Our Long National Nightmare Is Over
Brett Favre to the Jets for a probable fourth round pick, and we can all get on with our lives.
The Jets get a guy with an actual arm, and it's not like they were all that concerned with the future of Kellen Clemens, or the present of Chad Pennington. The Packers move him to a place where he'll never trouble them again. As for Favre, he'll see what it's like when the home crowd doesn't excuse your mistakes, and your skill players aren't all that great.
I'm thinking he plays for two years, and the Jets go .500, just because the division's not that good and, all foibles aside, he's still a capable quarterback. But mercy, he's going to take a lot of punishment, and adjusting to the quirky way that Eric Mangini does things doesn't sound like the way I'd like spend my 17th NFL season.

He's got less than a month to learn a new offense, new teammates, a new coaching staff and a new city that happens to feature some the rudest and most impatient fans in the NFL. Their schedule is relatively easy, but I won't be shocked if the Jets are 4-12 again this year.
Oops, that was me. As if it could have been anybody else.
