Packers trade Favre to Jets

[Wretched Excess]

sort of surprising . . . I would have thought the bucs would nab him.

Packers trade Favre to Jets

The Brett Favre era in Green Bay is now officially over. But Favre's legendary career is not.

The month-long saga has finally come to an end, with the Packers agreeing to trade their future Hall-of-Fame quarterback to the New York Jets.

The Packers confirmed the trade Wednesday night in a press release.

"Brett has had a long and storied career in Green Bay, and the Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for everything he accomplished," the team said in the release. "It is with some sadness that we make this announcement, but also with the desire for certainty that will allow us to move the team and organization forward in the most positive way possible."

The exact compensation was not immediately known, but it is believed to be a single draft pick that increases in value depending upon how the Jets perform during the 2008 season.

"I am looking forward to seeing Brett Favre in a New York Jets uniform," Jets Chairman and CEO Woody Johnson said in a statement released by the team. "He represents a significant addition to this franchise, and reflects our commitment to putting the best possible product on the field."

I don't pay attention to professional sports and the NFL, but this whole thing comes off as embarassing.

Favre should have thought this out a little better.

I think it's a little presumptuous of any of us to pretend as though we know the whole story.  jus' sayin' :innocent:

[Rebel]

He's heading to Tampa. Our local talk show host today had a VERY good source that said he was on a plane heading to Florida.

BTW, the Packer management just pissed off their entire fan base.

[THA HOUSTON PIMP IS IN DA HOUZ!]

The New York media is going to be brutal on Favre.

I hope he realizes what he's gotten himself into.

He should have stayed retired.

[BlueStateSaint]

I think that Favre's arm will be worth at least one additional W for the Jets, probably against the Bills.

wow...

the Jets schedule is definitly their friend this season too..

they have only 4 games that they have a 90%, or more, chance of losing

2 against the Pats

1 against the Chargers in san diego

1 against Seattle in seattle

all the rest they have a shot in ... oakland, denver, miami, bills, cincy, titans (which will be tough), KC , AZ

the strength of your out of division schedule every year depends on your record the year before, and they were 4-12.

[Uhhuh35]

the strength of your out of division schedule every year depends on your record the year before, and they were 4-12.

Is that still true? I thought a team was scheduled against an entire division in the other conference. Example: Baltimore Ravens (AFC) would play all the teams in the NFC North as well as their own division.

yep...

and the matchups for this season were picked years ago & the pats are  playing the same teams the jets are (as far as their AFC west matchups), cept the Pats got Indy whereas as the Jets get Cincy as far as their 'midwest' matchups ...

what the NFL manipulates season to season & even during the season, is homefield advantages, early/late games, bye weeks, road/home games & amount of time between games (specially important ones)

for instance the  past 3 seasons the colts got to play ALL tough games  cept for one, either at home or w/ at least 7-14 days rest ....

sure tEh colts played tough teams, but teams like the Jags, Titans were scheduled to their own disadvantage EVERY time while facing the colts (either short rest &/or playing a tough road game the week before their game against the  colts)

this season, the teams the Pats are playing don't have good records, but, the NFL, just like last year, has done their best to give the Pats a MEANINGLESS bye week, scheduled ALL of their toughest games on the road & given them alot of night games....

that makes it tougher than on the surface...

as bud grant used to say... "in the NFL, its not who you play, as much as WHEN you play them"...
