Favre throws Jets under the bus

Old No. 4 (you remember him, don't do?) didn't do the Jets any favors today when he suggested that his legendary right arm was in such bad shape at the end of last season that he should've been benched.

Brett Favre, speaking in his weekly news conference in Minnesota, said the Jets knew during the season that his right biceps tendon was torn. Reading Favre's quotes, it sounds like he wanted to sit down, but that the coaches and front office pushed him into playing.

This is a serious charge by Favre. He never was listed on the injury report by the Jets. (Gee, what a surprise, considering secretive Eric Mangini, who won't even reveal his starting QB in Cleveland, was in charge.) The league has strict rules on injury reports, and commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't like deception. That is a serious injury for a quarterback, and he's basically saying the Jets covered it up.

This topic came up today in Minnesota because reporters were asking Favre about his Iron Man streak of 269 consecutive starts and whether he'd be receptive to sitting if he got banged up.

"Absolutely. I was receptive to (sitting) last year," Favre said. "When we finally did an MRI and found out I had a torn biceps last year, I felt like, with about four or five games left, that even though I was making some pretty good throws and some decent plays, I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

Bullshit, he just started playing like poo in the latter half as usual and was fortunate enough to have an injury come up to blame it on. How do we know he didn't injure it in the last game of the season after he already started his annual late season downward spiral. this guy is a fuging clown shoe, an A-1 me-first gimme gimme assclown. "I would've sat" bullshit Favre, bullshit.

Naturally he HAS to say this right before a Mangini coached team is playing them even though it happened 10+ months ago. He is a self centered sack of sh**.

:yesnod:

You do have to wonder about the timing. He had countless interviews that I saw where the subject of his declining performance was questioned. He would dodge it.

I used to be a big supporter but now he is turning into some kind of media hound. Faveruh suxxors!

He's gonna bring Chilly down too which I will love watching.

Favre is one of the biggest examples in NFL history of the emperor with no clothes.

Will the media and other knob slobbers EVER see through this guy? Nope.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
