Brett Favre is retiring 'again'. He instructed his agent to contact the NY Jets organization and inform them of his plans. Good, now maybe the NFL and ESPN can move past the "Favre Era." Can you tell how sad this makes me?
Check out what Favre had to say: In an email to ESPN's Ed Werder, Favre indicated he had no regrets about finishing his career with the Jets rather than with the Green Bay Packers franchise he represented for his previous 16 NFL seasons. He specifically praised Tannenbaum, Jets owner Woody Johnson and fired coach Eric Mangini _ and even mentioned Thomas Jones and Kerry Rhodes, both of whom were publicly critical of Favre after the team's collapse in the final month of the season prevented the Jets from making the playoffs.
"Mike and Woody, as well as the entire organization, have been nothing short of outstanding," Favre said in the email. "My teammates_Thomas and Kerry included_were a pleasure to play with. Eric (Mangini) could not have been any better. I enjoyed playing for him. My time with the Jets was short, but I'm honored to be given that chance."
It's time for a new chapter in Jets history.

Gee I hope he's serious this time. I got sick and damn tired of the week-long coverage they gave him last year when he "retired" and the month-long media circus when he wanted to return. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's for good this time. I was positive when he left Green Bay, he would be back but after the way he played at the end of the season, I knew it. I told my husband that his days a football player were numbered. And while I love be some country ass Favre, Im sick of seeing this coverage and they just learned this yesterday morning!!! This is all I've been seeing on NFL network and I like to watch the Top 10's and replay games...this is just a mess. I need for them to let him retire in peace lol.
ReplyDelete& congrats to Troy! Now that's noteworthy news. I heard Solomon and that other guy on NFL Network mention this last week and there's been no more talks..this is what you cover. lol
