Maaaaaan he should have just sucked it up and played for Green Bay,
but reports said that he was emotionally hurt by the actions that the Packers made against him.
I like Favre, I really do. It's sort of tight seeing a grown-ass veteran celebrate like a little kid throwing his hands up in the air everytime he scores a touchdown as if it was his first time. It shows that dude has love for the game, but I hate how he handled this situation.
And if you want to be really surprised this is what he got traded for according to ESPN:
"The exact compensation wasn't immediately available, but it is believed to be a fourth-round draft pick that increases in value depending on how the Jets perform in the 2008 season.
According to the NFL Network, if Favre takes 50 percent of total snaps with the Jets in 2008, the fourth-rounder becomes a third-round pick. If he gets 70 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs, it becomes a second-round pick; and if he gets 80 percent of snaps and the Jets make the Super Bowl, it becomes a first-round pick."
...Yeah I'm thinking the same thing...the Jets played the Packers.Well let's see what happens, for more info read this article.
