What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYahoo Sports says ESPN made a list of fifteen NFL players and coaches on the hot seat entering Week six, and one of them is a Jaguar.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA hot seat? Is it a real chair, or are we being dramatic again?

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt is a flaming cartoon chair, Vera, and I rate this one near the surface of the sun, because a rough start in Jacksonville gets noticed fast.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich player?

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe report doesn't say in what we have, so I'm rating the heat and the heat alone. Let me tell you something, that is how pressure works.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere's my fan question: if the Jaguars are in teal, shouldn't the chair at least be cool?

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTo cool it down, they need to start winning, and soon. That's the whole recipe.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, but I'd sit in that chair. The teal works.
