Link: Glauber Inserts Space-Time Continuum Into Brett’s Statements
To go further on Favre’s statements from yesterday, Newsday’s Bob Glauber commented on Brett Favre’s words about his shoulder injury last season and the mustache twirlers (mwah hah ha!!) in New York that forced him continue to play last season against his will:
Hmmm.
Late in the season,Favre made a point of saying he wasn’t going to get an MRI until AFTER the season, even though he felt discomfort in his throwing arm. During one mid-week press conference, Favre dropped a hint that he wouldn’t know what was really bothering him until after the season, when he got his exit physical. I remember asking whether he wanted to have an MRI sooner than that, and he said he did not, preferring to just get through the season before having the exam.
Is it possible Favre actually did have the MRI before then and knew exactly what was wrong? Sure. But he sounded unequivocal at the time, and only after his exit physical was taken was it revealed that he’d been playing with a torn biceps.
So either he was lying then or lying now. My fervent wish is that he is misremembering, because then the Jets would be off the hook for any possible discipline, but since Eric Mangini is so ridiculous when it comes to withholding information (like … who his current starting QB is) I wouldn’t put it past him to pull a stupid stunt like this for basically no gain.

Tannebaum admits it’s true. Once again I am embarrassed to be a Jets fan. What is this organization doing.

Mangini named their QB (Quinn), but now won’t name the starting center. Belichick lite to the extreme.
