NYC advice for Brett Favre

Found August 07, 2008 on Hard for the Yard:
PLAYERS: Brett Favre,  Brian Brohm,  Matt Flynn
TEAMS: New York Jets

Stay the hell away from the Empire State Building. There's a lot of history but mostly it's an aged dump. Sort of like Yankee Stadium. Don't even bother with the observation deck. I'm sure the view from your penthouse will be even nicer, and you don't have to deal with pesky common folks. You've probably already heard about the best bagels in the world. That it's something in the water that makes 'em so tasty. But let me fill you in on a little secret: They're not all that special. They're for damn sure better than the garbage you'll find at an IHOP in Wisconsin, but they're no different than what you'd find in most any other city worth its cream cheese. Bagels are bagels are bagels. The pizza, though, that's definitely head and shoulders above the rest. But if you're spotted eating a piece, and God forbid you throw even one interception, the tabloids will plaster Fatty Brett photos all over the papers, and you'll be...

  • The New York post is a quality newspaper. I would also recommend having Brett stay a night at the lovely Chelsea hotel. It has great atmosphere, and everyonce in a while hot running water.

  • Uhm, I beg to differ on a number of accounts but I'll choose two to start. Bagels are bagels are bagels couldn't be wrong, wronger, or wrongest. Bagels outside NY suck. I've had them in CA, FL, and WI, and they're awful. Also there is a great German bier garden (Zum Schneider) in Alphabet City, which is close to the Lower East Side.

  • None of those bagel spots you mentioned are on the East Coast. Florida doesn't count. That's the South. Bagels in Philly, for example, taste just as good as those in NYC. There you go, Philly fans. I'm showing y'all some love.

  • I didn't know "most any other city worth its cream cheese" meant East Coast. To be fair, I have never tasted a Philly or DC bagel. But, I remember once eating what was described as a bagel in Boston, but it really was bread with a whole in it.

Favre + Jets = Embarrassing Mistake?

Via hotstovenewyork.com  |  August 07, 2008
Broadway Brett makes for a great story, and the New York Giants must be thrilled to have attention deflected away from their attempt to repeat as Super Bowl champions, but not all Jets fans are thrilled with the move. Hot Stove New York: "The Jets had already spent $141 million during free agency this offseason. Now they add one of the Legends of the game to their roster. Will...

FAVRE!!!!!

Via Legend of Cecilio Guante  |  August 07, 2008
We're giddy. That's the simplest way to describe it. Kid-in-a-candy-store giddy. Stupid sh*t-eating-perma-grin giddy. Walking around fairly ignorant of anything else going on giddy. Here's my morning, for those who care. And apologies for those just stumbling upon this page who aren't aware of my allegiances (which should now be abundantly clear). I am not a morning...

Troy Aikman Tired Of Brett Favre, Supports Aaron Rodgers

Via You Been Blinded  |  August 06, 2008
Brett Favre is done with the Packers and likely headed to Tampa Bay, but it didn’t happen fast enough for former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman. Years of beating Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers on the field apparently weren’t enough for Aikman who sacked Favre during an appearance with the 2 Live Stews radio [...]

Jets and Packers deal - Favre still in Green

Via InGameNow  |  August 06, 2008
Brett going down to finish his career in Florida? Pennington and Clemens fighting for a starting job? NOT A CHANCE! Favre is traded to the Jets and will be the most notable quarterback in Jet green since Broadway Joe!

Gruden On Favre

Via The Pewter Plank  |  August 06, 2008
"I got a lot of phone calls.  I got a lot of messages on my cell phone.  There's a lot of speculation out there.  I don't want to fuel any reports," Gruden said.  "I'll talk to [G.M.] Bruce Allen.  He's not here.  He's in New York for a league meeting.  There is a labor meeting there.  Bruce is the guy you need to talk to.  I've obviously been working with our football team...

No-Favre Zone

Via Arrowhead Addict  |  August 05, 2008
It's pretty clear that Brett Favre won't end up a Chief, and why should he (well, besides the fact that he's a great QB--most of the time)? After all, we already have a country boy with a big arm and questionable decision-making skills, and he's about 15 years younger. Odds ...

Jets and Packers deal - Brett Favre on the Move

Via InGameNow  |  August 07, 2008
The latest reports say that Brett Favre will stay in green. But instead of being in the cheese state, he will move to Broadway. The Jets have traded for the long-time Green Bay quarterback, reportedly giving a single draft pick in return. More to come and contribute to the discussion at ...

ESPN scrambling for Wednesday programming

BRISTOL, CT — With the trade of Brett Favre from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets completed late last night, panic struck at ESPN headquarters. “Boy, was that an unpleasant surprise for the programming people,” said radio host and SportsCenter anchor Scott Van Pelt. “Tough for me too, to be honest.

Vegas thinks Brett Farve is only worth half a game

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  August 07, 2008
Now with Brett Farve finally a New York Jet, we can really look to see what the experts think. And by experts, I mean Vegas. Back in May the 2008 NFL Over/Under Team Totals came out and had the Jets listed at over 7.5 (-150). Now that Farve will be wearing Gang Green's #4, the total moved to over 8 (-155). It's not the full game I expected, but we know Vegas knows numbers better...

Bruce Allen Interview About Brett Favre

Via The Pewter Plank  |  August 07, 2008
By the way…I love Bruce Allen.  Q: How extensive were the talks with the Green Bay Packers? A: I wouldn't classify it as extensive at all. He may have talked to, from what it sound like, every team in the league. By reading all your stuff from the people covering it closely, it's clear they didn't want to send him to any team in the NFC. Q: You had no negotiations whatsoever about...

Kevin Garnett Offers a Lesson to Be Learned

Via Simon On Sports  |  August 07, 2008
Last year when Kevin Garnett was traded to the Celtics I was annoyed for several reasons. One of the major reasons was that I was pissed off that only months prior he basically came out and said he was not interested in playing for the Celtics. And well, why would he have? The Celtics were bad, in order to get him they would have had to give up Jefferson and that would have left...

Troy Aikman Will Not be a Top Seed in ESPN's Who's FAVRE? Tournament

Via JoeSportsFan  |  August 07, 2008
Prior to Brett F***e's trade to the Jets -- a move which Favre accepted after he was persuaded that he'd be "the face of the franchise in the Big Apple" (per Sal Paolantonio) -- Fox's number one football analyst Troy Aikman opined on the drama on the 2 Live Stews radio show Wednesday. Among other things, Aikman stated that Favre flirts with retirement every...

He Didn't Look Too Comfy

Via Simon On Sports  |  August 08, 2008
Last Favre Post of the Week. I Promise.He Didn't Look Too ComfyPerhaps this was to be expected, I mean if you were the face of a franchise for 16 years and people kept on pummeling you with questions about your former team, would you look comfortable. And why wouldn't you feel awkward holding up a green jersey without any yellow. Anyway, it certainly would have felt better as a...

Peyton Manning was ruled out of the second preseason game for the Indianapolis Colts, as he continues to recover from the infected bursa sac he had removed from his knee a couple of weeks ago.
