Interesting Point of view from John Clayton

Packers 1, Favre 0

 

[RightIsWrong]

I wonder how quickly the fans and media will turn on him if he sucks the first couple of weeks b/c of having to learn a new playbook and getting used to new teammates?

About 10 seconds

Actually I hope the Jets win it all now.

Make all those Packer Fans and Green Bay numbnuts totally jealous they will all choke on their cheeseheads.

it was basically the whole offseason that we heard nothing about the NFL other than favre.

Favre is probably my favorite player but he really should have stayed retired. I hate the Jets... They don't suck as much as the Bucs but still...

 

[amdhunter]

LOL, more than once today I have heard people proclaim him as Jet Favre at work... Man, I hope he wins the Superbowl this year. Jet Favre is just too catchy.

No, the past few weeks have been nothing but Favre. Since retiring it was quiet for awhile....

Jets are playing the Browns tonight and they've scheduled a 6pm press conferrence.

The Pack is holding a press conference now and it sounds like a bunch of CYA going on between the execs so far.

Just got this email from the NFL.

Jets Fans Get #4 Favre Jerseys click here <http://NFLshop.rsys1.net/servl...ipDYxPHohhQJhuVaVR> .



Pennington scheduled to be cut at 4pm. Whispers that the Dolphins (with Parcells that drafted him) have already contacted Pennington's agent.

News from EA:

Madden 09 will still be shipping as scheduled. There will be a downloadable cover you can print out that will have Favre in a Jets jersey and a new downloaded roster will be ready so you can have Favre on the Jets in game.

Edit: Local sports schmoe just said Favre would be at the Jets conference which will be held in Cleveland.

When he was healthy, he wasn't a bad QB. Smart & very accurate, just not the strongest arm. Kinda like Jeff Garcia.

Conference just started with Favre holding up a #4 Jersey.

He's already in the game as a FA actually.
Maybe the Madden curse will come through and he will break his legs

The Jets are already staring to see the financial side of the trade. The Jets merchandise website yesterday went down due to traffic demand with a large number Favre jerseys being ordered.

I'd like to see the numbers on the Jets fans (or any other team for that matter) that laughed and mocked Favre in the years past about how he should retire and hang it up, and are now buying his jersey.

 

[lupi]

Favre is getting a NYC welcoming ceremony right now from Bloomberg. Expected to participate in Jets practice tomorrow for the first time.

And opening day sales figures.....


In the first 24 hours after Brett Favre's trade to the Jets was announced, more than 6,500 Favre jerseys for his new team were ordered on NFL.com. According to an NFL spokesman, this isn't just an unprecedented level of sales for a single player -- it breaks the single-day sales mark for all of NFL.com.


At $80 a pop that's a cool half a million+ on day 1.

 

[lupi]

Mangini has announced that Favre will be the starter for 2nd preseason game.


Here's some reports from his first practice

"Hey, he can zip it now," said wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who did extra hand strengthening exercises before practice. "All the rumors about him throwing hard, yeah, they're true."

Favre worked mostly with the first-team offense, and his every completion was cheered by the estimated crowd of 10,500 delirious fans -- over 8,000 more than the Jets usually draw to practice at Hofstra University.

Found this on Break. Normally, I would say its fake but knowing how obsessed Packer fans are I can see it being real. She definitely looks like a Wisconsinite. Wisconsin pretty as we like to say.
