Should Jacksonville accept Airbnb's tax money?
Airbnb wants to pay its taxes, but first, the county must go through its contracts. For years, the website allowed anyone to rent their abodes — houses, apartments, treehouses, tents, RVs or any other creatively defined “home” — like hotels to strangers. In Jacksonville and most cities, the website has done so without paying bed taxes, arguing that it is up to the person renting his home to pay the taxes. But two months ago, a PricewaterhouseCoopers tax manager hired by Airbnb sent the Duval C..>> view originalNFL Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars
With the NFL recently releasing their preseason schedule, the Jacksonville Jaguars are going into a test for the regular season with full momentum.

Quarterback for the Jags Blake Bortles set single-season franchise records for yards, completions, attempts and touchdowns.

NEW ORLEANS | Former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith was shot and killed in a case of road rage by a man who had rear-ended his car, police said Sunday.

AUGUSTA, GA. | Jordan Spieth has led the Masters Tournament after each of his last seven rounds. But never has his grip been more tenuous. The 22-year-old Spieth turned a four-shot bulge with two holes to play at the Augusta National Golf Club on Saturday into one with a bogey at No. 17 and a hacker’s double-bogey at No. 18 to limp home with a 73 and a 54-hole total of 3-under-par 213. “It was a really tough finish to go from really holding a four-shot lead and being in a very similar position ..>> view originalMasters notebook: Langer trying to get 'one for the old guys'
AUGUSTA, GA. | Bernhard Langer was asked if he could win the Masters on Sunday. The 58-year-old two-time Masters champion and 26-time PGA Tour Champions winner said, without hesitation, “I believe I can.” He gained other believers during a Saturday sprint up the leaderboard with a 70, putting him at 1-under-par 215, only two shots behind leader Jordan Spieth. Langer set the stage for the possibility that he could become the oldest man to win the tournament -- 12 years older than Jack Nicklaus w..>> view originalTiming off for Jacksonville bid for state football championships
News of Daytona Beach moving in position to host the state high school football championship series broke late Thursday night and it was met largely with positive response across the state. A smaller facility should create a better game-day atmosphere for the players, and Daytona Beach has history in running the state series well. Its 10,000-seat Municipal Stadium has served as the central host to the Florida High School Athletic Association’s championship game six times before (1989-90, 1993-9..>> view originalNFL Insider: Jags-Jets deal might be worth exploring
The Jaguars could be of assistance to the New York Jets in their sudden pursuit of a left tackle. Just don’t expect the aid to be Luke Joeckel. Not at this point. The Jets lost their left tackle when D’Brickashaw Ferguson retired on Friday. The 32-year-old Ferguson started 167 consecutive games (including playoffs) in his 10-year career. He never missed a game after being selected with the fourth overall pick. The Jets pick up a needed $9 million in salary-cap space with the departure, but the ..>> view originalNew journey for Armada

AUGUSTA, GA. | Billy Horschel was striking the ball well during Saturday’s third round of the Masters Tournament, and got a huge emotional lift with a long birdie putt at the Augusta National Golf Club’s par-4 ninth hole and a two-putt birdie at the par-5 13th. Facing a 13-foot, uphill putt for birdie at the par-5 15th, the University of Florida graduate and Ponte Vedra Beach resident liked where he stood: make the putt and go to 2-over par for the tournament with three holes to play, and perha..>> view originalSuspect shot in attempted robbery of Metro PCS store
