Brett Favre jets to New Jersey

Well, isn't this interesting.

Overnight the New Jersey Jets went from an afterthought to a potential force in the upcoming National Football League team. Hiring arguably the best quarterback ever will do that to you.

The Brett Favre un-retirement saga has been one of the great distractions of the past month or so, and few people saw it ending with Favre going from the littlest town in the NFL to the biggest city — or at least across the river from the biggest city.

I hope it all ends up well for everyone. I hear many people are ready to string up Packers management and predicting a lousy year for the hometown kids, but I understand that this time last year, many people were ready to string up Packers management and predicting a lousy year, and then the hometown kids went 14-4 and lost in the playoffs only to the eventual Super Bowl champion New Jersey Giants.

The schedule says the Packers won't play the Jets this year unless they meet in the Super Bowl. Now THAT would be an interesting finish.
