BREAKING: Brett Favre Traded to Jets, Madden '09 Officially Screwed

104
QUOTE:
It has just been reported that Brett Favre has been traded by the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets. Mr. "I'm retired…wait no I'm not" has been at the center of a media circus lately with his highly publicized feud with Green Bay management. EA gave the cursed cover spot to Brett to honor contribution to football and memorialize his retirement. Well, those plans have clearly changed and now they are stuck with their cover of an unretired Brett in a Packers uniform.

1.5 - The Jets had a pretty bad record last year...
lets see if Brett's appearence and possible influence can lead them into at least the top AFC playoff games this coming year.

Cotchery, Coles, and Thomas are just as good as Driver, Jennings, and Grant. If Bret Farve starts they will be in good shape to get a spot in the wildcard.

Two things I hate, EA and Brett Favre!!!

Brett Favre will exposed for the horrible interception throwing bumm he is. He'll never learn the new playbook and time and falter under the preasure that is NY. That is why Green Bay sent him there because they know what a fool he'll make himself to be there!

I am glad somebody recognizes Brett and his interceptions....He reminds me, and I say this as a UNC alumni, of Tyler Hansborough........he makes a lot poor decisions, but they work out for him. For instance, the Monday night game after his dad died.......he threw some of the worst balls......but it was his receivers that went out and got them for him. That is why he wanted Randy Dandy Moss.........cause he knows that he can throw any garbage his way and Moss will come away with it.

there was a trade rumor, or something, where they were talking about what would happen if the Jets traded Favre to the Minnesota Vikings. It could happen that way. Which in turn, would still help out Green Bay by giving them draft picks.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just seen more about Favre going to Minnesota, and if that happened the Jets would hafta give the Packers Three(3) 1st round picks, and that's not going to happen.. unless say the Vikings had a LOT to give up.

I can see the Jets doing that. But Green Bay wouldn't ever directly give Favre to their hated rival like that. That would be as bad as when Boston gave Babe Ruth to New York.

Not to mention Minnesota is in their division. So there is almost no way in hell Green Bay would directly give Favre to the Vikings

4.3 - This is true
But we've seen the Jets attempt to adjust their O-line for a few seasons now. So that's basically hit or miss. But at least they aren't as bad as the Raider's O-line. Try to run an offense and see how many times you go 3 and out lol

Yea, I hear ya. But, I'm pretty sure their O-Line will be good this year. They have solid players, four(4) of which were 1st round picks at one point(which, may mean nothing, though. Lol.). And, they also have a solid WR in Laverneus(sp?) Coles. Who's there RB, though.. I can't think of who it is?

4.5 - I think Thomas jones is their RB
But I'm not sure if he was just a one year thing.

And yeah they have Lavernus Coles. But what annoys me is that they could have still had Coles AND Santana Moss. But no, the go and give up Coles to the Redskins. And to get Coles back, they had to give the skins Santana Moss. Sometimes their management just baffles me

Apperantly, an insect. It's also a name for a sport wherein you hit a ball with a wooden stick.

Cricket came WAY before baseball hence Baseball is a wannabe cricket, oh ya it takes real men to play cricket, you can take steroids in cricket because it requires LONG Lasting energy. (Well unless you are playing 20-20 matches). Baseball and Cricket only have one thing in common hitting the ball.

9.1 - He shouldn't have retired in the first place tbh...
I understand why you'd want to end on a high note, but he had an amazing season with a young team. They would have been even better this year if he stayed with it for one more year.

The packers didn't really have a choice though. Like they've been saying for weeks, they already moved on. As much as they probably would have loved him to go on another season, they already put too much work into changing the team to just have him pop back a week before camp starts.
