Chad Pennington Is Fine With Me

New York Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum sought and received permission to speak with former Green Bay Packer Brett Favre about his interest in playing for Gang Green, according to reports published last Friday. If the Jets acquire Favre, 38, a three-time NFL MVP and seven-time All-Pro selection, they will instantly gain credibility and become a legitimate contender in the powerful AFC. New York's brass should do everything in their capabilities to finalize an agreement with the Packers to attain the iconic quarterback, who threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. The Jets, who were on the fringe of selecting the University of Southern Mississippi star in the 1991 draft, before the Atlanta Falcons swiped him with the 33rd pick, spent like Eliot Spitzer splurging on whores this offseason, and they are a win-now team that would be completed by adding a signal caller of Favre’s caliber. In virtually every capacity, dealing for Favre is an obvious move for Gang Green’s hierarchy.  ... (link)
