Thomas Jones Calls Out Brett Favre
Hip 2 Da Game —
... Thomas Jones has done a lot to move himself up my list of favorite NFL players this season. Not only did he lead me to one of my two fantasy football championships this year, but he also called out Brett Favre on Hot 97 in New York. There were also comments from other Jets players that there was resentment for Favre in the locker room, who saw him as a distant teammate who's commitment was questioned. You already know how I feel about the situation: if you fire Eric Mangini then you have to ...

... here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us … then I’m fine with it, But don’t come back if it’s going to be half-hearted or he doesn’t want to put the time in with us.” An Anoynomus Jets veteran claimed that Favre was very distant from the team all year, and said that “There was a lot of resentment in the room about him. He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone…”

... - I was pumped to see Thomas Jones say what half of America is thinking. I think a big reason so many people get upset about Brett Favre and how the media treats him is because there is such a singular message attached to it. Everyone thinks the same thing about Brett Favre, and all we hear about is how great he is. ...

A lot went in to this decision. There were TONS of un-distinguished candidates, but in the end Favre topped them all. With all the time and ink dedicated to his retirement, un-retirement and trade to the New York Jets, a lot was expected of the man who’s comfortable in Wrangler. And to be fair, on the last day of the season, he was a candidate but not our winner. Now that certain details have come out that shed some light into what was going on behind the scenes, there is no doubt in our minds that he’s earned this award. ...

King Is Still the Master of Horror
Daily Norseman —
... For, you see, the rest of the world is finally starting to catch on to something that we here in Minnesota have known for a very long time. . .that Brett Favre is an arrogant, self-centered, self-absorbed, pompous ass. He was that way when he (self-admittedly) drank his way out of Atlanta, he was that way the entire time he was in Green Bay, and if the words of his teammates are any indicator, he was that way this past season in New York as well. ...

... powers to make a sore arm feel better after you don’t use it for a while? New York’s release of Favre opens the door for a rendezvous in Minnesota. The Vikings could definitely use a quarterback, and that is where Favre wanted to end up last year. But one year of Favre didn’t save the Jets. It brought the team to a mediocre 9-7 season, going 1-4 in the team’s final five games as Favre tossed nine interceptions and only two touchdown passes. It led to running back Thomas Jones’ comments that Favre should have been benched in those last few games. So what exactly does Minnesota ...
