Favre’s Unfamiliar Feelings in New York
Favre addressed the press about some unfamiliar feelings he has about playing in a new stadium, with a new team.
“It’s like starting all over again … I had some feelings that I haven’t felt in 17 years. That’s a good thing … When I stepped on the field as I did tonight, I knew I made the right decision. There’s not too much fun in training camp, offseason workout and things like that. To me, the most important thing is playing. I knew I’d made the right decision when I was on the field tonight …
“I feel like I’m a Jet. I do. It’s still a little bit awkward, but I feel like I’m here for a reason. I told the guys I’m here to help them win.”
Damn straight. Bending the use of the “reasonable person” argument, it wasn’t as if Pennington wasn’t here for the same purpose, it’s just that it seems more realistic with a guy of Favre’s abilities.

The local free paper, AM New York, has a weekly write-in contest. A picture is provided and readers are encouraged to provide the verbal caption with the photograph. This week’s contest was a picture of Favre speaking to Clemens. The winning caption:
“Does the playbook have pass plays for more than 30 yards now that Chad is gone?”
I’m shocked that one unnamed Favre hater/Chad brown nose hasn’t replied to that already zenlaw.
To him I say:
“You’re so vain; I bet you think this blog is about you.”
RK- Now I can’t get that f-ing song out of my head. Thanks a lot.
Well…I changed the lyrics so maybe that will break the mental chain.
Maybe another hit of hers to be sung by some adoring fans to Favre:
“Nobody does it better. Makes me feel sad for the rest.”
We’ll see. It looks like I was wrong about his commitment which I thought was most of the problem with him coming here.
Chad was a great Jet QB. How soon we forget.
Favre, on the other hand, could be phenomenal this year. I was hoping that the first play would be a laser beam to Cotchery and, wouldn’t you know, he fired it in there, right out of the gate. The TD to Keller was too easy for him. Tell me you didn’t love it, when Faneca nailed Jason Taylor into the ground. The coaches are going to have some very tough cuts, when it comes to WR’s, RB’s, & TE’s. It is that depth that makes me feel that, if Favre stays healthy, our offense is going to be outstanding. Favre can make a strong statement, about why he came out of retirement, with this Offensive team. As far as his being unfamiliar with New York, as soon as he tears up the Patriot secondary, in game two, he will own New York.
