🏈 Sports
Jacksonville Jaguars took home another preseason win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! Quarterback Mac Jones said, “I think it’s been really laid back here…Obviously winning is fun… hopefully we can do some of that, too”.
That’s how we like to describe Jacksonville too. Laid back, fun, and we like to win sometimes, too.
The last preseason game gets played this Friday at 7pm against the Atlanta Falcons.
Treat Yourself
To fresh donuts from Donut Shoppe on University Blvd. A recent review claims the donuts melt in your mouth. It might be our duty as Jacksonvillians to find out.
For my birthday this year, I'll be treating myself to their donut CAKE. Yes, you read that correctly.
