MadJack is back and has been monitoring all of your posts this week. I appreciate the passion on both sides of the debate whether the banner message (NO FIX IT, NO BISCUIT) is appropriate.
I felt it was and not overly negative especially in light of past messages. However, the Cardinals organization felt differently and notified me just hours before kickoff Sunday.
Consequently, I did not have time to modify it to their satisfaction. This is unfortunate as I would have immediatly accommodated their request and the banner would have hung proudly as it has since 1995.
Bottom line is that the Cardinals allow me the privilege and know that I would never jeopardize this honor. My greatest challenge is to speak for the fans while trying to maintain a balance of positivity and motivation.
Obviously, last weeks banner message was deemed inappropriate which is unfortunate. However, the last thing I want to do here is inflame the controversy and risk damaging my relationship with the Cardinals.
So....I am pleading to all of you to please let this go and to not escalate further. Lessons learned folks and really...no...big...deal.
Thanks for your understanding.

The team better prepare for the "boo birds." They can force Jack to hang team-approved (read "censored") banners all they want. How is it going to be when the home fan base is booing the home team on MNF if they can't right this ship?

It's football season!!
Very disappointing if the team is going to start to tightly regulating what you say, MadJack. To those who know the banner and what it stands for, it is the voice of the fans from a fan and the best tradition we have in Arizona. Have they ever denied you from putting up a banner before?
I am going to keep the pic of your banner as my FB profile pic until after the Niners game in honor of all you do to speak for the fans!

At that point I would have taken off the "No fix it, no biscuit" message and would have displayed the banner blank; i.e. - without a message!

Is hanging a banner that important? I would've told them - 'see ya' and never hang another one. But that's just me, lol
Now they're impinging my right to free speech.

It's not free speech. The fine print on the back of event tickets is basically a contract.

Same with me. It's fun when you have the freedom to come up with banners on your own or from suggestions by other fans. The team should know and trust Madjack by now but this stunt this past weekend SUCKS. Seriously, they need to know that this decision upset people. Madjack - don't roll over and take their censorship so lightly. Now you'll just be the brown-noser who does positive signs to please the team just so it can be hung. #neuteredbytheteam
Not a thing. Their house, their rules.

It would be interesting to see if they would approve a banner that simply read #TeamApproved - my guess is that they would not.
I agree - their house, their rules, not a thing. But I also think they should think carefully before rejecting anything, and the spirit of "no fixit-no biscuit" was certainly not mean nor demeaning of BA or the franchise, and they should have let it hang.

You guys are being ridiculous. Yes, it SUCKS the team made this choice but we all love the banner and I want to see them up u til MJ decides to hang 'em up... Pun completely intended.
yeah...... but it has always been a fan expression... if they are not going to let the fans express opinions on the banners they may as well make them themselves.
I have no issues with the decision to not allow it. It was better for the person to err on the side of caution vs looking for a new job come Monday morning. I'm sure if Mike B had seen it he would be okay with it. Mad Jack is the only person allowed to do this & if he feels everyone needs to cool it on complaining about it so he can continue to do this then we should respect his wishes. Jmho.

Come on... It's ONE time in the history of the banner, coming early in what everyone was afraid would easily be THE most disappointing season in team history.
What it says to me is that it's not a fun time in the organization right now and can you blame them? We're all pretty much crushed as fans, but the peeps in the organization... This is what they do for a living! As pissed as we are, I'm betting it's double for them.
Gotta cut them a little slack right now. At least I'm going to.
Just so sad this season looks like it's going down the toilet.
Damn... Maybe I AM the Company Man after all!

What Madjack did was beneficial for every fan. Who cares if they would want it up or not... I care because it made the team realize the fans are not going to take their current ineptitude, in a direct message which is more physical than a email tweet

So can the team stop everyone from showing up with bags on their heads like Saints fans did decades ago?
I am so irritated that they censored that message since it was IMO a mellow slap to their faces that many fans felt the needed to deliver.
I am usually a glass half full guy and felt the "No Fix It No Biscuit" message was the best way to express disappointment without being super negative.
I have lost my joy and spirit for this season and feel this may be my worst experience as a Cards fan and that's over 40 years of faithful fandom. I will start watching the game this Thursday but have to get up early for work so if we are still sucking I will go to bed and record the game and if we lose will delete it without watching it. I have too much going on in my life to watch the CRAP that this team is giving us at this time.
No Fix It then FU.
