What more can be written about budding superstar Blake Bortles?<br />
His efforts on the field so far have spoken volumes, and the offensive<br />
performance of the Jaguars once again will rest on his broad shoulders.<br />
QB Blake Bortles:<br />
Armed & compassionate<br />
Hey Jacksonville, do you even know what kind of leader you have in Blake Bortles? Instead of looking on<br />
the field, these gems perhaps provide better measure of the man taking snaps for the Jaguars.<br />
1Drafted out of the University of<br />
Central Florida, Bortles is from<br />
Oviedo, Fla., which also is home to<br />
former University of Florida quarterback<br />
Jeff Driskel and former MLB catcher<br />
Hal King. He was a standout at<br />
Oviedo High School, where he<br />
threw for 5,576 yards and 53<br />
touchdowns. But some of<br />
Bortles’ most memorable<br />
moments took place after his<br />
Friday night varsity games.<br />
On Saturday mornings he<br />
was a volunteer buddy for the<br />
Challenger Football League, which<br />
gave youngsters with disabilities a chance<br />
to play alongside high school players,<br />
creating lasting relationships.<br />
2Bortles put part of his<br />
signing bonus with the<br />
Jaguars to good use,<br />
helping pay the tuition for his<br />
baseball-playing brother<br />
Colby, who attends<br />
Ol’ Miss where he is<br />
majoring in criminal<br />
justice. The younger<br />
Bortles, at 6-5, 235,<br />
is a third-baseman/<br />
DH with a threeyear<br />
average of<br />
.272 with 17<br />
HR, 111 RBI<br />
and a slugging<br />
percentage of<br />
.451.<br />
3The Blake Bortles Foundation was established<br />
in 2016 to support children with intellectual<br />
and developmental challenges in their pursuit<br />
of full, independent lives. It provides support<br />
to first responders, with the goal of improving<br />
their ability to safely carry out lifesaving work.<br />
The foundation accepts grant and scholarship<br />
applications in these areas of work, with an<br />
emphasis on autism. “We can make a huge impact<br />
on many people’s lives. Giving back to my<br />
community, especially children, is really important<br />
to me,” Bortles says. “By showing how I lend my<br />
support, I hope to inspire you to help out in your<br />
communities as well.” To donate: bit.ly/2bSbWm1<br />
4The inaugural Blake Bortles JaxPAL Football<br />
Camp took place in June. It provided 500<br />
local boys and girls the experience of a<br />
lifetime – learning skills like agility, proper stances,<br />
throwing techniques, catching techniques and<br />
much more from current and former NFL players,<br />
city leaders and college coaches. Among the<br />
volunteer coaches were teammates Chad Henne,<br />
Paul Posluszny, Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson,<br />
former NFL players Ernest Wilford and Drayton<br />
Florence, along with Jacksonville Mayor Lenny<br />
Curry and Sylvester Pickney of the Jacksonville<br />
Children’s Commission. The mission of Police<br />
Athletic League of Jacksonville, Inc. is built on<br />
the idea that a young person who respects police<br />
officers is much more likely to respect the laws<br />
they enforce. JaxPAL provides for more than 2,200<br />
at-risk Jacksonville children every year.<br />
5Bortles has captured the imagination of a<br />
rabid fan who makes sure he seems larger<br />
than life – a la Chuck Norris – @BortlesFacts<br />
on Twitter. Here are a couple of samples: Blake<br />
Bortles is undefeated in the Octagon. #UFC200,<br />
and “Peyton Manning retires holding the NFL<br />
records for most passing yards and touchdowns, but<br />
he never beat Blake Bortles.”<br />

An influx of veteran and rookie talent has left a decidely faster, stronger<br />
and more determined roster. One of those rookies, Myles Jack, took a<br />
rough-and-tumble path to Jacksonville. Now, he’s glad to be here.<br />
LB Myles Jack:<br />
A rookie’s journey<br />
BY KENNETH AMOS AND PHILLIP HEILMAN<br />
jack<br />
The path that Myles Jack took to the NFL over the course of the past<br />
five months would make most grown men cry. It’s a sometimes<br />
brutal story of injury and honesty, whispers and determination,<br />
intrigue and fulfillment.<br />
Many believe that Jack, drafted as a junior linebacker out of UCLA, is<br />
the ideal cog to help fulfill Jags’ head coach Gus Bradley’s desire for uptempo<br />
defensive schemes.<br />
That’s a lot of pressure to put on a young man who turned 21 on Sept. 3.<br />
This Jack, just like his namesake (hint, us), is new to the Cultural Core.<br />
By way of suburban Seattle and Los Angeles, soon his sideline-to-sideline<br />
defensive talents will be on display at EverBank Field for Jacksonville Jaguars<br />
fans. Jacksonville opens the season at home on Sunday, Sept. 11 against the<br />
Green Bay Packers.<br />
Jack says he’s already grown quite fond of Jacksonville and EverBank Field.<br />
After the Jags’ first preseason game, he said, “It felt electric, man. Just<br />
coming in and with what they have done with the stadium and the vibe, it’s<br />
great. There’s little kids swimming in the pools and then they’ve got the bar<br />
area right in the end zone. It’s a very cool place. I can’t wait until the regular<br />
season.”<br />
1st &10<br />
BLUE-CHIP PROSPECT<br />
Jack was a star running back through his sophomore year at Bellevue<br />
(Wash.) High School. He then switched to linebacker and led his team to<br />
a 14-0 record as a senior. Just a few miles separated Myles from someone<br />
who soon would become very important in his life; Gus Bradley, his future<br />
head coach, who was toiling as the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator.<br />
It was Bruins coach Jim Mora Jr. who sold Jack on Los Angeles being<br />
the right college for him. According to cbssports.com, before Jack had<br />
played a single down in college, proud mom and astute businesswoman<br />
La Sonjia (a senior executive with MicrosoftStore.com), would purchase a<br />
Lloyds of London insurance policy to protect her then-17-year-old son that<br />
from any serious injury or loss of value in a future NFL Draft.<br />
Jack was the top Pac-12 freshman on defense and offense. He started<br />
12 games at linebacker and one at running back. He ran for a UCLA<br />
freshman-record four touchdowns in a 41–31 win over Washington.<br />
He finished his first season with 75 tackles, the second-most ever by a<br />
UCLA true freshman, two interceptions and a TD on defense. Named<br />
an All-American by Athlon Sports, he received freshman All-America<br />
accolades from the Sporting News; and he was a finalist for the Paul<br />
Hornung Award. After his sophomore season in 2014, Jack was an All-<br />
Pac-12 linebacker once more.<br />

2nd DOWN<br />
JACK<br />
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5<br />
TRIPPED UP<br />
Jack was widely touted as the No. 1 linebacker in college football in<br />
2015. But during a September practice – just three games into his junior<br />
season – he bumped knees with a teammate during a non-contact drill and<br />
was unable to straighten his right knee. A torn anterior meniscus brought an<br />
end to his collegiate career. He withdrew from school in early October to<br />
rehab and ready his game for the NFL Draft just six months away.<br />
“He’s taking his chips and shoving them into the middle, and we hope he<br />
draws a good hand,” Mora said during a press conference last fall.<br />
By mid-March 2016, Jack still was on the mend. He performed for<br />
curious scouts during a Pro Day at UCLA, then he held a private workout<br />
for the Jaguars in Los Angeles on April 16. Bradley was there to see if<br />
Jack’s rebuilt knee could handle sudden change of direction without giving<br />
him too much time to rest. According to Peter King, writing online in early<br />
May for The Monday Morning Quarterback, Jack recounted that Bradley<br />
threw balls “crazy hard” above his head, two feet to his side and at his<br />
ankles. “[But] I did things they had never seen before,” he told King. “I was<br />
doing some [acrobatic New York Giants receiver] Odell Beckham stuff out<br />
there.”<br />
With the draft set for a Thursday night in April in Chicago. Jack and 24<br />
other stellar athletes were in town the day before to tour the Windy City.<br />
After getting star treatments befitting the instant millionaires each young<br />
athlete was about to become, they would end their day at an NFL “Play 60”<br />
event to mingle with and instruct local kids.<br />
Afterward, it was time to meet the press.<br />
3rd DOWN<br />
A BIT OF A STUMBLE<br />
During a Q&A, Jack was asked about his knee. With just about 24 hours until the<br />
draft, he inexplicably chose this moment to say, “[The degenerative problems are]<br />
there, but it’s nothing extreme. Down the line, possibly, I could have microfracture<br />
surgery — potentially. Who knows what will happen. Nobody knows how long<br />
anybody is going to play in this league. To play three years in this league would be<br />
above average,” he told reporters.<br />
Microfracture surgery refers to a procedure during which tiny holes are drilled into<br />
underlying bone to repair cartilage. Few athletes have ever fully rebounded.<br />
Social media erupted.<br />
Les Bowen, who covers the Eagles for the Philadelphia Daily News, took to Twitter<br />
and said, “NFL source calls Myles Jack ‘a time bomb’ whose knee could give him<br />
several good years, or not. Bone and cartilage starting to break away.”<br />
Legacy media pounced.<br />
Mike Mayock, draft analyst for NFL Network, said, “If everything I’ve heard about<br />
his knee is true, I don’t think there’s a team in the top 10 who can take Jack.<br />
Mora was reminded of his words at the press conference announcing Jack was<br />
turning pro. “NFL teams are very, very conservative, and if there’s any question<br />
whatsoever, they’ll pass on you in a heartbeat. They’re going to take<br />
the sure thing.”<br />
When the big night finally arrived, Jack appeared either unaware<br />
or nonplussed. As he escorted his mother down the red carpet an<br />
NFL Network reporter asked Jack to set the record straight.<br />
Still expecting to go high in the first round, and knowing the<br />
Jaguars held the No. 5 overall pick. a confident Jack shrugged and<br />
said, “Whatever team drafts me, I’ll be at their rookie minicamp.<br />
I’ll be playing this season.”<br />
Get to know: Myles Jack<br />
Jacqui from Jack sat down with Myles Jack to get<br />
to know a little about this Jaguars newbie.<br />
East Coast or West Coast?<br />
I lived on both coasts, but I got to go East. I<br />
love the South.<br />
Any significance behind No. 44?<br />
I wanted to go outside of the box and make<br />
the number its own. Most linebackers are 50,<br />
but I decided to be different.<br />
After whom do you pattern your game?<br />
I couldn’t say a specific person because I<br />
learned watching everybody play… but if there<br />
was a linebacker or two who I like I would say<br />
[Seattle Seahawks’ LB] Bobby Wagner and<br />
[Carolina Panthers’ LB] Luke Kuechly.<br />
What are your pre-game superstitions?<br />
I have to take a nap and a shower.<br />
Best sense of humor in the Jag’s locker<br />
room?<br />
[CB] Prince [Amukamara]<br />
What would your teammates be surprised<br />
to learn about you?<br />
I have three dogs; two pit bulls and a Presa<br />
Canario. I’m a big dog person, so I’m always<br />
kicking it with them. I have a pool in my<br />
backyard — that’s my favorite thing to do.<br />
Can you cook?<br />
I’m good at breakfast. I can whip up breakfast<br />
all day — biscuits, eggs, sausage, bacon,<br />
omelets — all of that.<br />
What has been your favorite football<br />
moment?<br />
The first time I started a game in [college]. It was<br />
the second game of the season and first play<br />
of the game I made a tackle. That was a really<br />
cool moment. It just clicked and the rest was<br />
history from there.<br />
If you could have one do-over in life, what<br />
would you do?<br />
I would have taken basketball more seriously.<br />
Will you keep reading Jack if we tell people<br />
it’s named after you?<br />
Yeah, that’s dope!<br />

RECOVERING THE LOST YARDS<br />
Mother and son made their way to the camera-laden Green Room,<br />
where, according to King’s report, they were joined by Mora Jr. and<br />
Jack’s agent John Thornton. Also on hand to celebrate in style were Jack’s<br />
brother Jahlen, his grandmother, girlfriend and personal trainer.<br />
Jack was hopeful, with good reason.<br />
“There is confidence that a team in the mid-to-late teens will serve<br />
as a draft floor for Jack, so a fall out of the first round is unlikely. Jack<br />
believes this, and several sources believe the same,” wrote Ian Rappaport<br />
for nfl.com.<br />
Soon, Jacksonville was on the clock and excitement was palpable.<br />
“With the fifth pick for the 2016 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars<br />
select Jalen Ramsey, defensive back, Florida State,” announced NFL<br />
Commissioner Roger Goodell.<br />
More names would follow but Myles David Jack, once considered<br />
a top-five lock, would not hear his this evening gone wrong. Friends<br />
and family were left to try to console him. Mora gave Jack a piece of<br />
paper on which he had written: (Dan) Marino: 27, (Aaron) Rodgers: 24;<br />
(Randy) Moss: 21; (Troy) Polamalu: 16. Each future star had seen their<br />
stock slip, too.<br />
Jack’s free-fall created a feeding frenzy of speculation and insinuation.<br />
ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell even reported, “A source with knowledge<br />
of the policy says that Jack will start to collect if he falls to the 45th pick<br />
in the draft and will get about $60,000 per pick after that. That means<br />
Jack will collect north of $1 million if he slips into the third round, but he<br />
would have to fall into the early sixth round to collect the entire policy. ...”<br />
Was Jack the unwitting victim of a smear campaign by agents<br />
representing other linebackers? Possibly, given one tidbit from Jason La<br />
Canfora, writing for cbssports.com.<br />
“This Myles Jack stuff is getting blown way out of proportion,” he<br />
reported an anonomyous NFL executive as saying. “I checked with our<br />
medical guys, again, and this stuff just is not true. It’s not something we<br />
would be worried about. Some agent or some team must be behind it.<br />
We’re not taking a linebacker there (in the first round), but if we were we<br />
wouldn’t have any problems taking him. We passed him without any real<br />
issues. This kid is a great player. ... This is getting totally blown out of<br />
proportion.”<br />
King’s reporting mentioned that it was Mora, who before the draft,<br />
had several conversations with the Jags’ Bradley. In one, he recalled<br />
saying, “Don’t be the fool that doesn’t take Myles Jack. This is a kid<br />
who smiles in every practice. He’s the hardest worker and he loves<br />
football. I know you, and this is your kind of guy.”<br />
On the draft’s second night, Jaguars General Manager Dave Caldwell<br />
orchestrated a trade with Baltimore to nab Jack near the top of the<br />
second round. The team did so because its doctors did not believe Jack<br />
would need the dreaded microfracture surgery.<br />
“Doctors are like scouts and personnel evaluators,” Caldwell<br />
explained to King. “Every doctor has an opinion, and ours consulted<br />
quite a few cartilage experts. We don’t feel Myles will need<br />
microfracture [surgery]. Our feelings never changed from the Scouting<br />
Combine to the medical recheck.”<br />
A BRAND NEW SET OF DOWNS<br />
With the NFL season almost here, Jack seems ready to turn the page — along with the<br />
whispers and innuendoes of draft night — into a dream scenario.<br />
In his first professional workouts, Jack showcased fluidity, athleticism and agility, but wasn’t<br />
being used in dropback or cover situations. As the knee continued to heal, he still needed to reestablish<br />
quickness, the bursts of speed and the changes of direction needed in the pros.<br />
Jack told reporters he was glad to be back on the field. “You figure out what the tempo is<br />
like. All of this is very valuable; I’m just trying to learn and I’m excited to go to the film and see<br />
what I can improve on.”<br />
He absorbs gems about his position from 10-year veteran middle linebacker Paul Posluszny.<br />
“I get good advice from him every day. … He has given me a lot of tokens, honestly. Really<br />
just try to get better every day, learn from everybody else and try not to make the same mistakes<br />
that the guys in front of you make. Just be clean and be crisp when it’s your time to step up.”<br />
And Jack is glad to have landed close to home.<br />
“I grew up in [Dacula and Suwanee] Georgia, so kind of being down here in Florida reminds<br />
me of my days growing up in Georgia. I love it. The food here is great. I’ve kind of gotten used<br />
to the weather. It’s a great place to be. I love Jacksonville.<br />
“It’s really cool, me being new to the NFL and coming into the situation. I’m just trying to<br />
get a feel and a grasp for all the hype around. The Jaguars are everything. It’s really cool to be<br />
a part of a good team. That’s what you want to be a part of is a team that wins and goes to the<br />
Super Bowl. I’m excited to be a part of this team and get some wins and see what we<br />
can do.”<br />
And Jack knows the team’s loyal fans are ready for a<br />
winner, too.<br />
“Most definitely,” he said. It’s crazy, man.<br />
Going into Publix to get groceries and stuff,<br />
people are always stopping you. The spirit for<br />
the Jags is 100 percent.<br />
“It’s a very exciting time.”<br />
And that’s a fact, Myles David Jack.<br />
WATCH: Myles Jack’s collegiate highlights:<br />
bit.ly/2biXlRW<br />
1st & 10 AGAIN<br />
A day late and<br />
a dollar short<br />
A day after Myles Jack was<br />
drafted, ESPN’s Adam Schefter<br />
tweeted, “Dr. James Andrews,<br />
who examined Myles Jack in<br />
December, told the UCLA LB<br />
today (April 29) that he does not<br />
need micro-fracture surgery.”<br />
John Thornton, Jack’s befuddled<br />
agent, offered, “I wish these<br />
doctors/trainers would have<br />
shared concussion info like they<br />
are sharing “alleged” Myles Jack<br />
knee info?<br />
#TheShield JohnThornton (@<br />
JohnThornton) April 18, 2016<br />
The curious timing certainly cost<br />
Jack. Despite inking a fouryear<br />
deal worth $6,334,442<br />
($2,806,868 guaranteed) based<br />
on the league’s rookie wage scale,<br />
Jack paid a steep price for his<br />
slide out of the first round.<br />
Appearing on the Rich Eisen Show<br />
in May, Jack spoke candidly about<br />
the surreal first night of the draft.<br />
“It was, honestly, humiliating. It<br />
was embarrassing having to sit<br />
there, and afterwards walking out,<br />
having my girl to my left, my mom<br />
to my right, my grandmother to<br />
the right of her and having to look<br />
at them, it was a tough feeling,”<br />
he said.<br />

Lunch With Matt About Jax<br />
CURTIS DVORAK IS<br />
UP TO THIS SUPER<br />
FOOD CHALLENGE<br />
BY MATT PITTMAN<br />
jack<br />
Matt Pittman<br />
Curtis Dvorak<br />
Today’s lunch date: Curtis Dvorak<br />
Reporter, First Coast News • Entertainer<br />
For 19 years Curtis Dvorak<br />
put on a mascot suit, entertained<br />
and earned legions of fans. He<br />
turned Jaxson de Ville into a<br />
main attraction. No matter if the<br />
Jacksonville Jaguars were winning<br />
or losing, fans wondered: What<br />
would Jaxson do next?<br />
Bungee jumping and zip lining<br />
into EverBank Field, antagonizing<br />
opposing players and letting the<br />
world know that “Towels Carry<br />
Ebola” were just a few things that<br />
Dvorak did while playing his role<br />
as entertainer.<br />
“The art of being a mascot,<br />
which is a performance art to me<br />
and the other good mascots out<br />
there, there is a skill involved in<br />
taking a suit that never changes<br />
it’s expression and showing every<br />
emotion,” he said.<br />
Aside from working game days,<br />
Dvorak spent much of his time<br />
in the community making public<br />
appearances. The toughest ones<br />
came after a loss.<br />
Dvorak didn’t stay out of the<br />
public eye for long after retiring in<br />
2015. You can see him every day<br />
on the First Coast News program<br />
“First Coast Living” and on “Good<br />
Morning Jacksonville.”<br />
He says “First Coast Living”<br />
allows him to “talk with amazing<br />
people from our community. The<br />
stuff I do on “Good Morning<br />
Jacksonville” is basically what I<br />
was able to do as the mascot: twoto-three-minute<br />
video skits about<br />
events and parts of Jacksonville<br />
that are great. I’m so lucky to<br />
have Rob (Mennie, president and<br />
general manager) over at FCN.<br />
When he hired me he said ‘We are<br />
hiring you to be you.’ That meant<br />
the world to me.”<br />
Now on the periphery of the<br />
business, Dvorak loves the way the<br />
Jaguars are evolving.<br />
“I’ve not seen this much talent<br />
on our roster in a long long time,”<br />
he said. “We have all of the pieces<br />
that you have to have to win. We<br />
have one of the best receivers in<br />
the game. We have a quarterback<br />
who is easily in the top 10. If our<br />
defense can maintain, we can be a<br />
successful team.”<br />
Naturally, Dvorak wants to<br />
see a winning season and, of<br />
course, the playoffs “But I really<br />
want the team to win for [head<br />
coach] Gus [Bradley]. He needs a<br />
winning season. “I don’t want him<br />
to be fired simply because he and<br />
[his wife] McKayla are amazing<br />
people. Their heart for doing good<br />
is so impressive and so genuine.<br />
The impact he can make in this city<br />
… you can’t put a number on.”<br />
For this lunch Dvorak chose<br />
Super Food and Brew.<br />
“For my body, I’m not out there<br />
burning the calories like I did in<br />
the suit. I’ve gotten into healthier<br />
eating, more of a plant-based<br />
diet. When I come to Super Food<br />
the food is fresh and tastes good.<br />
When I leave here after lunch I<br />
feel good. I also like the vibe of<br />
being Downtown, in the middle<br />
of everything. The food is always<br />
great. Usually the company is<br />
good … other times, you’re here,”<br />
he said once again rendering his<br />
audience speechless.<br />

hoi hoi!<br />
A new gridiron season is upon<br />
us, meaning it’s time to head to<br />
INTUITION ALE WORKS’ new<br />
Downtown location to celebrate<br />
Octoberfest in Jacksonville.<br />
Dust off your dirndl dress or<br />
lederhosen and join these fine folks<br />
at their days-old location — Noon-<br />
8pm, Sept. 17 — for a tasty selection<br />
of classic brews, live music<br />
from the Swinging Bavarians,<br />
German-inspired eats, the crowning<br />
of the festival king and queen<br />
And, what would Oktoberfest<br />
be without a barrel roll, brat toss or<br />
stein-holding competition?<br />
Sausage Paradise will be on-site<br />
selling nine, hand-made German<br />
sausages served with all the trimmings<br />
and Community Loaves will<br />
be baking up soft pretzels.<br />
12 jack | SEPTEMBER 7-20, 2016<br />
On-site parking will not be<br />
available the day of the event, so<br />
use the parking garage located at<br />
999 E Adams St.<br />
Three ticket packages are<br />

THE BEST GAME DAY EXPERIENCES<br />
YOU TOLD US WHERE<br />
TO WATCH THE JAGUARS<br />
Mike Field:<br />
Without a doubt Dos Gatos. Not<br />
only do they make the best drinks<br />
in town (and perhaps the world),<br />
but they do free shots for every<br />
Jaguars touchdown scored and<br />
regulars bring in food pot luck<br />
style. Plus, no Skynard will be<br />
played during the game... ever.<br />

Without a doubt, the best seats each Game Day are at EverBank Field.<br />
Of course nothing beats being there in person, but those seats, concessions<br />
and souvenirs cost real money.<br />
When it comes time for our Jacksonville Jaguars to line up this season,<br />
you should know some of the best places in the Cultural Core to spend<br />
your hard-earned green. Why not go where you’ll be positioned to root for<br />
the home team while consuming vast quantities of great food and, most<br />
importantly, ice-cold beer? You can do all of this while surrounded by<br />
friends, fans and new faces, all in the comfort of your own booth or table.<br />
Some faithful readers and co-workers were eager to voice their<br />
opinions and help you find a favorite place for food, football and suds.<br />
So visit these #JackApproved spots for Game Day deals and help cheer<br />
on our Jags!<br />
Jack Bobeck:<br />
Mellow Mushroom in Avondale<br />
neighborhood, always a strong<br />
following and plenty of televisions,<br />
great food, AND dog friendly/dog<br />

is good too, with a TV outside for<br />
the games for you and your furry<br />

OH, SNAP! CARSON<br />
TINKER LOVES HIS<br />
RIVERSIDE LIFESTYLE<br />
BY COURTNEY CLARK<br />
jack<br />
Since signing with the Jaguars<br />
in 2013, Alabama native Carson<br />
Tinker has fallen in love with<br />
Riverside. He says it’s loaded with<br />
culture.<br />
“It’s just been really cool to get<br />
to know different kinds of people<br />
from different backgrounds,”<br />
Tinker says of the neighborhood’s<br />
diversity. “I don’t ever leave Riverside<br />
unless I have to.”<br />
The Jaguars’<br />
long-snapper<br />
even convinced<br />
teammates<br />
Jason Myers<br />
and Chad<br />
Henne to<br />
at least<br />
consider<br />
moving to<br />
Riverside.<br />
Tinker, 26, enjoys getting to<br />
know people and delving deep into<br />
the community.<br />
The fourth-year veteran says<br />
Jacksonville has the feeling of a<br />
big city with small-town roots.<br />
Tinker’s go-to lunch spot is<br />
the Goal Post (a fitting name)<br />
Sandwich Shop in Avondale. He<br />
particularly enjoys the Riverside-<br />
Avondale Luminaria celebration,<br />
and he frequents the Riverside Arts<br />
Market with wife Annie at least<br />
once a month.<br />
This summer, Tinker added<br />
kayaking to his abundance of interests.<br />
He says he usually launches at<br />
nearby Stinson Park at the foot of<br />
the Ortega Bridge.<br />
“I think Stinson Park is the<br />
prettiest view in Jacksonville. I<br />
love going out there,” he said. Tinker<br />
admits it took a while before<br />
he finally learned to hit the water at<br />
just the right tide to prevent bottoming<br />
out.<br />
“If it’s low tide, you’re not<br />
going to be able to get back. I<br />
learned that the hard way,” he<br />
said.<br />
Exercising his mind also<br />
appeals to Tinker, who nonchalantly<br />
mentions that he can solve<br />
a Rubik’s Cube fairly quickly.<br />
“They’re not that hard,” he says.<br />
“I used to be able to do it in<br />
under a minute.”<br />
And before preparations for the<br />
2016 season finally ramped up, the<br />
down-to-earth long snapper probably<br />
caused several double-takes<br />
among fans seeing him helping<br />
out a few days each week at Bold<br />
City Brewery.<br />
“Believe it or not, NFL guys<br />
get bored in the off season,”<br />
Tinker says. He asked the<br />
Miller family, owners of the<br />
popular Riverside gathering<br />
spot, if he could come<br />
by to learn about the art<br />
of brewing.<br />
This, from a man<br />
whose resume includes<br />
a national championship<br />
with his<br />
home state’s<br />
Crimson Tide in<br />
2009. Signed<br />
by the Jaguars<br />
as an<br />
undrafted<br />
free agent<br />
in 2013, before last season Tinker<br />
parlayed his steady performance<br />
into a substantial contract.<br />
But the specialty center didn’t<br />
have any qualms about paying his<br />
dues and starting at the bottom at<br />
Bold City.<br />
“They didn’t give me any<br />
kind of special treatment,” he said<br />
recalling his first day moonlighting.<br />
“I was doing grunt work.”<br />
Tinker’s outgoing personality<br />
doesn’t allow him to believe he is<br />
any different from anyone else. He<br />
has been known to spend his free<br />
time enthusiastically interacting<br />
with his fans.<br />
“I’m just a normal guy, I feel<br />
like,” he says of his willingness to<br />
spend time among his admirers. “I<br />
just happen to play football.”<br />
Tinker is fond of Jacksonville<br />
fans, labeling them genuine in<br />
their football interests. Rather than<br />
just asking for a photo or a selfie<br />
and walking away, he says Jags’<br />
fans tend to spend time their time<br />
with him asking about the team.<br />
“I kind of see myself as more<br />
of a fan than a player sometimes,”<br />
he says.<br />

Hell or High Water<br />
Texas brothers Toby (Chris Pine) & Tanner (Ben<br />
Foster) come together after years divided to rob<br />
branches of the bank threatening to foreclose<br />
on their family land. For them, the hold-ups are<br />
just part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a<br />
future that seemed to have been stolen from<br />
under them. Justice seems to be theirs until they<br />
find themselves on the radar of Texas Ranger,<br />
Marcus (Jeff Bridges) looking for one last grand<br />
pursuit on the eve of his retirement & partner<br />
Alberto (Gil Birmingham). R. 102min.<br />
Multiple Maniacs<br />
(1970) Divine leads a troupe of misfits, calling<br />
themselves ‘Lady Divine’s Cavalcade of<br />

they are then robbed & possibly killed to support<br />
Divine’s greed, lust & maniacal need to run the<br />
show. X 92min.<br />

where to explore<br />
Duval ’Til We Die!<br />
There is only one way to tailgate this football season and that’s<br />
with Bold City Brigade and the Teal Street Hooligans.<br />
Tailgaters meet on “THE SLAB” before each home game and<br />
experience a pregame ritual unlike any other.<br />
What can you expect from a BCB and TSH tailgate? Loud music,<br />
cheering fans and amazing food, of course. If you want to see 200<br />
people running in a circle then chugging beer, yep, they’ll have<br />
that, too. And there’s always Santa Claus tackling a Christmas tree<br />
decorated with beer cans, but you’ll have to wait for the holidays to<br />
see that one.<br />
Bold City Brigade<br />

The tailgate is located directly behind Tailgaters parking in the lot bordering the intersection<br />
of Duval and Bryan streets.<br />

The satirical muscle of Second City will harness the often<br />

will be a thoughtful, funny and self-aware evening of entertainment.<br />
