Both the Jets' Brett Favre and the Chargers' Philip Rivers are not going to play in the game because of injuries. Tennessee's Kerry Collins has been named to the roster. Favre was one of three AFC quarterbacks to be named to the Pro Bowl last month. Rivers was the No. 1 alternate. Collins was the No. 2 alternate.Favre's absence was long expected. He ended the season with a shoulder injury. He rare
Hey there friends. What a weekend of football it was this weekend. A 470+ yard passer loses the game, an emotional game for a kicker, a crazy 76 yard field goal attempt, 6 TD tosses in 3 qrts, NFC giants clash in an epic game... I mean, man, was there some good football out there. Let's get to the games I was able to watch.Jets V. Cardinals (56-35)Story of the week, football god, Brett Favre, thro
The Jets, wearing their throwback Titans jerseys, defeated the Arizona Cardinals today at Giants Stadium 56-35. Brett Favre had a career day throwing for six touchdown passes (3 to Coles, 2 to Cotchery, 1 to Keller). The Jets had a commanding 34-0 lead at halftime, but nearly lost it in the third quarter when the [...]
Maybe its the fear of turning 40. Maybe its the feeling of unfinished business. Maybe its the fire in the belly that has not quite extinguished. For retired elite athletes, the itch is always there to make a return after experiencing "life after sport". For some, it becomes too strong to ignore. This year has seen the return of at least three champions, Dara Torres, Lance Armstrong and Brett
Do or Die Time for the Jets This isn't the way it was supposed to go down in New York. The Buffalo Bills weren't supposed to be the ones taking advantage of a suddenly old and quarterback-less New England Patriots team. It was supposed to be the New York Jets. They were like Charles Barkley in a casino this offseason; they just couldn't stop throwing down large chunks of money. All that money was

The weekly NFL picks column is, by far, my favorite column to write. Plus, if I’m writing it, it means there’s real football this Sunday.

Before I begin, as some of you know, I’ve been writing NFL team previews for the last three weeks or so. T
There is no doubt that the Packers just lost their most emblematic player when they delivered Brett Favre to the New York Jets, a team that was urged for a quarterback with the character and the charisma of Joe Namath, and with Favre on their roster, they have improved their odds to win the AFC East from 15/1 to 5/1.But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the road is easy: they are sharing their
I may not be a huge Jets fan. I may actually hate the New York Jets with a passion typically reserved for the Yankees in mid-October. But I can respect a team that looks at a four win season and says, “Wait a minute, that SUCKED!” The Jets have made their move this off-season. Eric “Boy-Belichick” Mangini finally has a roster stocked with a little bit of talent, now it’s time to see what
Well, Brett Favre is officially with the Jets, and it seems like this is a new era for the NY team.

After a very discussed and dramatic feud between NFL team Green Bay Packers and the NFL quarterback. Fox Sports announced that the former Packers player was traded to the New York Jets officially on August 7, 2008.

The NY Jets have now acquired Brett Favre, the quarterback from the Green Bay Packers. The New York Jets have not won a Super Bowl for almost 40 years, so maybe with Favre wearing their Jersey the New York Jets might have some results.

In case you haven't heard, Brett Favre was traded to the New York Jets today for a conditional fourth round draft pick.In my opinion, this immediately elevates the fantasy value of the New York Jets offense.

Brett Favre traded to the Jets seems to be a done deal. Interestingly enough the Jets open their preseason tonight against vaunted Browns.First this means Chad Pennington is done in New York.

I have been really bothered by the coverage of the Brett Favre saga with the Green Bay Packers for a while, but now it's taken on a while new level. The incessant media obsession over this story -- especially on the part of ESPN -- has become really, really annoying.The sports media has treated this story like the O.J. Simpson case, literally, in the mid-1990's. Everyone and anyone who knew the gu
I mentioned at the very end of yesterday's blog post that the NFL season was about to kick off and I left my readers with a resounding "uh-oh". The reason for the "uh-oh" is that my new antenna-only television setup is going to cripple my ability to watch my favorite NFL team, the Green Bay Packers.
You'd think I would be used to not seeing the Packers given that I have lived in Indiana now for a
In most walks of American life, being 39 allows one the luxury of presuming to be young, even with the big 40 looming ever so ominously.
However, for the past 15 years, Brett Favre has worked as a world class athlete in the National Football League (NFL), an industry in which being 39 is a serious offense, one which is rarely tolerated.ShareThis

I have to work a double shift today and I'm back on at 4 but as I flip on the TV for my hour of relaxation all I hear is more Favre talk. So, I'm going to join in just a little more.Everyone continues to use the term "Open Competition". That is unnecessary. If you're like me you don't like bullshit and you can smell political correctness from a mile away. I said it then, and i'll say it now.
Now that Brett Favre has once again milked the media concerning his retirement, or un-retirement, has reported to packer camp. Coach McCarthy issued a statement that they will welcome Brett with open arms and he will be allowed to compete for the starting job.
