Blame the Wildcat: Favre Is a Wide Receiver and Fisher Is Skydiving...And McNabb Is Benched
Brett Favre learned everything he knows about playing wide receiver from an instructional book written in an obsolete vernacular. And for some reason Jeff Fisher decided to make his arrival at Friday's practice via parachute. Both teams have added field goals since we last checked in, making the score 13-3 in favor of the Jets. Thanks, once again, to Christmas Ape for the images. Continue after the jump for the rest of the scores. More »

Brett Favre, ESPN, Jay Glazer and You
Brett Favre finally addressed the issues surrounding the Jay Glazer report about whether or not he shared offensive secrets with the Lions prior to the Packers game. As you may have heard: Glazer broke the story, ESPN sends out standard memo instructing its Bristol army NOT TO REPORT THAT STORY, and questions pop up as to whether the WWL is installing a company-wide anti-Glazer policy for the sake of Chris Mortensen's fragile ego or if Favre is sour-grape sabotaging his former team.

Favre-Packers Divorce Is Getting Downright Messy
So do you have a problem that you would like Brett Favre to solve? Girlfriend trouble? Confused about which laundry detergent to buy? Hang by your phone, and Brett will be with you momentarily. But first he has to solve the problems of the NFL, like advising Tony Romo on whether or not he should play with a broken pinkie. Also there's this little matter of Favre calling the Detroit Lions and advising them on how to beat the Packers. That was a cold-blooded, Ari Gold-like move to be sure. More »

Thank You Brett Favre, For Teaching Us How To Laugh Once Again
Oh Brett Favre, you and your playful, backwoods prankster antics. In what passes as high-concept comedy in Mississippi and certain portions of Wisconsin, Favre pulled the hilarious gag of leaving a dead animal he had shot in the locker of a Jets teammate. Of course this hasn't been considered original since Davy Crockett did it while a member of Congress, but that didn't stop our non-retired hero. More »

And Now You Get To Share Your Opinion About Comment Threading During Your Usual Monday Night Football Yelling Session
It's amazing that the soothsayers at ESPN actually picked the Jets to be featured on a Monday Night Football gameh so early in the season. Now, they can capitalize on Brett Favre's national unveiling as a New York Jet and beat that storyline into the ground until viewers collectively turn the volume down or bash their heads through their television screens. Which member of the yap-heavy MNF team will spontaneously combust with excitement after Favre throws his first touchdown pass? Kornheiser might have to be slipped a little Ativan before kickoff.

Aaron Rodgers And His Formidable Proboscis Are Warmly Embraced And Introduced To The World
No, it wasn't a spectacular debut, but it at least it temporarily put some of the skepticism about the transition to rest. The most often used adjective to describe Rodgers 18-of-22 178 yard one touchdown performance he also scored on a rushing touchdown) was "efficient." But the Packers at least proved that the Vikings vaunted defense is penetrable with a game plan, which should make the NFC North a lot more interesting this year.
