We finally have some people who are not as easily fooled as Green Bay:

Favre gets ripped by Jets teammates


Posted: 01/01/2009 08:43:59 PM PST


Team owner Woody Johnson has stated clearly that he wants Brett Favre to be the New York Jets' quarterback next season, but some players seem to be bristling at the thought, ESPN.com reported.

Days after the Jets' 1-4 finish left them out of the playoffs and helped trigger Eric Mangini's firing as coach, running back Thomas Jones blasted Favre's final-game performance and seemed to suggest the QB's play � nine interceptions and only two touchdown passes in the final five games � called for his benching.

"We're a team and we win together ... but at the same time, you can't turn the ball over and expect to win," Jones said in an interview Tuesday with New York Hot 97-FM. Favre threw three interceptions in the Jets' season-ending 24-17 loss to Miami that clinched the AFC East for the Dolphins.

"The other day, the three interceptions really hurt us. I mean, that's just reality," Jones told the radio station. "If I were to sit here and say, 'Oh, man, it's OK,' that's not reality. ... I don't like it, I know everybody else on the team doesn't like it. ... If somebody is not playing well, they need to come out of the game."

The Jets today will conduct their first interviews with potential successors to Mangini, starting with internal candidates Brian Schottenheimer (offensive coordinator) and Bill Callahan (assistant head coach/offense), who once coached the Raiders.

A veteran Jets player, quoted
anonymously by Newsday, described Favre as a "distant" teammate who, when at the Jets' practice facility, spent his down time away from teammates in an office specially designated for him.

"There was a lot of resentment in the (locker) room about him. He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone," the player told Newsday.

Broncos: The first two candidates who will interview for Denver's head coaching vacancy are New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary coach Raheem Morris, team spokesman Patrick Smyth said.

Browns: As its courtship with Scott Pioli continued, Cleveland postponed an interview with Atlanta president Rich McKay for the GM job and talked to Spagnuolo about the head coaching position.

Vikings: Minnesota defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is scheduled to interview with the Detroit Lions next week and is also believed to be a potential candidate for the St. Louis Rams' head coaching job.

Sad, Farve should have stayed in retirement. He made a good go of it, but took a hell of a gamble on coming back.

Well he is a gunslinger, known for fitting balls into tight windows at impossible angles...maybes it him!

They should never have got rid of Pennington in retrospect. Favre is not a good QB. Still good enough to be an NFL starter probably, but that says more about the quality(difficulty) of (being an) NFL starter QB than anything else.

Pats fans found themselves in the bizarre position of rooting for the Jets in the season's last game (since if they had won, the Pats would have been in the playoffs).

We're now back to hating/strongly disliking them. I hope their struggles continue next year.

p.s. Steve, you can't downsize that avatar any?

"If somebody is not playing well, they need to come out of the game," Jones told Hot 97 FM. "You're jeopardizing the whole team because you're having a bad day. To me, that's not fair to everybody else."
