Oh My

I just heard on ESPN Radio that Brett Favre has been traded to the Jets for a pepperoni pizza and sack of bagels. This disturbs me because I live and die with the Bills. Mostly I die. Time to give back at least one of the wins I was counting on. Blah.

I'm torn on the whole idea of Favre unretiring. On one hand I'm happy that he wants to come back and play because he has been one of the few true tough guys in the league the past decade who played the game the right way. On the other hand I am disappointed by the way things have gone down the past few weeks. Maybe he shouldn't have been so quick to retire? Maybe the Packers shouldn't have demanded an answer so quickly? It is going to be odd seeing Favre in the wrong uniform this year. It's too bad the Packers don't have the Jets on their schedule this year. I'd really like to see that game.

Wrong shade of green, man. It's just so wrong.

At least he's coming back because he wants to play. He turned down a lot of money that GB offered him to stay at home. How does GB justify getting rid of him? Whaddya bet Rodgers goes down for the season by Week 3?

There must have been some kind of annointing of Rodgers in the off season. GB was pretty much screwed no matter what they decided, I think. This pretty much sets up Rodgers to fail. If he gets hurt, the team will get blasted, and if the team doesn't go 12 and 4 he'll get booed. I guess we'll see what kind of fans the cheeseheads are.
