The Jets Just Became MY #2 Team

[Chevelle2]

Obviously on Sundays I always tune into Fox, which carried the NFC mostly, but I never paid much attention to what AFC team was playing on CBS.

Do you think that WI will be carrying the Jets games on CBS this year? I mean, there really isn't an AFC team that is "local" for us, so wouldn't they think by carrying the Jets games in WI it would be good for market share and good advertising opportunities?

Local WI TV isn't that intelligent. They show the shittiest games aside from the Packers.

I think the Jets just moved up about 20 slots on the pecking order for NAtional TV coverage.

The local station doesn't get "choice". They are given a game based on a formula approved by some "powers that be".

And, the Packers moved down about 20 spots too.

When the TV schedules came out, nobody thought Favre was going to be playing anywhere this season. Yet the Packers still wound up with 3 nationally televised games, including the very first MNF game of the season. I think the nation still loves us a little.

I already hate the Patriots, so having Brett play them twice a year with a chance to beat their cheating asses is fine with me.

Ditto here; I loathe the Cheaters. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS! I wish Favre the best and Packers bringing back the Lombardi Trophy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Favre will be 39 soon. He was showing some hints of decline last year. Great regular season, but some loss of intensity in big games.

The dream had to end soon regardless of how this saga played out.

Ya, Steve DeBerg played competently until he was about 57. But only competently.

How long we continue to be "loved" a little is in direct proportion to how "right" the Tedster was and how well A-Rod performs... For the better part of 16 years nationally televised games were to a certain extent a "guarantee". Those days are gone. Time will tell whether or not we get them back.

3 for this year was one better than I thought they'd get, I'll give you that, but don't tell me someone wasn't "hedging their bets" in case Favre came back...

A little less attention now that Favre is gone, but we're still a marquee franchise in this league. Times have changed since the Dark Ages of 25-30 years ago. The NFL is a different league, and interest in the Packers has grown considerably. Unless we are the most pathetic franchise in the league for about 20 years, we won't be ignored.

Favre was on the team in 2006, but we didn't get one Monday Night Football game. That's because we sucked in 2005.

You could be right. Or they could be like me and are dying to see what the new kid can do with a very talented offense. I mean, think about it. Don't you wanna see?

[Maxie the Taxi]

The Packers have a large nationwide network of fans. Doesn't that have something to do with it?

We are Packer fans.

Most of the rest of the nation is not.

Yeah...but it is ignorant to not admit that Brett Favre drew plenty of national interest on his own even from non-Packer fans. He was a huge draw...any legendary QB is.
