Brett the Jet
The trade has finally happened. Brett Favre is out of Green Bay and into New York. Count me as one of the skeptics who thinks this won’t make the Jets any better. Don’t get me wrong, I do think the Jets will have a better season than last year, but not because of Brett Favre. One man does not a team make. Especially in football. You’re telling me 1 player out of 50 will have that big of an impact? I understand, it’s the quarterback, the most important position on the football field. But, c’mon. Michael Jordan was 20% of the starting team in Washington, and he couldn’t do it. Why should I believe an aging all-star will have any different effect in football? He will sell more tickets, and the team will be better. But they would have been better with Chad Pennington, too.
