Huh??? 31-17, does that sound familiar? That was the score of last years Superbowl. That's 31 for New Orleans, 17 for Indy. Brett Favre played for neither team. He played for the Vikings last year, who lost to the Saints in the NFC Champ. game. Farve had nothing to do with the SB, except for maybe buying a ticket and a beer and enjoying a great game. Just wanted to bring you up to speed.
Brett Favre will no doubt be a Hall of Famer. He'll join Bart Starr from the Packers, Fran Tarkenton from the Vikings and Joe Namath from the Jets, all teams for whom Farve has played . I don't think I'd want them coming in off the bench if my quarterback went down either..
You say Favre never wanted to be a Jet. I guess he was kidnapped in the middle of the night, dressed in green and white and shoved out on the turf. Probably not.
Favre came to the Meadowlands on his own free will and played his heart out. He just didn't have the skills or the supporting cast to get the job done. He played heroically is spite of injury but, bottom line, he didn't help the Jets. Favre even admitted recently that his reason for playing for the Jets was that he thought he could help them. Never once did he mentioned the kidnapping you are obviously referring to. Nor did he mention or imply that he quit because he didn't want to be there.
RG, if you read any of my posts you should realize that I'm a football fan. Jets fan? You betcha but you can't root for the humble Jets for many years without being a fan of the game. I can and do appreciate greatness on either side of the ball. Do I talk smack, yep, it's something I look forward to each season. Please notice though, I never attack an opposing fan. I never call a fan a name. The banter goes back and forth and we leave the bar friends whoever wins. Personal attacks are not appreciated.
