OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[MOBB DEEP]

today he talks to coles about how he's not trying to replace his freinship with chad, he's just here to help them win

bubba says #4 "still has it, ask any of the WRs" and that he's been "making incredible plays"

bubba's locker is rght next to lord's and he comes to him with any questions

brett says his arm is a little fatigued ("no pain") and that he felt 38 today - mangini states that this is normal for camp b/c u take more reps than most weeks during season.

brett also favorably compared coles and his other wrs to the ones he had in GB with respect to their play-making abilities (YACS) - this along with the fact that thomas jones is AT LEAST as good as grant gives team hope....


LET'S GOOOOOOOO.....!!!!!

Wait 10 minutes - he might change his mind.

btw, im goin to use this thread to post info i get during #4's career with the jets. i will do my best to limit my comments about brett to this thread, so that the posters who cringe at my (and others') pro-favre/jet posts can simply avoid them by ignoring the thread

thanks

[Scott Campbell]

Why will they call them the New York Jets anyway? I can't believe that being from New Jersey is such a disgrace that you can't name the team by the actual location - especially given the city that the Bears are saddled with.

lol, bubba was sayn that the other players were observing #4 in awe, wathchn him make incredible plays. meanwhile he, bubba, was sittn back laughn b/c he's SO used to seein brett do the things he was doing...

i can visualize that

brett says the jet's system isnt easy "at all" and that he has "just enuff down to run those plays saturday"

he says he isnt sure how things will turn out on sat

him and skins QB jason campbell went fishing on brett's property over the summer

btw, TheGangGreen.com forum is quite sophisticated except they swear even more than u heathens. i'll introduce myself friday and pray they give me a warm welcome....he he

[pbmax]

I hope Mangini heeds Favre on the tired arm deal. They have been limiting his throws from OTAs, minicamps and Training camp since he came down with tendinitis in his elbow in 2000.

[Rastak]

I think Brett deserves the vast majority of the blame for what happened.

In a way. All the media circus was petty much generated by Favre obviously. I still come back to this over and over when discussing this. When Favre called McCarthy and said "I want to come back", I believe the official response should have been rather terse. Great, see you in camp. Rodgers starts out #1 on the depth chart and if he outplays him, he stays there.

Just my take.

[gex]

Thanx for starting one of these Mobb, keeping us posted on how Brett is doing in New York.
Now, the haters don't need to open this thread and reply with insults and little sarcastic remarks every time a good word is said about Favre.

[motife]

Chad Pennington is smart enough to give Bill Parcells' latest reclamation project a chance. Not only does he know Dan Henning's offense from their year together with the Jets in 2000, but right now he knows Brian Schottenheimer's offense better than Favre. And no doubt he's already spilling his guts.

If Pennington beats the Jets, GM Mike Tannenbaum will have some explaining to do about how, in the euphoria of trading for Favre, he couldn't trade Pennington and get him out of the AFC East.

"When somebody is a free agent, we can't control where he goes," Tannenbaum said Tuesday. "The fact that he is going within the division is another challenge we have to deal with as an organization. He makes Miami a better team."

Pennington was a free agent only because the Jets made him a free agent. The Packers refused to trade Favre to the Vikings or Bears in the NFC North and would not cut him because they knew he would sign with Minnesota.

Bucs should have tried harder for Favre
Posted by Keith Kidd

After a back-and-forth soap opera in Green Bay, QB Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets. However, Tampa Bay should have tried harder to trade for Favre because he would have been a perfect fit and would have made the Bucs much better.

Jon Gruden and Brett Favre should have been reunited in Tampa Bay.
It is clear the Packers didn't want to trade Favre within the NFC, which is why their asking price from Tampa Bay was more than what they got from New York. But if it would have taken just a slightly better draft pick than the Jets reportedly traded plus a veteran player to bring the future Hall of Fame quarterback to Tampa Bay, the Bucs' organization dropped the ball.
Bucs coach Jon Gruden has a prior relationship with Favre from when he was on the Packers' coaching staff from 1992-94, and Gruden has a history of getting the most out of experienced quarterbacks. He did wonders for Rich Gannon in Oakland and Brad Johnson in Tampa Bay when the Bucs won the Super Bowl, and even for Jeff Garcia last season. This move would have been good for the defending NFC South champion Bucs as well as for Favre, who would have joined a team in a winnable division loaded with veteran players, making for an easier transition.

Even though Gruden's playbook is one of the most sophisticated, Favre wouldn't have struggled transitioning to a different West Coast offensive system. Gruden would have sat down with him and quarterbacks coach Greg Olson to figure out what Favre is most comfortable with and would have built on that as the regular season neared. Gruden's playbook has a lot of similarities to what Favre is used to because it is all derived from Mike Holmgren's system. The hardest part for Favre would have been getting familiar with the Buccaneers' terminology, but he would have done all he could to make a smooth transition. He would have spent extra time in the meeting room working with Gruden, Olson and the other quarterbacks trying to catch up.

Favre would have made running backs Earnest Graham, Warrick Dunn and Carnell Williams better. The Buccaneers love to pound the rock, and opposing defenses wouldn't have been able to play eight men in the box like they do with Jeff Garcia under center, because Favre would have picked them apart. Favre would have done things Garcia can't do because Favre has a lot more arm strength and can attack all levels in the passing game.

The offensive linemen would have been much-improved because they would be able to protect him much easier than Garcia, since Garcia tends to move around in the pocket a lot, which makes it difficult for the linemen to have a common ground and know their depth within the pocket. Even though Favre is somewhat of a gunslinger, he is still primarily a pocket passer. The addition of C Jeff Faine in free agency also would have helped Favre's transition because of Faine's ability to handle the protections while identifying fronts and blitzes, which is less that Favre would have had to worry about. He would have had to focus only on his position and worry only about the back end in regards to zone concepts and coverage designs.

Favre was able to do wonders in Green Bay with a young receiving corps, and there are many similarities between the Packers and Bucs. Both have one veteran receiver -- Donald Driver in Green Bay and Joey Galloway in Tampa -- and both have a stable of young talent. Favre would have had no problem connecting with Galloway because he is a true No. 1, even though he isn't getting any younger. But Favre could have done wonders for Michael Clayton, who should be in the No. 2 role since Ike Hilliard fits best as a No. 3. Adding a premier passer would have helped Clayton's chances of getting back to producing like he did during his rookie season (1,193 yards and seven touchdowns). TE Alex Smith's production would have also increased because Favre loves to incorporate his tight ends, especially near the goal line.

Last season the Bucs were No. 17 in the NFL in third-down percentage, while Green Bay was No. 8. If the Bucs had Favre under center, the Bucs' defense would have been able to rest a little longer. Plus, the improved running game wouldn't hurt, either.

If the Bucs had Favre, maybe they wouldn't have been on a level with Dallas just yet, but they would have definitely gained ground in the NFC.

The marriage between Favre and Gruden definitely would have had a happy ending. The last time they were paired together (1994) Favre threw for 3,882 yards, 33 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 90.7 quarterback rating in Green Bay (while Gruden was the wide receivers coach). They'd be in the playoffs, possibly have a home game and then from there, with Favre, anything is possible. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility that Favre could have led the Bucs to a conference title game or even a Super Bowl -- which, by the way, is in Tampa this year.

[pbmax]

At the receiving end of the deal, that's a hard call. Pennington might not generate the interest Favre did among teams that view him as a starter. And teams that viewed him as a backup could afford to out wait the Jets.

The Jets would have need to perform cap surgery to keep both until a trade could be arranged.


Chad Pennington is smart enough to give Bill Parcells' latest reclamation project a chance. Not only does he know Dan Henning's offense from their year together with the Jets in 2000, but right now he knows Brian Schottenheimer's offense better than Favre.

Things I noted from the article....

Arm "fatigued"

"I feel 38 today."

“I wondered this morning when I got up, ‘What in the heck am I doing?.....I hate to study....I hate to practice." - It's only been a week!

Brett ran a second penalty lap per team rules. - I really wonder how many more times he'll do this to be "one of the guys" without griping. I don't think he can keep being required to do it without feeling disrespected.

Farve has a habit of starting a sentence, "To be honest with you,...." and then speaks his mind, often just off the cuff. For his sake I hope he plays well because in the media jungle of New York it's not hard to imagine the writers dissecting every word he says and spinning it negatively if and when he plays poorly.

Farve owned GB in a PR sense after earning the respect of the football world over so many years. But the media of the Big Apple will chew him up and spit him out if he struggles through the first few games.

Being publicly trashed by your hometown media during the football season is pressure that Farve has never faced. I hope he doesn't experience that this season either because I have my doubts how well he and his quality family would positively respond to it.

Just my personal opinion, but I just don't think any family from Hattiesburg, Mississippi can easily adjust to the center stage glare of New York, much less when its head is a HOF quarterback expected to revive a disappointing professional football franchise.

Culturally, round peg in a square hole, IMHO, facing enormous expectations to succeed. I can't begin to imagine the pressure to perform well.

Harlan, its a Favre thread, others have asked for it and its not a bad idea.
I know nobody has to but, to keep things kosher, if you don't care to hear about Favre or just always have to cut him down, don't post in this one thread.


....btw, I am very much crazy, I got over the denial stage years ago. :shock:

[Harlan Huckleby]

you are the problem, gex. your continued talk of "haters" is just carrying on an argument that ended long ago. Nobody is cutting down Favre, unless you are referring to the much-deserved criticism he got in the month before left Green Bay.

move on, its over.

Bucs should have tried harder for Favre
Posted by Keith Kidd

After a back-and-forth soap opera in Green Bay, QB Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets. However, Tampa Bay should have tried harder to trade for Favre because he would have been a perfect fit and would have made the Bucs much better...

Hard to believe the difference one season makes. The writer above discusses how a trade of Favre to the Bucs would have greatly improved the passing game, running game, and defense, all with a single transaction.

Quite a contrast from the last 3-4 offseasons, when the majority media opinion was that Favre should just hang up the cleats already, that his continued play was only hurting his team and himself, and that he had little left in the tank. Talk about a 180. Now the media consensus seems to be that Brett could have made almost any team an instant title contender.

In my eyes Favre was basically the same player over the last 5 years or so in GB. His success last year over previous years was mostly a factor of improved protection, WR play, and limiting costly mistakes. His ability to make throws and lead an offense remained unchanged over that time period.

The media opinion of Favre's outlook as an impact player this offseason compared to last offseason is way off the mark. He has been undervalued and underappreciated the last few seasons, and this year it appears that opinion about him has swayed too far in the opposite direction.

Really? I want Brett to take the Jets to the Superbowl and lose to the Packers, so we get another Championship and a first round pick from the Jets. Since the compensation scales to how well the Jets do, it seems counterproductive for a Packer fan to want them to fail.

I'll be happy with either situation. I guess I'd rather get a higher pick, but it will still be fun if he falls on his face. I don't think he deserves success.

Sounds like something somebody who got dumped - hard - in a relationship would say.

Which is essentially what the Favre/Packers break up has been like.

Acctually, the more I think about it, I don't care what Favre does, ever. More than anything I like watching Favre lovers squirm. Hell, if not for the emotional paralysis of some, I think I might be seen as a Favre lover because I have been a big fan of his career, but the emotional blindness is so funny that I can't help but get a rise out of it from time to time. I acctually get a kick out of it every day still ;)


Yes, as split as this has made the forum lately I'm not sure there will be any peace in here for a long long long time.

Remember that Marty Morningwhelm video where as a Lions coach he screams to the ref.....That Favre, he's nothing but a Baiter !

You are our PR Baiter trying to stir the hot pot for whoever falls into it

I think he has been doing it now for almost three years.

You are right; I guess this one just seems 5x worse and will undboutely continue for a long time with both QB's playing this year

At the end of March we would have been happy if we found out the Packers were going to get an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick next year for nothing. Plus, the NFL is more interesting because Brett actually went to the right team. We can root for him. ARod was going to get massive attention whether Favre was in the league or not.

I think Brett deserves the vast majority of the blame for what happened.

Let me guess, you never changed your mind, not once in your life. Someday I hope the company you work for pressures you into retirement so they can "move on" with a younger, cheaper, and not as good replacement. I hope the CEO of the company leaks lies about you to the press, lies about you to everyone, and lies to your face. I then hope you try to get unemployment and lose the appeal because someone like you is on the panel...

How did the Jennings vs. Jackson debate come out, btw? :lol:

If you REALLY wanted to start a fight that would lead Mad to lay waste to the lot, we should go back on score the debates in hindsight, like draft classes after year three. Boy would that go over well. :satan:

i believ tonite will b the start of sumthn big. b/c hs's learning a new system , will b playing against diffrent foes, and is displeased that the pack didnt allow him to play with the talent/team he navigated SO well last year, #4 will enjoy this opportunity for a fresh start. like was reported, he's like a rookie and that should be very interesting and motivating for him

shoot, he's don EVRYTHING a hof QB can except go to another team and lead them to respectability

im happy for him and feel that once he settles in (week 3 or 4) he'll impress even the DIE HARD PACKER/TT fan cynics on this forum

i was wondering where all the favre fans were

[boiga]

Brett looked good tonight. They kept it simple for him, but he was on target, read the blitz successfully, and did what was needed to keep moving forward.

The Jets should have a good team this year.

[Brando19]

Brett looked good, indeed.

[The Gunshooter]

It's good to see Rodgers get knocked around a little. It will make him less susceptible to injury later.

Huh?

[imscott72]

Brett looked good yes, but it was very vanilla. I'm anxious to see what happens the first couple weeks of the season. It sure seemed like the whole Jet team was amped up though. Can't help but think Favre's presence has the whole team believing it could happen this year.

[The Leaper]

Yeah...big difference between Favre as a leader and Rodgers as a leader right now. I'm not knocking Rodgers, since he hasn't started a game yet and it will take time and wins for him to garner that leadership quality...but like I've said before, IMO we don't win that Seahawk playoff game last year with Rodgers at QB. The collective belief in Favre in the huddle is a very real factor that we will certainly miss at times in 2008.

He played well like that in spirts throughout the season too - such as games at denver, KC, and the Giants, and who can forget the great game he played against the chargers. I mean, there was nothing like that Snow Game to compare too, but Brett has always said he loves snow games... and it showed.

[Iron Mike]

Brett has always said he loves snow games... and it showed.

Was it snowing in Chicago last year on December 23rd, when he was 17 of 32 for 149 yds, no touchdowns and 2 interceptions? I forget.

It snowed the first 5 minutes of the game... then it stopped and it was just plain cold the entire game.

So, while technically it di dsnow, it wasn't snowing for a majority of the game.

[Scott Campbell]

So as long as it snows the entire game, Brett should be just fine. :lol:

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr., AP Sports Writer



EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Brett Favre was having fun again.

His tearful retirement and tumultuous offseason were tucked away in his memory. Favre was back where he’s always been happiest: in the huddle with thousands of cheers providing a perfect soundtrack.

“It’s like starting all over again,” the New York Jets’ new quarterback said. “I had some feelings that I haven’t felt in 17 years.”

After throwing a touchdown pass to cap his second series against Washington in his Jets debut Saturday night, Favre urged coach Eric Mangini to let him play some more.

“He said, ‘Let me think about it,”’ Favre said. “As he turned away, he turned back and said, ‘I thought about it.”’

Sorry, Brett. You’ll have to wait until next Saturday against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants.

“This is one of those times where everything seemed to be clicking,” Favre said. “We’d like to have scored on the first drive. All in all, it was good. I was OK with it.”

Favre was solid in his brief Jets debut after a week of cramming to learn his new playbook. Just 10 days after being acquired from Green Bay, Favre finished 5-of-6 for 48 yards and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Dustin Keller in a 13-10 loss to the Redskins.

“It worked out better than I thought it would, not that I thought it would go badly,” he said.

Saying it felt “a little weird” wearing a Jets uniform, Favre was on the field for 14 plays and Mangini said the three-time MVP had between 30 and 40 plays to work with.

“I thought I threw the ball well and moved around OK,” Favre said. “Ten days ago, I was doing yard work.”

Favre retired in March and then decided he still wanted to play, leading to a bitter divorce with Green Bay. He said his arm felt tired Wednesday and had his throws limited in his final two practices leading up to the game, but showed no signs of weariness against the Redskins.

“He was the same old Brett,” receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. “Very much in control of the huddle, like he always is, and very much in control of the game. And that allowed us to be in control as an offense, as a unit. We felt like everything that we were going to run was going to work.”

Favre, in his first game since losing to the Giants in the NFC championship in January, got things started quickly. He zipped an 11-yard pass into Cotchery’s hands on his first play, and tossed a 10-yarder to Chris Baker two plays later.

The Jets converted a fourth-and-1 on a 3-yard run by Thomas Jones, but Favre was sacked two plays later. After Favre was short on a pass to Jones, the Jets were forced to punt.

On the next possession, Favre found Cotchery on a nice crossing route for a 19-yard gain on third down. Three plays later, Favre took the snap, looked to his left and found Keller in the end zone to give the Jets a 7-0 lead with 5:25 remaining in the first quarter.

“It was an excellent start,” Mangini said. “He moved the team down the field and put us in a position to score.”

That’s the type of presence Favre brings to a team that hasn’t been to the Super Bowl in 40 years, when Joe Namath—the Jets’ last superstar quarterback— led the franchise to its only title.

“I felt like I’m a Jet, I do,” Favre said. “Does that sound a little awkward or funny? Maybe a little bit. Believe me, I feel very comfortable here. The guys have been great. They’ve welcomed me. … I feel like I’m here for a reason. As I’ve told the guys, ‘I’m here for one reason, to help you win.’ I’ll do whatever that takes and I hope it works out.”

Favre spent the previous 16 seasons with the Packers, becoming an icon with his gritty playmaking ability and rifle right arm. The fans in Green Bay always knew they could count on him to show up on Sundays as Favre has played in a record 253 regular-season games.

His close-cropped hair and the ever-present stubble on his face are speckled with gray these days, but his desire to play football—which some doubted— clearly remains.

Gone are the troubling thoughts that swirled through Favre’s mind, that maybe he made the wrong choice by leaving retirement and Green Bay behind.

“Obviously a lot of things have gone on the last few months,” he said. “I’m not going to sit here and say I haven’t second-guessed decisions, not only this year but along the way. One thing I know for sure, when I stepped on the field, as I did tonight, I knew I made the right decision.”

Favre has been careful to say all the right things since joining the Jets on Aug. 6, guaranteeing nothing except his best effort.

“We’re a team and I’m just one piece of this puzzle,” Favre said. “At some point, we have to go on and focus on what we’re trying to do as a team and not on one person.”

But Favre isn’t just anyone. And his teammates have quickly discovered that.

“He’s definitely much more relaxed than you would think he was,” Keller said. “He has been in this offense for what, a week? As fast as he has been getting everything, it’s ridiculous.”

ESPN giving some great Favre analysis


Thats not possible we all know they are the FOX news of sports, everything they report is Favre propaganda, his stats are slanted to his advantage and they sometimes even Photoshop a polo shirt on him for his postgame presser cause we all know Brett never wore no stinking polos, whats next his grey beard will be digitally enhanced to show no age. Damn those bastards can't they ever report honestly. There have been reports from a handful of people that were not brainwashed during the showing of the Wrangler jean commercial on the the jumbotron that Favre actually didn't complete any passes. Erik Rodgers fro Cali stated that "he was way off on all of them, ESPN doctored the highlights to show those laser shots everyone knows my cousin er I mean most QB's in the NFL have stronger arms than Favre." Another fan Brittney McCarthy from Pittsbugh said "it was quite obvious to me that he has no desire left to play, the way he threw those balls so hard right at the recievers chests he just wants to hurt people so they cut him."

[Pacopete4]

It actually just broke down his 4-5 passes and I thought it was pretty good too.. showed his eyes and how he looked people off and allowed people to break from coverage. He also anticipated the throw and threw it a step before the guy was actually open... very cool to watch when ESPN actually does something right

saturday will be a good test for brett/jets. that giants pass rush really did a number on cleveland (put anderson out with a concussion). madden curse anyone???

jets oline is much better that browns but i think giants are on a mission to quiet the doubters (i cant recall a defending champ being SO overloooked - which is what i think most of the players get off on/chip on shoulder)

osi, et.al are beasts so i believe jets will use bubba and keller (who brett AND the NY media are high on) in two te set to protect our lord Favre...



brett "jokingly" said he hopes GB goes 0-16 lol

This was on page 2, It brought a little tear to my eye.
Posted by teri b:(from the jets forum thread by Mobb)

With Brett Favre, Are People Forgetting a Legend?

I never really understood the word “fickle,” so I finally looked it up in the dictionary:

Fickle: (adj) not constant or loyal.

I don’t think there could have been a more appropriate word to describe the comeback of Brett Favre.

No, I am not referring to Brett Favre himself as being fickle; I am referring to the fans of football, the front office of the Green Bay Packers, and most surprisingly, those diehard Packer fans that donned No. 4 on their backs every Sunday, watching their so-called “hero” give his all to get a victory for, not only his team, but to his fans as well.

Every football fan out there knew Brett was all about the game. You never heard about Brett demanding more money or going to jail—Brett stayed out of the public eye unless it had something to do with the game he loved most.

After Brett Favre retired in March of 2008, football fans everywhere hung their head and showed not only appreciation for one of the league’s most valuable players, but respect. He was a legend, a man in his own league, a man that had so much class and dignity, you could see it through a television screen.

I watched his tearful retirement and got a little teary myself, as I knew that HE knew he wasn’t quite ready to throw in the towel, but he did it because he didn’t know if he could give 100 percent to the Green Bay Packers; let’s face it, 100 percent is the only thing Brett Favre knew how to give.

But could he really let the last play he ever made be an interception?

Some of us might be okay with that being our last play, knowing we would still be going down as one of the greatest QBs of all time, but some of us, most of us, do not have the competitiveness that Favre has.

"Competitiveness alone won't win games, but when someone has some skill and then has competitiveness, they have a chance to be good," Irvin Favre, Brett’s father once said. "I knew Brett had a chance. I just did not know what he would do with it."

Many football fans, mainly GB ones, were irate at Favre for wanting to be traded to the Minnesota Vikings, calling him selfish and a traitor.

Wasn’t it Brett Favre that spoke openly about the Packers being his No. 1 team to play for? So Favre finally spoke out and said, “If you won’t let me play for you, let me play against you.”

Selfish? No. Competitive? Yes. There is a difference. And that difference is what sets him apart from many athletes today.

Brett Favre played 16 seasons with the Packers. During his time in Green Bay, he won three consecutive AP MVP awards—the first and only person in NFL history to do so.

He has led the Packers to 11 postseason appearances, including seven division crowns, four NFC Championship games, two Super Bowls, and he won Super Bowl XXXI. He ranks first all-time with 160 victories, and also in virtually every significant passing category.

Back in March of 2004, Brett was chosen as the No. 1 “Toughest Guy in America” on the basis of his “fearlessness, perseverance, a willingness to take a risk, a tolerance for pain, and even a dash of modesty." That was four years ago, and now people are saying he is “too old to play the game?”

Funny how just a year ago, fans everywhere were singing a different tune.

I wasn’t aware that after retiring, one of the greatest athletes of all time would be ridiculed for wanting to come back and play for the team, the game, and the fans he loved most. Unfortunately, his comeback was not as welcomed as one would have hoped.

He was criticized left and right and was made to feel like more of an inconvenience than a man who dedicated half of his life to the Packers. A man that has started in 253 consecutive games for Green Bay. A man that, learning of his father’s death the night before, took the field and passed for a total of 399 yards and four touchdowns, crediting it all to his Dad:

"I knew that my dad would have wanted me to play," Favre said. "I love him so much, and I love this game. It's meant a great deal to me, to my dad, to my family, and I didn't expect this kind of performance. But I know he was watching tonight."

He is a man who chooses to play with his heart, no matter what the circumstances are, even if it meant walking away from the team he honored more than most of us will ever know.

On Mar. 4, 2008, Favre formally announced his retirement. Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, believed that Favre had not received the impression from the Packers that they wanted him back.

Would he still have retired had he felt different?

I guess we will never know, but what is clear is where the disloyalty came from in the Packers front office: Ted Thompson. Favre released this statement about his former boss:

“It’s hard for me to, you know, trust, you know, this guy when I...either I’m told one thing and everyone else is told another, or he’s telling the public one thing and telling me another. And so...that’s part of the reason for requesting the release. Not only was I told that playing here was not an option, we’re moving on—it’s kind of in their company line, moving on. That’s OK.”

Brett knew he wasn't wanted, so he did what many feared most and filed for reinstatement with the NFL. His petition was soon granted by Commissioner Goodell. Brett was traded to the New York Jets and was no longer a Green Bay Packer.

But, being the class act he is, Favre left Green Bay with these words, "I always wanted to be a Packer," he said. "I think I'll always be a Packer. People will say it was the best 16 years. I think it was made clear this offseason that they were moving forward—that's OK —it's time for me to move forward."

Only time will tell if one of football’s greatest athletes will succeed in New York. It still feels so wrong to be writing Brett Favre and New York Jets in the same sentence. But what feels right is that Brett is on that field again.

He is following the one thing many of us are too scared to follow because of the risk: He is following his heart.

And that is why he will always be a hero. A hero on and off the field and a hero within. Good luck Brett. You truly are an inspiration to athletes everywhere.

I never really understood the word “fickle,” so I finally looked it up in the dictionary:

Fickle: An inability to decide whether or not to retire from pro football. Typical symptoms include wild mood swings and wavering between staying retired or returning to play. Can be aggravated by a middle age crisis, and/or Bus Cook. Known Cure: Take $25M over 10 years and call me in the morning.



Ironically, fickle starts with "F", as in Favre.

I don't mind where you post em, though I may not agree with them.

and I'm always poised to see your reaction 'of course'.


As you should be, you bewildered old coot.

I think you love Favre in large part because it helps fuel your unholy hatred of Ted. It may be better for your tortured soul if you found it in your heart to forgive Ted for whatever despicable act you think he committed, even though you likely hallucinated the entire episode during a moment of severe dementia.

Don't be a hater Woody.

Will be televised on NFL network on Sunday at 3pm Central

Hey Gex.... if you live in Hodag country, you will be happy to know that Channel 7 out of Wausau has just contracted to broadcast 8 or 9 Jets games this year. Our CBS station in GB is doing the same thing...and trying to get more. HUGE demand - which means of course stations start salivating over advertising revenue opportunities for football games and will do whatever they can to get rights to carry them.

I signed up for Direct TV today; the hottie on the other end of the phone noted there has been a huge surge in WI signups for the NFL Package since many Packer fans want to watch the Jets games as well.

You could just download Sopcast and/or TVUPlayer and stream most of the noteworthy games for free to your PC while you watch the Packers or the other noteworthy games too. Pretty good shit for catching all the NFL Network games. Last year, I streamed the Cowboy/GB game with Sopcast off my laptop to my 50" Plasma with a VGA cable to watch with some buddies. Works great and is free. Check it out for all that don't know. :?

Scott your either senile or have a certain inability to discern TRUTH because of your own extreme views and opinions based in you quasi Ultra egomaniacial delutions.

I want Ted Thompson to hang around for awhile, so you and some others here will get a good fill of him. For the upteenth time SCOTT CAMPBELL.

Can YOU read poor man?

I don't hate Scott Campbell. I've discovered in my experience that usually those who accuse others of that ( or hatred) well know what hatred means in their own suffering and guilt. I wish you well with that Scott. Sincerely.

Scratching my head. Shaking my head. :D

The CBS channels in the state can request that the network feed them specific matchups if there is a clear indication that it will boost local viewership. Clearly, Jets games with Favre will do that. For Jets games not on CBS, then it up to the other networks to agree with local affiliates. The CBS guy quoted in the Journal Sentinel said unless there was a conflict on times or the double-header, the requests usually get approved. There probably will be a lot of Jets games all over the state on CBS.

One mention of the fan post from the Jets blog. When people start to believe that they know the inner workings of people's minds and their feelings like they are close, personal friends or family, I think fandom has crossed a line. No one knows whether Favre's intentions are pure or not, nor do they know if Thompson's intentions are despicable or not.

And she certainly should not lump all fans who did not want to see Favre in a Vikings uniform as disloyal. I know loyal Vikings fans who did not want him, so that they didn't have to start to root for him. Treating a celebrity (or even a hero) like he is your best friend and you KNOW him is a little bit sad.

Sometimes Sopcast gets unstable though. I wouldn't want to have to rely on that to see the game. I tried it a few times last year and had some troubles. Sometimes the game listed wasn't the right game or it was choppy or poor quality.

New York Jets' offensive line has tough test against the Giants


HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — With protecting their new quarterback a top priority, the New York Jets' revamped offensive line is looking forward to its next big challenge: the Giants' sack-happy defence.

"I think everybody knows about their front," left guard Alan Faneca said Thursday. "It helped them win the Super Bowl, so it's going to be a good gauge for us."

The Jets, with new additions Faneca and right tackle Damien Woody, are eager to take on a Giants squad that piled up 53 sacks last season and will have its sights set on Brett Favre on Saturday night.

"I try to keep all quarterbacks who are behind me healthy," left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson said. "Obviously, you want to keep that guy healthy as well."

The Giants, with defensive ends Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck leading the way, have firmly established a reputation for dominating quarterbacks. They sacked Tom Brady five times in the Super Bowl victory against New England.

"Their front four is phenomenal," fullback Tony Richardson said. "Any one of those guys could have been right up there for MVP of the Super Bowl. They took over the game."

Coach Eric Mangini was uncertain how much Favre would play, but teams usually leave their starters in the third pre-season game for at least the entire first half.

"It's really going to depend on how many plays we have offensively and how long their first group is in," Mangini said. "It's really hard to say at this point."

Favre looked good in his two series last week in his Jets debut against Washington. He was 5-for-6 for 48 yards and touchdown, and was hoping to see more action Saturday.

"With every pre-season game I've played in, I'd like to play the whole game," Favre said earlier this week. "It's kind of a touchy situation, but based on how much I've played, or haven't played, I would think I would play more."

That would mean more time for the offensive line to make sure the Giants' swarming defence stays away from its rifle-armed 38-year-old quarterback.

"We want to do all the small things right," Woody said. "We want to really be crisp out there for the third game, knowing that we will not likely be out there for the Philly game (next week). This game is going to be as close to a regular-season procedure as possible. We really want to go out there and make a statement."

That's easier said than done against a Giants defence that dominated the Cleveland Browns early in a 37-34 victory Monday night.

"They were really impressive against Cleveland and they have some really good athletes in their front seven," Woody said. "We feel like we're a pretty good group up front, too."

Even before the Jets acquired Favre from Green Bay two weeks ago, the offensive line was considered by many the biggest key to success this season. The Jets got only adequate pass protection for Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens last season, and that also affected the running game.

Promising third-year players Ferguson and centre Nick Mangold, along with veteran guard Brandon Moore, remained from last season's unit. After a botched salary dispute led to left guard Pete Kendall being traded to Washington, the Jets struggled to find a replacement.

So, they headed into free agency targeting the best available at the position. They signed Faneca, a seven-time Pro Bowl performer with Pittsburgh, to a five-year, US$40-million deal - making him the league's highest-paid offensive lineman. They also signed Woody, a former Super Bowl-winning centre with New England, to bolster the right tackle spot.

"I think we have potential and we've laid a really good groundwork here in training camp," Faneca said. "You're starting to see signs, not of life, but things beyond just the X's and O's. It's getting to where you're starting to do some things in some pretty difficult situations and being able to get the blocks."

Favre faced the Giants in the Packers' loss in the NFC championship game and wasn't sacked, but was hurried and felt the pressure in subzero temperatures at Lambeau Field.

"That's over and done with," Favre said. "Obviously, it's a new year. A lot of things have changed. It's a pre-season game for us. I'm not thinking about the past. They're the team to beat in this league. We're just trying to get better this week."

Notes: Wide receiver Laveranues Coles (left leg), who hasn't spoken to the media since the team released Pennington, has been limited in practice. Mangini was unsure if he would play against the Giants. "It's all measured steps," Mangini said. "You don't want to have a setback this late in the process. We'll just see how it is." ... Mangini said defensive end Shaun Ellis (hand) is "getting closer," but didn't know if he'd play this week. ... The game will mark the 40th time the teams have met in the pre-season, with the Jets leading 20-18-1.

I am unable to see the Jets pre-season game tonight, but Favre finished 9/12 98 yds, no TD's no INT's. 3-0 Jets in the 3rd vs the Giants. Sounds like an exciting game!!!

NFL Network will be rebroadcasting this game Sunday at 3 pm CDT

[MJZiggy]

Are they rebroadcasting yesterday's Pack game again? I looked on the schedule but couldn't find it.

A TD was brought back due to a Bubba Franks illegal motion. So he woulda been 10/13 145 yds and 1 TD.

He looked damned good in the NFL.com highlight film.

But A-Rod played very well, too! :oops:

smart move; all about the benjamins....

btw, Lord Favre's all-important passer rating is 118.5 during the all-important pre-season

pennington did well last nite for the phins as well (hopefully he'll toss some balls to the jets out of confusion week 1; cant wait to see THAT game...)

i wonder if mangini will "allow" brett to play a significant amount of time in their last pre-season game vs eagles since he's only played in two so far (in both games he asked coach if he could play more snaps - gotta love that, btw)??!!

that would give the squad more time to gel as well as be a good test vs a good-to-great defense

[MOBB DEEP]

2 hours and 7 minutes....

until jets/giants game on nfl network!!!

im interested in jenkins, etc play on d-line; if they give the O good field position this year....BOOM

Need to get hooked up with Direct TV. With Favre gone I'm not even guaranteed the Packer games will be shown here.......and I want to follow Brett the Jet too!

They said during the rebroadcast on Sunday that he and Reid alraedy had a gentlemans agreement no key starters in the last game Favre will not play. Without the wideouts and o-lines stupid penalties Brett would have had about 90 more yards and a TD and the Jets QB's as a whole would have had an awesome QB rating probably 130. There was one sequence in the second half where there where three falsestarts,illegal motion, and illegal shift penalties in a row. :shock:

yeah, 12 penalties overall and 10 on offense. at least those are "mental" mistakes and not b/c of effort/ability (bubba knows better).

BRETTS been balln and thats w/o any semblance of a running game (jones 12 carries for 29 yrds) and w/o wr coles to help stretch the field. jerricho cotchery is a BEAST like driver


kris jenkins is a MAN on that dline; i think he has sumthn to prove to the naysayers who said he's lost a step (i remember how well he played against pack two and three years ago...) and vernon gholston, although raw, is as athletic as barnnett but stronger


btw, skip bayless thinks #4 will lead jets to a 12-4 record......WHOA!

and even notorious favre basher two live stew's youngest bro retracted his neg comments about brett and says brett's bn playn "like he has somethng to prove" to the pack and others (thats scary for the weak afc east) and that "if anyone could do it, brett can" e.g., that nice 8 yard jaunt for a first down at age 39 - pulled down hard out of bounds but got up quicker than a hi schooler and sprinted back to the huddle...

LETS GOOOOO....!!!

yeah, espnews just reported that mangini is leaning toward sittn brett against eagles. makes sense normally but i would think b/c he only playd in 2 games and he's on new team....

guess staff is satisfied with progresss in camp and with ALL these injuries to key folk around nfl...

so stats are 14-18, 144 pass yards, TD this pre-season

NBC only has the Sunday Night Game. CBS has the AFC. Still, kind of funny - FOX feasted on Favre now CBS can milk 'em until he gets injured. CBS should get Dianna to do another one of those "My Brett..." voice overs that they can run on a continuous loop, like they did during the Monday Night Game v. Denver. That was soooo inspiring - it never got old, trite, boring, or insipid at all.

im surprised b/c mangin could just allow the first team to play 1 quarter as a good tune up. whats this "agreement" with andy reid to not play starters all about? the JESTS should be the coache's main concern and they need to get off to a good start b/c they have pats and chargers week 2 and 3...

I realize CPK didn't commit the spelling error I referred to, but I was pointing out that it does happen to everyone, EVERYONE!!! AHHHHH

You wouldn't take a hand job from Brett Favre?

[mraynrand]

I think Woody may mean CBC as NBC is not allowed to have that many games for one team per NFL rules.

EDIT: Now I think he is full of it as their is no mention of this on NBC Sports' website nor NFL.com

NBC only has the Sunday Night Game. CBS has the AFC. Still, kind of funny - FOX feasted on Favre now CBS can milk 'em until he gets injured. CBS should get Dianna to do another one of those "My Brett..." voice overs that they can run on a continuous loop, like they did during the Monday Night Game v. Denver. That was soooo inspiring - it never got old, trite, boring, or insipid at all.I guess my Woody translating skills are rusty. Even if he means CBS they are carrying 12 of 16 Jets games this year, Favre or no Favre. I really don't know why Woody wasted his time with that post, or why he is acting as if that is big news.

EDIT: By the way Woody it's "Nantz" not "Nance".

I guess if we are being picky, It is Deanna, not Dianna. Get the womans name right.

And What makes you think Favre is going to get injured? madden Cover? I don't even think that curse is strong enough to tackle Favre, but all the doubters we will see won't we, we will see.

I think I googled Deanna's name as Dianna and got a ton of hits - my mistake. Anyway, I have the feeling he is going to get injured because of the off season (lack of) prep. It always seems to get the holdouts at a higher rate, but that's probably a skewed perception because they are under the microscope. Still, the law of averages are against Favre, but his way of playing the game is to his advantage. I certainly hope he DOESN'T get hurt. I love watching him play. Can't stand the fawning over Deanna - and gagged on that treacle they played TWICE on the Denver MNF game.

I liked the video clips an the poem, but I didn't care for it before the game, it was just way to over the top for me, I was thinking that if I was a Denver Bronco fan I would be pissed because all the attention was on Favre. I went back and watched it the day that retired and it meant a lot more then than before the game.

What I liked the best about it thought was Tony Kornheisers(spelling) lead up with the comparison to Jordan and Tiger. I thought that his piece was spot on.

Agree on both.

I really don't know why Woody wasted his time with that post,

So people like you can feel good about themselves for finding something else to bitch about besides ripping on Favre? :roll:

lol

the guys on nfl live agree with me that brett should be allowed to play b/c #4 admits he's not as comfortable with the DENSE playbook as one would like (ALL ABOUT CHEMISTRY too)...

im surprised b/c mangin could just allow the first team to play 1 quarter as a good tune up. whats this "agreement" with andy reid to not play starters all about? the JESTS should be the coache's main concern and they need to get off to a good start b/c they have pats and chargers week 2 and 3...

if they could upset one on those top guns and be 2-1 facing the cards and subsequent weaker teams....tampa here we come!

Why is the playbook so dense? Don't they repeat the same 10 plays over and over?

Haha, beat me to it. Brett still hasn't learned those 10 plays yet?

Thanks GBR...................he still looks pretty good. :wink:

[GrnBay007]

"Pretty good" ??
I'll take your pretty good and raise you 10....lol
:D :twisted:

At first I was really bewildered/hurt by all the Favre bashing I would read before/during/after the trade. To thousands of Packer fans the guy was gold for years and it seemed heartless and cold to me to see some turn their backs on him. Not those that were just ok with moving on and knew it had to happen at some point, but those that attack him relentlessly and try to pretend what he did for the Packer organization over the years meant nothing. Pointing out his flaws, rather than appreciating what he brought to Green Bay. I believe some of those are just plain old assholes and don't really "get it". I believe others, although they may not admit it, are just angry. They are angry that "our" Brett Favre is playing for another team. Nobody EVER thought that would happen. I suppose I could understand some anger if he was playing for an NFC team, but he's not. Some people really need to let it go....be happy reliving the Favre era and the fact he largely contributed to the Packers being a winning organization for years and years. Cherish the memories of games that other QB's would not have won. Hold close to your hearts him going out on that field after his Father passed and giving us the performance of a lifetime.

When I read posts from people downplaying what Brett Favre meant to the Green Bay Packers over the last 16 years and doing nothing but bashing him now, I can only think of one thing....you may be a football fan, but you are surely not a Green Bay Packer fan. To not appreciate everything that man gave to the Packers is just plain old idiotic. If some people post this type of thing in anger, maybe it's time to look inside...let go of the anger, it's not healthy!!

I will always be a Packer fan, but I will still always be a Brett Favre fan as well. I'm wishing the best for him with the Jets!!! Go Packers, Go Brett, Go Jets!!!!

07, you have to remember that the type doing the bashing are on the far reaches of the lunatic fringe. The pitiful few that continue their rant over and over.

As such, their views should not have any impact on you. Rather, they should be marginalized as the "black helicopter" crowd they belong to.

Frankly, I'm embarassed for them when I read some of the garbage they spew.

[Tarlam!]

I think some of the unflattering comments put forward by "bashers" were unkind, made BF fans uncomfortable, but were true none-the-less.

What I have trouble deciphering in this whole discussion is:

1. When is it "respectful critique versus malicous bashing"?
2. When is it "healthy fanhood versus blind whorship"?

I've tried my best to be a healthy fan that will critique with respect and have managed to piss of both camps at different times and on a variety of discussions! :roll:

It's like I have the word antagonist tattooed on my forehead....

[Fritz]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO.....!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOO to a Jets forum. I don't want to read about Favre 38 yr old tired arm! Sounds like your more of a fan of Brett Favre than the Packers.


We can be both

I thought you only liked women who swung both ways!

This isn't hard.

1. Respectful critique: "Favre handled this situation poorly, he's not bigger than the team and shouldn't receive any special treatment."

Malicious bashing: "Favre is a piece of shit, garbage and an asshole."

2. Healthy fanhood is the former in the above scenario. The blind worship crowd I put in the same extremist camp as the malicious bashers.

Speaking of which...I see that Brett's official site now has a Jets forum section in there for new members. Those people would be the blind worship crowd that you refer to. You probably will find the people who were walking around holding "Fire TT now" signs and that 6 year old who was cursing at Aaron, posting over there.

[Harlan Huckleby]

you're the one with anger, dearie. why are you still making these speeches? You call people who criticized Favre's outragous behavior "bashers" and "haters." And you lobbied for Favre to be released rather than traded so he could play for the Vikings and fulfill your need for vengeance.

Let it go - it's not healthy.

It's kinda funny how HH gives me a sermon every time I post anything about Favre. I've noticed that. It's almost like Jr. stalking. :P I think when I post about Favre he gets these deep seeded guilt feelings so he must lash out. It will all be ok HH. 8-)

It was my first chance to have an actual emotional reaction in real time to people representing Favre fandom over the Packers or even over the local HS team. I had heretofore staked out a mildly negative position on the issue, but I hadn't actually seen anybody wearing a Favre/JETS jersey.

Bitter07 made a long speech calling Favre critics assholes & bashers. She capped her comments with some ironic advice for Favre critics to get over their anger. Then the ridiculous claim of victim status, persecution for supporting Favre. :?:

It is September, the Favre trauma is now a month in the past. If Favre fans want to carry on an argument with imaginary "bashers" into winter, and maybe through 2010, 2011, they can continue shadow boxing. And I will call them fools.

I have to admit; I saw the Jets plays the Saints in 1992 (at the Meadows) and Saints won 20-0 in freezing cold NJ. My 3 weeks in NY, NO & Atl was when I really got to know that guy Brett Favre. I was a Packer fan (since 1989) but couldn't get tickets in that pre-internet age. I got my regular Packer Report paper (as it was) in the mail but it wasn't till I saw Brett play on US tv that I knew he was way, way better than my then hero Majik. I went to the US to see 3 NFL games in 1992 with a Falcs fan and a Saints fan; I didn't get to see Packers LIVE till 2006. The oct. 5th game at Lambeau will be my 7th NFL game & 2nd Packers game. Remember, Morten Andersen was playing for the Saints and he is Danish.

So go Jets, I guess, but freakin' Packers4Ever! :pack:

Heh, I got 10 years of the Packer Plus paper stored in a box out in the garage, just couldn't throw them away. One x-mas my girlfriend used some of them for wrapping paper for presents.
I freaked out.
She thought they looked cute.

what do you call this? I call it crap. and why don't you stop lecturing people on the other side of the argument? MOVE ON. Most people are sick of it.

So essentially you're trying to tell 7 what she can and cannot post? Is that really your job here? Can I tell you to stop posting shit? If I do will you listen?

Bitter07 made a long speech calling Favre critics assholes & bashers. She capped her comments with some ironic advice for Favre critics to get over their anger. Then the ridiculous claim of victim status, persecution for supporting Favre. :?:

It is September, the Favre trauma is now a month in the past. If Favre fans want to carry on an argument with imaginary "bashers" into winter, and maybe through 2010, 2011, they can continue shadow boxing. And I will call them fools.

At least Woody is honest and open about his rage.

You know, you are really full of shit. If you don't like what I write, skip it. In the words of skinbasket (and although I don't like to see it repeatedly) go F yourself. .

go F myself? my, my. I think I will not skip it when you whine about the abusive treatment of Favre sniffers, when you're obviously the Keeper of the Revenge. And I'll ignore the snipes by the gents in shining armor who defend you because you're just a girl.

Actually you are one of my favorite people in the forum, my barbs are not a personal thing against you. It's just the matter of Favre where you are whacked out. In the head, to be specific.

You really think that throw to Jennings was a bad read by Rodgers? Watch the replay (on NFL.com). I've watched it a few times, and I'm convinced it's a great read and throw. Notice that he doesn't lead Jennings. If he had, the safety would have had a pick. He threw it to spot between the two players in a window where Jennings could catch. Jennings slowed up to make the catch, and he was off to the races. Yeah, he got lucky that it went for a TD, but it seems like a good read and a great throw to me. Hopefully, he can do that during the regular season.

A thought just popped into my head. Kellen Clemens must be secretly grumbling right about now. He's probably riding the pine till 2010 when they will most likely have drafted another QB to compete with him.

You had me until Madden.

I have a source at PackerChatters, the same one that told Bob McGinn that Favre was using a Packer cellphone, who says Clemens has already been texting Rodgers to see how he got the number one gig.

Apparently its all starts with a lot of meetings after 5:00 PM when senior citizens are usually getting ready to sleep.

I read that Brett Ratliff has had a terrific camp and is making a strong case for the 2 spot.

It wasn't a good read, I guess if you think throwing to a guy that is running his route into a coverage area with two defenders a good read then I hope you never decide to coach high school football much less junior high. He had the tight end with only one safety in coverage coverage and also had Driver up top. If I was the coach I wouldn't say much to Rodgers because he put the throw exactly where he needed to. He took a risk and it paid off.

If Favre made that play everyone would be like "OMG WAT A GREAT THROW!!! BEST EWERR!!!"

Rodgers makes the throw: "Bad read, got lucky."

[Deputy Nutz]

This is a discussion from another thread. I directly compared it to Favre. It was the same type of decision. So before you just entertain yourself with comparisons between Favre critique and Rodgers critique figure out where I am coming from.

Risky Read.

Great throw.

no luck involved.

I disagree--despite your comments that I couldn't be a junior high coach. There was a hole in the coverage between the corner and safety. He hit the hole. If he had lead Jennings into the safety but Jennings made a terrific catch, I might agree with you. He didn't. Why take the dumpoff to the TE when you can have a big gain down the sidelines to your best receiver?
