Ah, the Farve apologist.. You don't think that Jones having an off-day had anything to do with the Dolphins stacking the line and daring Brett to beat them, do you? It was his one bad game all year (and only 10 carries at that).. Favre, on the other hand, had one GOOD game all year.. throw out the 6 TD's against AZ, and he's got 16 tds and 21 ints in 15 games.. bum..

The Jets would not have to forfeit three 1st round picks if they released Brett. The only way the Jets would've had to give Green Bay anything is if they had traded him to Minnesota or Chciago or Detroit before the 2008 season concluded.

Now that we're going into 2009 the Jets can do whatever they'd like with him. Trade him, cut him, force him to retire, WHATEVER. Doesn't matter. Those clauses no longer are in tact.

Sorry, but that wasn't Jones' only bad game of the season, and Favre had more than one good game. I'm not a Favre apologist at all. I've actually never been a fan of his, particularly since he beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to make things up about the guy, pretend he's significantly different than most other players, or deliberately spin everything involving him in as negative a light possible.

Now watch how john madden and chris berman swoop to apologize for favre. Also blame their OC for going shotgun on 3rd and 2

God that game reminds me ofwhat we couldve had if their coaches had pulled their heads out of their ***es

Oh please please please God let Favre try to torque New York around with an "I retire/No I don't" drama in the off-season.... I would LOVE to see the Favre-vs.-NY-Media bloodbath.

Jets have told him to make a decision by the Scouting Combine in February, supposedly. Hopefully this time he sticks to whatever his decision is.

But he IS different than most players, he has his own office so he doesn't have to hang out in the locker room with the rest of the team. LOL.. can you see the Patriots doing that?!?!? Bahahhaha

Hot 97 FM?

Good thing Jets players are throwing others under the bus through rap radio stations.

And it actually feels kind of good knowing some players actually wanted to win that game, regardless of the situation.

Not a lot of running backs can do much with 10 carries, especially not one like Jones. The way the Dolphins were stuffing the run, I don't blame the Jesters for putting in the electric Washington. Things can happen anytime he touches the ball whereas Jones is a between the tackles type runner who takes a little longer to get going.

Even though Favre is hot garbage, this isn't the right way to voice your displeasure.

Imagine if Cassel/Brady had a 3 pick game and Maroney or Morris goes to the media saying they should have been benched. Not only throwing your QB under the bus, but the coaches as well. Now, if Jones truly wants Favre and the coaches gone from the team (which could very well be the case), I see no issue with what he's doing.
