Brett Favre is trading the gold for the white and is on way to the Jets! Currently, Brett Favre has not signed off on the trade, so it is not official. Also, the Jets need to make some moves to fit Favre's $12 million contract within their salary cap. It seems for all intensive purposes that these things are just formalities at this point.
While many people are sick of the daily Favre updates, you can hardly put the blame on him. Yes, he changed his mind. Get over it, people do it all the time. The media totally blew it out of proportion. Maybe the folks at ESPN took a vacation this summer and it is all Stuart Scott could come up with on his own. The Packers management did not help the situation either. Maybe if they would have kept their mouths shut when the questions rolled in, the media would not have been like parasites on their every word. The management obviously feels like they have something to prove with Aaron Rodgers. It is like Ted Thompson has a man-crush on Rodgers since he was his first. It seems odd because the management should be about winning and to do that you want the best players at each position. Well, for my love of the Packers, I hope that the irrational thinking of the Thompson/McCarthy duo pans out for the team.
Maybe this is something others do not understand because the Packers do not have an owner. The team has always been portrayed to us cheeseheads as "our" team. Well, there are not many of "us" that would have ran Favre out of town. From the time I was old enough to watch TV, we watched the Packers every Sunday, even in the Majkowski years. It is just what my family did, it is what everyone I know did for as long as I can remember. The last time I cheered for the Packers without Favre at quarterback I was fresh out of grade school. I will be 30 in a few months, so to me that is a long time.
Well as an era in Green Bay ends, hopefully a new one begins for Brett Favre with the Jets. It is funny, for the last year, I have been telling Rusty that I want to be a Jets fan and now I have a reason. I happen to enjoy the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets cheer! I hope that Favre fits into Mangenius' plan to dethrone the Patriots in quest for world domination.

You and Vinny are twins
I blame Ted Thompson! He's gotta get Rodgers on the field before his contract expires. You can't be a 1st round pick and never start a game, can you? I still love Favre on the Packers, on the Jets, gold jacket, green jacket who gives a shit! Long live the greatest QB ever! No Jen not Marino.
I hate Stewart Scott! Now that that's out of the way. I agree who cares that he changed his mind I do it all the time! Sorry Lettie but i can't route for the Farve less packers this yr. But i agree with Vinny when i say long live the greatest qb ever! It will be hard to see him on another team! But I'll get over it!
I love Favre where ever he goes. But I still love the Packers.. have since the 60s.
Collette,
It was so nice talking to you last week. I hope that your class is going well and that you're wedding plans are coming along. You'll have to keep me updated.
Hope that Rusty made it home safely from Eastern Oregon.
Love ya,
Erica
