Farve was supremely selfish, in his final days as a Packer. And that the Jets jettisoned Pennington, and now have nothing to show for it, serves them right. But I would hardly use this as an excuse to take a dig and Alan Faneca. All he ever did was perform wek in and week out at the highest of levels for us, while he was here. And don't forget, the Steelers are the ones who didn't offer him an extension. He would have preferred to re-sign.

Now the question to be asked is, are the Jets in Byron Leftwich's future? I wish Byron well, wherever he end's up. And if it's with the Jets, let hope the Jets get their act together for him.

I find it quite interesting that Pennington experienced a revival in Miami, with not nearly the quality at WR that the Jets have, while the Jets are most certainly going to take a major step back this coming season.

And Farve is going to do what he does...let's just hope this time he means it and will stick to hunting down in Mississippi instead of going back on his word.

Before his death, Howard Cosell always said of the Jets that "they know how to loose." Very prophetic indeed.

Same Old J E T S!!! Will they ever learn that a quick fix spending spree is not the way to an NFL Championship? probably not, as they are stuck in the past, 1968 specifically.

They have not fielded a champion in 40 years and it may another 40 before they do.

Compared to the Steelers, The Organization in the NFL, the Jets are rusted junk just waiting for the scrapper.

Brett Favre, always on the fence about when to end his HOF career, final retires after the Jets bring on Matt Cavanaugh as their QB coach. Coincidence?

Would the Penguins trade for him, if he could score from the wing?

You'd like to think Faneca is kicking himself but his thoughts are probably more along the lines of, "I'm rich. I don't care."

what do you suppose Faneca is thinking right now?

The Jets deserve all that goes wrong from this ordeal. My one hope is that Favre stays retired once and for all. I can't bare have ESPN go all Brett all the time as they did last season.
