Favre. How can you not like this mug???

While Brett was holding court with the press after the OT Jets' victory against the Pats Thursday night, Steve Mariucci texts Brett, asking him to join the NFL Network crew on their set. What ensued was a laugh riot. Or maybe it was to only Favre fans. This is the same crew that awarded Brett his FedEx Player of the Year Award last season at the NFL Draft and I laughed my ass off then. They really talked about nothing important - just shot the shit. Rich Eisen and Marshall Faulk are out of view.

Which begs the question: what's not to love when it comes to Brett Favre? Seriously, in 17 years prior to this season, Favre rarely (if ever) got the sort of shitty press he's received since his "divorce" from the Green Bay Packers during the preseason. That PR debacle between Brett and the 3 Wise Monkeys at GB was enough fodder to last Brett the remainder of his career. You can argue there was blame on both sides - fine. But, in the end, as I've said from Day 1, Brett just wanted to play football; he comes back to the Pack; they say the "A-Train" has left the building. End of story.

Jets are 7-3; GB is 4-5. End of story.
