Favre to the J-E-TS Jets Jets Jets

Brett Favre is staying in green but moving on to the Big Apple.

The New York Jets obtained the longtime star in a trade according to reports late Wednesday night.

That's a winner for the Jets and the culmination of an offseason revamping of their roster following 2007's disastrous 4-12 campaign.

This, of course, will punch Chad Pennington's ticket out of town, and probably cements the idea that Kellen Clemens just isn't ready to be a starting QB yet, if he ever will be.

It's a good fit for Favre, and it's a good fit for the Jets.

Yes, Eric Mangini was going to go heavy on the run, but you don't pass up Brett Favre when the alternatives are Pennington and Clemens.

The endgame is that the Jets will most certainly be better than the Dolphins and Bills and in contention for a playoff spot in the AFC.

From the Packers' perspective, I think they're just glad not to see #4 on their schedule.

Alas, the drama is over...now back to your regularly-scheduled preseason programming!
