Packers trade Favre to Jets. I think this deal makes a lot of sense for Favre - the Jets have an awesome chance of finishing second in the AFC east, 5 or 6 games behind these guys.
I haven’t been able to find it in print yet, but on the radio this morning they said that the trade agreement contains a poison pill, whereby if the Jets trade Favre to the Minnesota Vikings, they have to give the Packers three (yes, three) first-round draft choices. If true, that tells you something about how stupid the Packers’ management is. If you think Favre is still good enough to be a threat to you by ending up on another team in your division, then he’s certainly better than your current starting QB who has a grand total of 0.5 meaningful games of NFL experience.
Perhaps…but I think keeping him out of MN is as much a PR thing as an actual competitive advantage kind of thing…
One of the Wisconsinites here at work says that it’s not gotten the attention (because they worship Favre), but he went to McCarthy and basically told him he wanted to play, but felt at this stage in his life he didn’t need to practice every day or watch as much game film every night as he used to.
I don’t know for sure that that’s true because I haven’t read that anywhere, but he sure has been acting like a prima dona lately. I would have put up with some of that though for a year or two in purple.
But maybe T-Jack is ready to step up…
I maintain that Favre practicing one day a week is still probably better than Aaron Rodgers. Oh well - I’m not gonna complain too loud about our arch rivals sending last year’s MVP runner-up to the other conference.
You bringing your Nokona? You ought to…
Yeah, I thought I’d probably throw it in.
Related subject - I was talking to my dad last night, and he said he has two small child life jackets on the boat, but no infant-sized ones.
Alright. I don’t think I’ve got a jacket that will fit Link either, but I don’t know that the boating life is for him any way. The other two have jackets that fit, though I’m not sure how they’ll do on a boat either.
OK - just figured I’d let you know before we got to Middle of Nowhere, WI.
