Maybe we were wrong, but we doubt it

By Duke Casanova on Nov 14, 2008, 12:09 pm

Oh man.

That Brett Favre is something, isn’t he?

Color us unconvinced, even now. And conflicted, as Jets fans and Favre haters.

We think we might be starting to come around if it weren’t for Favre’s sideline nonsense that the NFL Network kept cutting to. Jets score to make a 17-6 lead a 23-6 one? Favre carries on like he’s just been anointed Pope.

Granted, that touchdown ended up meaning a lot more than anyone thought it would because the Jets are the Jets and they had to do their best to blow that one. But Favre came through. Brett Favre. That guy.

The Nooner has made no pretenses about its transfixion with Favre all season, and it’s not about to end now. He provides endless comedy with his “Aw, shucks, I just chuck it” mentality and down-home American vanity.

And now he sometimes provides Jets victories, and for that we have to be thankful.

But we’re still going with the wait-and-see approach. Until the Jets win their ninth game of the season, ensuring that they can’t finish 8-8, they’re the Same Old Jets.

We feel like Randy Quaid in Major League.

Wild Thing, you move me.

The Late Friday Morning (cuz I drank too much during the Jets game) Fix

Favre leads Jets to statement win over Pats in OT; Quarterback on pace to annihilate single season record for most tears shed in post game press conferences (record currently held by Brett Favre- 1996, 2007).

Yanks aquire Swisher from White Sox; Outfielder’s .219 batting average adds welcome consistency in center field over Melky Cabrera (who is good for 7 homers in the first 8 games, then hitting with Helen Keller-like efficiency) and Brett Gardner (who is a terror on the basepaths, but apparently can only hit for an average of .003).

Video of Jordan losing to mutual fund CEO in one-on-one game surfaces;  Embarrassing loss evidently what forced Jordan, an avid gambler, into position of manager of basketball operations for Bobcats (had Jordan won, opponent would have had to eat his jock strap circa 8 Crazy Nights).

Jerry Jones certain the Cowboys will make the playoffs; Dead serious look on his face shows conviction… or fear… or sadness…. it’s hard to say really.  Regardless, he looks curiously good for his age right?
