BREAKING: Favre to the J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JUSTFUCKINGSTOP!
Think the media have coddled your every misstep throughout your career, do you Brett? Well they have. But that was the national media. The New York media are going to chew you a new asshole, one so reamed and misshapen that Peter King will only penetrate it out of a sense of duty.
Oh yeah, and you have to play against Randy Moss’ team twice a year. More time to bellyache to your GM for not signing him!

As a Saints fan, let me be the first to voice my disapproval of this trade.
More than anyone I know of, I was looking forward to seeing Brett Favre come to Buccaneers training camp and attempt to learn Jon Gruden’s extensive playbook in only a matter of weeks before the season opener against the Saints…only to chuck the playbook aside with a hearty, “Fuck it, you know where it’s going,” before lobbing bombs to old-ass Joey Galloway.
Shit, even Jason David could have seen those passes coming!!

favre might live in jersey, same state as everyones favorite favre loverboy peter king
I am guessing my states gaytastic factor is about to go up, and I just hope the prince of hillbillies (favre) doesn’t move to my nice quiet suburb

They just had to trade that pill-popping jackbag to my favorite team. why won’t he let me get maximum enjoyment from football?
August 7th, 2008 at 1:11 am
As a Panthers fan, I’m torn. I didn’t want Favre to come into my division and rock his shit out. However, if Favre went to the Bucs and fucking sucked, I’d have been all for that.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:18 am
As a packer fan, I love this trade.
Loved watching him play for all 16 years, but when he made it so obvious that he didn’t want to be here deal his ass.
My favorite part is that Farve would have stayed with Moss around, and all that would have taken a year ago was a third round pick. That pick was too big to give up, but Thompson tossed him on his gunslingin’, swashbucklin’, lawn-mower riding ass for a fourth.

@289,
That horrendous amout of media attention is offset in my mind by the fact that we will soon see his decline front and center courtesy of the east coast sports bias.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:52 am
That picture’s wrong. It looks like The Favraro is about to loose the handle on the football before he throws it. Everyone knows The Farvin8r’s favourite turnover technique is the stupid pass into tight double coverage.
I hope Marc Gastineau comes out of retirement long enough to go Gillooly on Favre’s hick knee. And takes out Strahan while he’s at it.

August 7th, 2008 at 3:01 am
95.7 passer rating for 07. I can’t name a single player on the Packers offense…
ok, i looked. Donald driver had 1000+ receiving. They had a running back who almost got 1000 yards, grant.
Favre threw for over 4000 yards. Look at the other 4000 yard performances in football history…big name backs and big name receivers. Favre threw the ball around to everybody.
the last time he threw better than a 95.0 was 96, the year he won the superbowl.
bottom line on what to expect?
plays 2 fantastic games, suck eggs in 1. it averages out to 10.6 wins a season…(career 139!-103, 57.4%.)
Pennington to Miami…
August 7th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Fuck NY. They’re lucky to have him. And I pity Ted Thomson. After Rodgers goes down with a knee injury in the second game of the season, they’ll be begging the Jets for Favre back. Biggest suck of this is Brett going to the Jets, the toilet city and team of the NFL….
August 7th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Look at Favre’s three seasons before last year. Was ‘08 a “resurgence” or an aberrration ? Remember, he was SUCKING v Dallas before going down. (And A-Roger looked a LOT better against the Cowboys).
August 7th, 2008 at 3:32 am
38 come from behind wins…
2007 SI Sportsmen of the Year.
GB didn’t just lose a washed out QB, they dropped a proven winner at arguably the peak of his game, by last years stats, and said,
‘let’s go with this guy, he’s never won a game, but he was here for all the spring meetings. Surely we can dump the nfl’s most proven player, for the future of the franchise.’
this was the cutting off one’s nose, to spite their own face.
I’m pulling my Tuna/Vinny era jets gear out of the closet, hope the cat hasn’t peed on that.
August 7th, 2008 at 3:36 am
tyler-
one game, that was a blow-out, and aaron rodgers is the second coming of, say, Brett Favre?
160 wins favre? 13 wins in 07 Favre?
August 7th, 2008 at 3:56 am
did I mention that 160 wins is
12 more than Elway,
13 more than Marino,
35 more than Tarkenton,
41-Johnny U
43-Montana
AND 55 more than manning, who would have to play five more seasons with an average of 11 per season, just to catch Favre current victory number?
everytime he wins, jets fans watch a guy walking into football immortality-they can say, when they win, that they watched the greatest qb in the history of football play for their team. Manning will never catch him, unless he can stay healthy for the next six years. Tom Brady? He’s only 74 behind, 6+ years of 12 win seasons.
There will never be another quarterback who will win more games than he has already achieved.

August 7th, 2008 at 7:29 am
When Drew first started using the “Fuck you Brett Favre” tag I was a little offended being a lifelong Packers fan. But as time went along I found myself agreeing more and more with it. Especially over the last media fellating Brett month. Hell Favre even managed to piss off my dad, and that’s saying something.
I laughed this morning when I found out Favre was going to the Jets. I think he will be just good enough to keep things going adn get the Jets to the playoffs, but watch out for the juicy pick in the first round. What makes it even better is that it wasn’t where he wanted to go. Awesome.
Rodgers may break a femur getting off the shitter, but I don’t think the Packers will be begging for Favre back. Fuck you Brett Favre.
August 7th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Things I must know now:
a. Will he think the offer I made to him to sleep in Mary Beth’s old room a little creepy?
b. Will he snuggle with me at night?
c. Will his snorring keep me awake at night.
d. Will my selection of flavored lubricants apease him?

August 7th, 2008 at 8:00 am
As a Jets fan, I’m torn. I couldn’t STAND ESPN being a reality show for Farve all this time. I found it unnecessary to hear breaking news about him whipping his ass. Then this trade happens, and I’m like “So…can we get a little more info on this guy?”
And I’m sure King and Madden will have to watch the Pats vs. Jets games from the hospital bed. The week long build up for each game will give them each multiple heart attacks and a boner that viagra users could only dream of. Brady AND Farve in the same game? Fuggedaboutit
August 7th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Wow mark l., I didn’t know that wins were a sole function of the quarterback and not a team stat. Wow, thanks for dropping the knowledge on us.
PS, Favraro had 29 INTs in ‘05 and had as many TD passes as INTs in ‘06
PPS, Greg Jennings, Bubba Franks, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver and Donald Lee
PPPS, Donald Driver went to the Pro Bowl last year

I used to love watching Brett Favre play, I always thought of him as just one of the guys and the epitomy of a professional athlete. Now he is just another whiny professional athlete who thinks he is bigger than the game. Sadly i hope he sucks in NY and the media rip the crap out of him and maybe he will retire for good this time and fuck off
August 7th, 2008 at 8:09 am
So my husband wakes me up with breakfast in bed this morning. Champagne and everystuff. Befuddled, I asked what the occasion was, and he sang:
“Buh-Buh-Buh-Bretty and the Jets!” And we feasted on fresh fruit and champagne.
Fuck you, Brett Favre. Have fun in Jersey.

August 7th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Any word on how Chris Baker is going to take his impending slotting down on the depth chart in favor of off-season acquisition Bubba Franks?
Plus, How is Favre going to decide which reciever to throw in to double coverage to when their all so damned short?
August 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Being that the decision was made to justify existence through throwing stats around, I looked up the active passer rating leaders. Farve comes in number 15, just behind Marmalard, Hasselbeck and McNabb, and just ahead of Jake Delhomme and Brian Griese. I also think he’s number one all-time in some other stat that’s not so good…
With Brett Farve, the stats argument is ultimately as ill-conceived as, well, as a Brett Farve pass.
I’m taking this especially hard. I just moved from the Midwest to NYC, and was really looking forward to not having to deal with Farve-related BS all year.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Who’s Brett Favre?
August 7th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Mark l., if you’re not a Jets fan and you actually own or have ever owned any “Jets gear”…well, that’s just sad.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:48 am
So Pennington as a Waiverwire pick-up for the Vikes then?
August 7th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Well done, Ted Thompson.
Not only did he ship his whiny-ass over the hill QB to the garbage dump of the AFC, he managed to fleece the Jets out of at least a 4th round pick.
@Jets fans –
Do you guys really think that Favre is going to make a difference? So maybe you go 3-3 in the division instead of 2-4? You’re 9-7 and miss the playoffs instead of 6-10 and miss the playoffs?
@mark l.
The Colts have won 12+ games for the last five years. Manning has stated he’d like to retire after 18 years. He just finished his 10th season. So, with a current win total of 105, and assuming the Colts continue their trend of winning a minimum of 12 games per season, Manning would retire with a minimum of 201 wins. Favre would need 40 more wins, or 2.5 more consecutive perfect seasons, to match Manning’s hypothetical career total. I should note that Favre has had 7 more years than Manning in his career, and Manning is already at #8 on the all-time wins list. Brady is tied for 24th.
Manning has thrown 306 TDs so far in his career, averaging about 30 a year. Average that out across the remainder of his career, and he’ll retire with 551, 59 more than Favre has now.
Manning is on pace to throw for about 75,000 yards, or 14,000 yards more than Favre has now.
The only record Favre might keep is the career interceptions record. Manning is on pace to throw 275 INTs, versus Favre’s 288.
Manning would need about 6 seasons to match up to Favre’s games started total. Again, well within his 8 remaining year time frame.
My point? Favre isn’t as good as you think he is. He’s a good QB, but Manning is a great one. In 8 years, when he retires (and he will; there won’t be any of this will he/won’t he bullcrap), he’ll be #1 on every records list for a QB, save interceptions. And hey, I wouldn’t even mind if he had that one too. Not only that, but he’s going to put some of these records so far out of reach, they might never be broken.
/blatant Colts Homerism
August 7th, 2008 at 9:24 am
It always seems that Super Bowl wins are how QBs are measured (at least that’s why Marino always has a pistol in his mouth). So here is a list of Favre’s contemporaries and how he matches up.
Favre (1), Peyton Manning (1), Eli Manning (1), Ben Rongrastname (1), Tom Brady (3), Brad Johnson (1), Trent Dilfer (1) and Kurt Warner (1)
Using the arguement of numbers, it appears Favre is no better than QBs like Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, brother Eli and Rongrastname, and without all those pesky INTs.

1) Can’t wait to watch his eyes well up when he is on his ass after a REAL sack! Gotta imagine he isn’t exactly used to learning new offenses and schemes…since he has been prom king for so long in GB,
2) When Pennington goes to Vikes and does a better job…not saying absolutely, but could happen! Sweet if it did!
3) Biggest piss me off: when I heard Brett was pissed because he thought Thompson and McCarthy got extensions based on his play last year —> NOT FAIR according to Bretty boy. Hey ASSWIPE: Mike Sherman got his ass fired because of you, you turd brain.
August 7th, 2008 at 9:45 am
i’m gonna be sad to see him go. he used to be so good, and he was such a help to our team whenever he played. he was always able to throw to our guys, especially on that game 2-3 days before christmas of last season. when he wasnt playing with us, our team just seemed bad, but thankfully we had his help to make us look great.

August 7th, 2008 at 10:01 am
I just hope this move doesn’t tarnish his legacy. In my view he already went out on top, throwing an interception in overtime in the NFC championship game. I’d hate to see him go to the Jets and not throw more beautiful picks each week.

August 7th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Its amazing how the madden curse affects the season that HASN’T STARTED YET. As a resident of green bay, its quite sad how everyone around here is such a favre cocksucker. I am not a sports fan, but I am amused by the suicidal tendencies of this population after hearing the team would slide back into Majikowski-era football of 3-13 seasons (or however many are played each season.) There is a lot of good shit in green bay, and also a lot of yokels. It would be nice to stab some of these people in the eyes and tell them there is more to life than football and the packers, although I honestly do not think that would help. Oh well..favre has been done for years. I’ll always argue that no matter what a quarterback’s stats are, if you do not help your team win the games that count, it was all for shit. For that reason, even Warner > Marino in my book. The quarterback is the leader, and if you don’t lead, what the fuck good are you? I’ll enjoy watching a washed-up quarterback out in NY throwing INTs for another team. Like one poster said, I thought brett favre was classy, the professional…but it turns out he is just a whiny douchebag. Hope the money was worth it, brett, because this will be a long season for you, especially watching Brady stick his supermodel-fucking cock in you twice this season. Hate Brady all you want, the man wins games. Lastly, fuck brett favre. fuck him in his stupid ass.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
thanks for the dissertation, professor deez.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
“Mark l., if you’re not a Jets fan and you actually own or have ever owned any “Jets gear”…well, that’s just sad.”
I follow coaches. They are responsible for the selecting of the team and the playbook. I’ve seen a million great players(yes- manning is one the all time greats) end their careers in one play…never saw a coach die on the sideline.
“The Colts have won 12+ games for the last five years. Manning has stated he’d like to retire after 18 years.”
so since Manning has declared he will play for 18 years, it must be so…
Favre has these things called mobility, accuracy, and arm strength…still has em…
“Mark L. got AIDS from Brett Favre’s jelly rope.”
speaking of the jelly rope, did you know that brett favre’s pubes are actually a salt and pepper version of green and white…well maybe the green was gonnorhea…and the white is just shoeing his age, but they are still the jets colors.
Is he the biggest drama queen? At least since eric dickerson.
as for the general player hating-what do you hate more-the GB franchise or BF?
that’s like saying you hate a player on the yankees more than the franchise…favre is the franchise.
take a look at payroll…
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/teamSalary?categoryId=67065
packers were 29th, or spent 84 million.
the colts?11th, with 106 million.
colts 13-3 get a bye and lose in their first game…
gb 13-3 gets a bye and wins, but then loses in ot to the eventual superbowl champion…
gosh Favre must really suck to have won 13 games…
donald driver a game breaker, based on the nfc chmapionship game?
how many 100+ yard receiving games did he have in 2007 regular season? 2. 2 out of 16…
in 13% of the games he plays, he will break 100 yards…
the game before the NYG game, v. seattle, he had 18 yards and the pack still won?
August 7th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
as far as the super bowl comparison…
” So here is a list of Favre’s contemporaries and how he matches up.
Favre (1), Peyton Manning (1), Eli Manning (1), Ben Rongrastname (1), Tom Brady (3), Brad Johnson (1), Trent Dilfer (1) and Kurt Warner (1)”
it is a statisitc for one game…
is Phill Simms the most accurate quarteback ever, becuase he went 22 for 25(or whatever)?
is Kurt Warner the greatest distance thrower for 414 yards?
Steve Young the greatest TD thrower for 6 touchdowns in a game?
Troy Aikamn for his 70% completion % in three games?
John elway sucks becuase he has thrown 8 interceptions in his superbowls?
terry bradshaw and joe montana have both won 4 superbowls…are they the greatest quarterbacks?
August 7th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
“PS, Favraro had 29 INTs in ‘05 and had as many TD passes as INTs in ‘06″
yes, he is an interception machine…
tom Brady from 2001-2006 had 147 TD to 78 ints. 1.88 td/int.
Brett favre- 2001-2006 159 tds to 116 ints… 1.37 td/int.
exclude his ‘one’ bad year, 2005, and he goes to 1.6 td/int. His career number are actually lower at 1.55 td/int, when compared to his good 5 of the past six years.
the years discussed are comparing a team that won the superbowl in half the range, to a team that was still adrift, and couldn’r boast a constiently great defense.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
one other point, about mannings, eli and peyton, and favre…
If I held a gun to your head and asked you tell me which one is popping roids with no abandon…make your pick.
I honestly think that eli and favre are clean, but peyton looks more like the michelin man meets terrell owens…
It’s not a bad thing, his job is to stay alive and avoid hitting people…if science can give him a boost against defensive players who are using the same products…by all means continue.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Except that Tawmmy Brady is like 30, and Favraro is 39. Who’s more likely to trend downwards?
August 7th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
All of you saying negative shit are arrogant and need lives
Favre is clearly the best quarterback in the NFL to date… look at the record books
dumb asses… i dont know what is wrong with some of you you sound stupid
August 7th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
tom brady is an exceptional qb, who is entering his prime, after having won 3 superbowls and throwing for 50 tds in a season.
unfortunately his muscle, ligaments, tendons, and bones are all subject to damage as are favre’s. At present, there appears to be no distinguishing between which one will fall apart first.
If I’m a gm, I get favre for the simple fact that your contract is 2-3 with far less risk than having to sign a tom brady to a 10 year deal…while there may be some drop off in talent, you can upgrade at wr or ol…
another finaical bonus-do you have to provide more competent protection for a guy like Favre, even at his age, or buy to protect the asset of Brady?
PS-Isn’t Tom Brady gay?

“…Bill Belichick woke up giggling this morning and he didn’t even know why.”
must have dreamed he was coaching the giants in superbowl 42.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Pats are on a downslide. No more easy cheatin’. Brady can’t pass if the defense blitzes. It’s a gamble, but one that paid off for the Giants. Brady is 31, and Moss is even older. Belicheat and his tendencies are well known by now, AND his team is older and more susceptible to injuries.
Jets look mighty fine. You can’t win with just a great QB, but it’s needed to contend in the playoffs. GB? They want to be like Buffalo or Detroit. Each decade brings on the upside, 4 wins a season, and on the downside only 1. No expectation of winning, a place where JP Losman or Kitna is considered “a great” QB and there’s always the possibility of a reverse perfect season — 16 losses no wins! That was the whole point of trading Favre. Get rid of the expectation of winning. Aaron Rodgers is the answer if the question is “how do I as GM and/or Coach avoid having to work too hard and win?”
Jets will probably win a few games they shouldn’t, on Favre’s gambling, and lose a few they shouldn’t, same reason. Probably a 10-12 win season, playoffs, AFC championship. I honestly don’t think the Patsies will be that good. Historically Superbowl losers fall apart.
August 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
