Many of you in #jaxpol may remember Frank Keasler who ran for Mayor in 2023. Sadly, his family announced his passing this morning. May he rest in peace.

Boston broke a record last year for fewest homicides. It’s on track to do it again.
As of Dec. 10, Boston has reported just 22 homicides – a little over half of the 40 it had just two years ago.

Jags are not a bad team — we’ve lost 10 games, 8 are one-possession games.
We are absolutely poorly coached/managed — Trev shouldn’t have been playing yesterday due to shoulder and coaching/gameplan errors have lost us ball games.
