Famous Geoff Jenkins Look-alike Traded to NY Jets

According to Rotoworld, citing FoxSports' Jay Glazer, the Packers traded that Brett Favre guy to the Jets, probably for a draft pick. I had forgotten: Favre's $100 million contract doesn't expire until 2011.

Oh Brett!

I am glad that this whole saga is finally over with, for our Packers and for Brett. It is time to move on. I am so proud to say that I will forever be a fan of Brett Favre, even despite this turn of events. Since my parents are season ticket holders I have been watching Brett since I was a little kid and he has given me so many AWESOME times and memories, I can’t even name them all. At the same time I cannot blame the team for wanting to move on and I am really impressed that they stuck to their guns and went through with all of this. I thought when he showed up at camp it was game over and he was back as our starter, boy was i wrong.

Thank you Brett for so many great years and the best of luck to you in New York!!!

Sorry I don’t know how to do the fancy links, but enjoy!!

I may throw up a little bit in my mouth when I see him in another uniform. But i’m glad it’s over. I’ll be a Jets fan till they play the Packers. I see why both sides did what they did, but it’s a shame it ended this way.

Thank G-d

I was getting really tired of the Santa Claus-ian footage of Brett’s every move. I liked him before all this dramatic crapola started, but now I’m not so sure. At least Aaron Rodgers gets treated fairly.

Too bad

I was hoping he’d go to a team that had #4 already retired just because it’d be funny, but then I learned only the Giants have retired that number.

I've been a Jets fan

since I was a little kid (no real reason, just happened) along with the Packers, so I feel happy and sad. He’s better than anyone the Jets had, so it’s great for them, but bad for the Packers and the NFL in general. Favre kinda seems like a headcase nowadays, but I still hope he does great. And we all know he still has to go into the Hall Of Fame as a Packer still. At least John Madden can continue to get on his man-crush with Favre. Maybe he knew something when he put him on the cover of Madden 09…....

This simutax makes me feel like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain!

I wonder if Favre being traded counts as part of the Madden curse?

The Madden people have to be thrilled to have a guy on the cover who is playing for a different team. Think they’ll try to change it before it gets released?

Nah

They’re actually using it to their advantage – it’s the last cover that he’ll be in a Packers uniform for so it’ll be a special thing…

assuming he’ll play well enough in the future to be on another cover

SportsCenter

said that they will have a free cover you can download with Brett the Jet. And they will have a free download to add him to the game as a Jet. Packers fans should not use the download because then we can have him in video game land for one more year.

No.

Do the Brewers get any sandwich picks out of this?

Sandwich pickles?
