Favre

I haven't posted an opinion in a while mainly because I just haven't had one. This summer has been pretty slow, the constant Favre watch being evidence of that. I saw Wendy Nix got the short end of the stick by spending days in Green Bay bored to death getting the Packer side of the story. I think Pedro Gomez should feel slighted. By the way, what ever happened to Pedro? Maybe he is still following Bonds around.

The summer saga has finally drawn to a close. Favre will be playing football this year, but not in the familiar Packer Green. The New York Jets have recently gained attention less for their play on the field than the behavior of drunken unruly fans that can't keep their tops on. Men, AND women. With the acquisition of the grizzly veteran, the starving New York media will surely be stirred into a frenzy - not that they need help. They had been struggling to gain attention after the Giants just won the Super Bowl, but the time seems right now that the Yankees and Mets are in third place, and the Knicks stink. The fans have reacted well. Jersey sales have been up.

How good will the Jets beon the field? They were 4-12 last year, and still play in a tough conference. They may finish second in their division behind the Patriots, but ahead of Buffalo and Dolphins. the Steelers, Chargers, and Colts will probably win their divisions. It seems like the Browns, Bengals, Broncos, Jaguars, Titans, and Jets will contend for 2 playoff spots.

At least Jets fans have an optomism now that their quarterback can make a deep out pass.

Appropriate beard of the week.

Yeah, the Jets may finish second in their division, but second in the AFC east shouldn't be too hard. And you're right, they won't be able to compete with those other wild card teams--the AFC is too tough.

On another note, I had a dream last night that I was taking a tour of Lambeau Field and the guide told me that when fans use the bathroom, they take their shoes off first. Needless to say, the bathroom tiles were very clean.

By the way, watching Favre in his press conference pose with his new jersey was like watching a guy reluctantly pose for pictures with some girl at the prom the day after his girlfriend dumped him.
