Mass Suicides in Wisconsin

Ok, now that the trade has been made, I'll talk about the big yellow gorilla in the room. If you read this site with any regularity you've probably noticed that Brett Favre hasn't been mentioned too much recently. This would be normal, if the rest of the media under the sky hadn't been on the "Favre Beat" for the last month and a half.
I made a decision when this whole thing began not to talk about it. Why? Because it was this summer's "There isn't much else going on--so let's talk the shit out of this" story. Last year it was Barry Bonds chasing Hank Aaron. Guess what? Both stories peaked on August 7.
If you ask me, this is just one great big conspiricy to detract attention fron Sidney Crosby's 21st birthday binge tonight (yeah--he's only 21!).
In all seriousness, this story has gotten real old real quick. In the end, what is this trade do to each team? It makes the Packers take a step back and more than likely only adds one or two victories to the Jets this year bringing their projected total to...six wins! Hell yeah!
Does anyone really believe this move makes New York a playoff contender? Or do you see this as one great big marketing plan to sell PSLs to Jets fans? Honestly, I'll tend to believe the latter before I believe the former.
So to recap: Favre is on the cover of Madden 09...the Madden curse sends Favre to New Jersey. Touche John...touche.
