Brett Favre Traded To Jets

the Brett Favre era in Green Bay ended today, as he was traded to the N.Y. Jets. at least he'll still be wearing green.

i don't think so. the Jets were in need of a QB bad, and i can't see them giving him up unless he retires (again) or gets carted off the field.

He should have stayed in GB if he truly played just for the love of the game. He won't look right wearing any other color and he will not be remembered as fondly as if he had stuck with GB regardless of how his career ends..

Hey....The guy is a Football Player and he wants to play Football, he doesn't want to sit on a bench and watch, he is too much of a competitor for that to happen.

I saw this happen with Joe Montanna at the end of his career, sad to see them spend their last couple years with a struggling team but at least they get to go out doing what they love....playing the game

In the end he will still be remembered as a Packer and he will always be green at heart no matter where he ends up

Yeah but if the Jets trade him to the Vikings they have to give Green Bay THREE 1st round draft picks !!! So, I think GB covered their rear ends as far as Brett going to the Vikings...

Montana did make the playoffs with the Chiefs. I just don't see Favre taking the Jets anywhere close to the playoffs. ( unless he buys them all a ticket to get into the game)

yeah and i think that is total crap!!!! another team controlling a third party's intrest in a commodity (spl).....thats like me saying I'll sell you my truck but if you sell it to this person that I dont like then you owe me an extra 5,000 bux. You own the the truck you'd sell it to who ever you want right?

Well being a diehard Packer fan I completely disagree Ted Thompson EGO has completely got in the way of Favre ever playing in GB, he wanted to PLAY there not sit on the bench, the fact that they were making him compete for his job was the biggest slap in the face and while he'll be missed I dont blame in for wanting to get out.
And hear this if the Jets and/or Favre tear it up this year and Arron Rodgers does poor, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson will be tar and feather then hung off of Lambeau field, or at least fired

AMEN to that!

The other funny thing about the whole deal with Favre, is that folks are acting like he is the first big sports star to "retire" and come back! What's up with all that?

So true....... And you KNOW Brett is determined to show they made a mistake no matter where he ends up!.....Never know, he just might have the best season of his career, he has proven in the past that adversity makes him play better.

I am not a Packers fan, never have been...But the way Brett plays with 110% of his heart on every play, I can't help but admire him and what he has accomplished. He is FOOTBALL!
