I think that Favre is done. He had a great season last year and was still having a lot of fun when the season ended. This year he didn't have nearly as much fun, and he ended the season in disgrace. Also, I think he's physically not able to do it. His arm just can't last a whole season anymore. He'll keep the Jets dangling for awhile, but that's because he thinks he was rushed into making a decision last year. But at the end, they'll be talking to Mike Shanahan and telling themselves that boy weren't they lucky that they got rid of a quarterback who took a 1-15 team to the playoffs only to throw 7 interceptions in the first playoff game while they hunt for a new quarterback.
Much more interestingly is that Matt Cassel is a free agent. Rumor has it that the pretty Brady boy isn't going to be at 100 percent at the beginning of the season due to a fucked up couple of surgeries that are going to have to be redone. (Though he looked fine on SNL last night.) So is New England fucked with a thrid stringer until Brady gets his ass fixed up? Where does Cassel go? And for how much? He took the team to 11-5, though couldn't get them into the playoffs. Was that all the support he had from the rest of the team, or was he good enough to take that somewhere else? Detroit? The Jets? Kansas City?
