Say It Ain't So, Brett, Say It Ain't So!

MJ KasprzakOct 20, 2008

Sunday, I watched my favourite quarterback of all-time play in a different uniform against the Oakland Raiders, my first game at the Oakland Coliseum. It was a weird sight; he did not play well, his team lost in overtime, and I went home disappointed.

Now a story has been broken by Jay Glazer that Favre gave inside secrets to division rival Detroit. Favre has denied this report, and it is important not to convict him without more substantial evidence.

However, I have decided I would even rather have an Al Davis team succeed than a Brett Favre team because I believe the report. Why? Because it is consistent with his actions during this divorce, many of which I have reported on previously.

If my personal belief on this matter is true, the Jets can have him. Anyone who would do this to his former fans and teammates is a piece of...Let's go with work.

Besides, now they have to deal with him arrogantly forcing the ball into coverage when it will take points off the board for his team or put them on the board for his opposition, like he did late in the second quarter against one of the league's worst teams. Now they can deal with a guy who is more concerned about other teams' quarterbacks or gameplans than his own.

This last week, he obviously should have been preparing for the Raiders since he had a passer rating lower than 50 in the game. Instead, he called Tony Romo to "encourage" him while back-handedly questioning Romo's toughness by suggesting he would play with the broken pinky.

Now we hear that in Week Two, when he barely knew the Jets' playbook, he spent over an hour trying to help a former foe beat a former team. Perhaps had he prepared for the game ahead of him that they should have won thanks to getting to play a team without Tom Brady, they could have asserted themselves as the team to beat in the AFC East.

Instead, he "led" his offense to just 10 points and threw a key interception that helped solidify the loss. Aaron Rodgers threw for 147 more yards, two more touchdowns, and one less interception that week, despite Favre's "help."

Of course, Favre showed typical bad judgment in two ways. He chose to help the Lions, a team that did not have the ability to beat the Packers anyway. And he did so the week of playing the biggest game to date as a Jet, against the complex schemes Bill Belichick is known for.

Have fun watching a player who puts himself above the team, Jets fans. I wash my hands of him—I'm not even sure it would bother me if he went into the Hall of Fame as a Jet.
