Favre's 'penalty lap' draws attention
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog —
Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Brett Favre insists he's one of the guys, merely one-80th of a training camp roster. But what other New York Jet would cause the team to issue a 238-word statement about having to run a penalty lap? That happened with Favre. Seriously Favre, in his second workout with the Jets, had to run around the practice field with center Nick Mangold for a botched snap Sunday morning at Hofstra University. Video of what otherwise would be a routine training camp scene was posted on YouTube by the time Eric Mangini began his post-practice news conference. ...
Brett Favre Runs a Lap: 'It Is Kind of Funny'
FanHouse —
Filed under: Jets, NFL VideoJets quarterback Brett Favre and center Nick Mangold fumbled an exchange during today's practice, and that meant that Favre and Mangold had to run a lap, just like every other Jet who commits a turnover: Jets coach Eric Mangini is one of the few NFL coaches who uses the old Pop Warner standby of forcing players to run laps when they make mistakes, and Favre said he found it funny, and that he had never done it before. Favre's comments about running the lap, as transcribed by the Jets' PR department, are after the jump. ...
Watch: Favre Runs a Lap at Camp
thejetsblog.com —
Nice to see Mangini isn’t giving his new prize asset any preferential treatment. Hopefully that will be the last time he and Mangold botch a snap.
In the meantime, check out Cimini’s blog details some impressive hook-ups from Favre to Cotchery, including this one:
Toward the end of practice, Favre launched a 75-yard TD pass to Cotchery. The amazing thing about this play was that CB David Barrett actually had decent coverage. There was only a small window, and he found it with a pass that traveled about 65 yards in the air.
Barrett with ...

The Viking Age | A Minnesota Vikings blog —
I thought the sight of Brett Favre in a Jets jersey would cause me to weep with joy. But it doesn’t. I think it’s Favre fatigue…I’m unable to feel anything about him anymore. I can’t even enjoy the idea of him being away from the ...

Monday Means Swimming!
Bob's Blog - Live from Lewisville —
The thing about the Olympic Games is that I never know if I am going to watch until it gets here, and then I just kind of give it a chance to grab me and see if it works. If it doesn’t, I go on with my life and hold no grudge. If it does, then I have something to blog about. Like today. That 4 x 100 meter relay was so awesome last night, I cannot even describe how much I enjoyed watching swimming. I obviously don’t know what I was looking at, but I knew the French were talking smack, so it was on. And just when it looked like we could not close the gap on the last leg, our dude pulled off a brilliant ...
Brett Favre ran a lap, and it made me feel sad all day
Shutdown Corner —
I was hoping that after Brett Favre was traded to the Jets, everyone would
relax, take a deep breath, slow down with the FavreLust, and slowly regain the
knowledge that other football players still exist in the universe.
Nope.
About 36 hours after it happened, Brett
Favre running a lap in practice was still the number four headline on
ESPN.com, after only Paddy Harrington's PGA win, Michael Phelps winning his
second gold, and Kyle Busch winning a car race.
One lap around the practice field. That's what happened. That's all
that happened. The man fumbled, and his coach, saying that Favre is ...
Proof That Anything Favre Is News
The Sporting Blog —
This lead SportsCenter this morning and prompted a Josh Elliot discussion with Cris Carter over its ramifications and, as MJD over at Shutdown Corner points out, is still the fourth headline on ESPN.com as we speak, despite it occurring over 24 hours ago. (And, to be fair, Sporting News even whipped up an entire column about it.) No, it’s not anything Olympics related, nor does it have to do with any actual games in any actual sport. No, friends, it's something far less interesting: Brett Favre jogging in a circle: ...
When Fat QBs Scramble, Everyone’s A Winner
Tirico Suave —
Jared Lorenzen Scrambles Colts-Panthers As far as videos of quarterbacks running during the preseason go, I promise you that this video of Jared Lorenzen scrambling against the Panthers (at the 1:58 mark) is much more enjoyable than a video of Brett Favre at Jets practice taking a lap for fumbling to prove he’s part of the team.
BRETT FAVRE RUNS A LAP AFTER A FUMBLE
Docksquad Sports —
Check out Brett Favre and Center Nick Mangold running a lap after they fumbled an exchange during a recent Jets practice. Now I won't lie, I actually wish Lovie Smith had Orton and Rex running these laps before, during and after practices and games for all their fumbling and bumbling that they do during games. Docksquad to Lovie, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! ...
Jets don't care that Brett Favre is a legend
Where's Ubaldo? —
After fumbling during practice, Brett Favre was told to take a lap around the field. Earth to the Jets coaching staff. This is not pee-wee football. We are talking about Brett Favre here.
