Football for Breakfast:
How sad and sordid this whole Brett Favre-Green Bay Packer situation has become.
The he said-he said, the accusations of lying and misrepresentation, and the bitterness reminds me of my divorce (I kid, I kid)...

Favre + Jets = Embarrassing Mistake?
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...
Mike McCarthy’s Press Conference On Hold
Looks like Mike McCarthy's meeting with Brett Favre lasted longer than originally planned. Packer Nation will have to wait at least one more day to find out what will happen with this soap opera. McCarthy promised that the team will be informed before morning practice, but the way this has gone I wouldn't hold my breath.
Originally scheduled for 90 minutes, a meeting between Green...
Troy Aikman Tired Of Brett Favre, Supports Aaron Rodgers
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
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
"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...
Jets and Packers deal - Brett Favre on the Move
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 ...
No-Favre Zone
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 ...
Packers & Brett Favre To Part Ways? - GridironFans.com
Brett Favre's Packers career appears exactly as it has over the last several months, at best in limbo, at worst over. After hours of meetings and few if any details emerging, it now seems less and less likely that Favre will be back on the playing field for the Packers, FOXSports.com has learned. The two sides are expected to meet again in the morning as they try to work toward a...
Vegas thinks Brett Farve is only worth half a game
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...
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. I mean, [...]
Bruce Allen Interview About Brett Favre
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
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...
A Super Hero Clash in St. Louis?
Tomorrow night, Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals welcome Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers into town. It's only the second series for Manny in Dodger-blue, so we're guessing the hoopla and media coverage will still be at max capacity (depending on any 'breaking' Brett Favre discoveries).
Los Angeles is 7-3 in their last 10 and currently sit a game back of the NL West...

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