Brett Favre is a New York Jet
Aug 7th
Brett the Jet
The Jet’s are always mentioned in the rumors of any big free agent or trade possibility. I got a call waking me just after 1:00am.
“Are you watching ESPN?” the voice said.
“Did we get him?” I replied.
The deal was done, Favre for a conditional draft pick. A 4th round pick right now, up to a 1st round pick if the Jets make the Super Bowl.
This brings back memories of players like Ronnie Lott & Art Monk coming to the Jets in the 90′s. Hall of Fame, game changing stars, reduced to role players.
I believe Favre can still play at a very high level. I never thought he would retire after the loss to the Giants. He’s far to competitive to end his career on an interception.
Ronnie Lott
Art Monk
Favre put the Packers in a difficult situation, they have their new franchise quarterback right where they want him. No, not Aaron Rodgers, Brian Brohm. Aaron Rodgers will ‘take one for the team’. Packers fans will never accept him, especially now. After his first interception the fans will be calling for Brohm to replace him.
The Atlanta/Louisville connection.
16 years ago, the Jets had Favre #1 on their draft board. They had no first round pick, and held the 34th overall pick. Unfortunately the 33rd pick would snag Favre. The Jets would take Browning Nagle from Louisville. Nagle was known to throw the ball deep and hard. Unfortunately he would throw the ball short and hard as well. (He was actually drafted into pro baseball as a pitcher years before) Nagles career would take him through Atlanta, the same team that stole Louisville’s (Brohm’s) coach last year, the team that originally drafted Favre. Now Brohm will be Favres replacement in Green Bay and the Jets get the guy they wanted all along, since 1991.
ESPN – Favre era ends in Green Bay with trade to Jets – NFL.
Take 6 For those of you who still don’t know.

I’m amazed at how often I mention Take 6 and people have no idea who I’m talking about. As of this performance they had recorded 10 albums and won 10 grammy’s.
I was blessed to be able to see them in concert when they were in San Antonio, they did a version of what you see here and it alone is worth the price of admission. It really is a site & sound to behold:
I hope you appreciate it as much as I do!

What's that word?
I must admit, I check Dictionary.com quite often. To check the spelling of a word, even to verify the meaning of a word. I’m sure a few emails I’ve written have sent the readers to Dictionary.com themselves, just to figure out what the word meant. I came across an interesting link today from their Blog at Dictionary.com, it was for a Reverse Dictionary. You type in the meaning your looking for, and it gives you a word or option of words that it could be. I always that a thesaurus was good for this.
I’ve tried a few ‘meanings’ myself and it was kind of interesting. It’s quite obvious that it doesn’t have the understanding of say a Google Search. It’s probably only worthy of say 2 stars out of 5, but I think they are on an interesting path, who knows they may end up with a Wiki or something.
