Concert review: Carrie Underwood opens her Storyteller Tour on ...
You have to give credit to Carrie Underwood: She refused to be upstaged by her own stage Saturday night at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. On the opening night of her Storyteller Tour, Underwood played for an hour and 45 minutes on a stage that had to be seen to be believed. Rather than the traditional square stage on one end of the room, Underwood’s was set smack dab in the middle of the floor and stretched nearly from one end of the arena to the other. Parts rose and fell and rotated th..>> view original1 slain, 2 wounded in separate Jacksonville shootings during ...

Another neighbor said he heard the shots as he was walking up to the front of his house. He ducked for cover and avoided injury, but one of the bullets went through one of his windows. He said it was hard to tell how many shots were fired because sometimes it takes a while to hear an automatic or semi-automatic weapon be..>> view originalNew HandsOn Jacksonville chief has 'boundless energy' to better ...

In the front row, ready for practice, quarterback Augie DeBiase chewed Doritos. Behind him, cornerback Bishop Bonnett grimaced from a foot cramp. Safety Davonte Lawrence sat in silence. Wiley stared back. “The city is on your shoulders,” he said. “What are you doing?

When New England quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick walked off the field in Jacksonville after winning Super Bowl XXIX following the 2004 season, their future seemed to have no limit.
