Favre asks Jets for changes in playbook size

Dtronic · 08-20-2008, 11:50 AM

In a radio interview Monday afternoon, Brett Favre said he had spoken with Eric Mangini about hopefully reaching some kind of "middle ground," in terms of the amount of information being fed the quarterback from the bulky Jets playbook.

Poor Brett

Large Print?
That could bulk his up a tad.

Brett Favre runs his own chuck it up offense. He doesn't need a big playbook.

Don't worry about Brett he'll beat the dolphins twice this year

We'll be able to figure out the 3-5 plays he is able to run in the 1st quarter. The only way Fickle Favre will beat any Dolphins is if he goes deep sea fishing.

Do you actually believe what you're saying...we could run the same 3-5 plays and still tear you apart

and then he'll start crying at the press conference, saying how hard it was.
Favre will throw 22 TD passes this year, 15 will be of the 1-4 yard variety just like every other year. And then in the most crucial situation of the year he'll rip the hearts out of every Jet fan with an ill-advised lob pass into triple coverage that gets picked. I've watched him every Sunday up here in Wisconsin and now they're trying to get as many NYJ games here as well. He's great and all but man the drama...

Whats the difference when your going to be throwing up picks all day.

He never ceases to amaze me. He whines about everthing! He is a so unprofessional. I can understand them using a watered down playbook to give him some time to catch up but damn he is demanding. He forced his way into being reinstated and now is unwilling to put the effort into learning what he needs to. Farve needs to stop talking to the media, evertime he does he embarasses himself.

Sorry Mr 2posts, but you jests are in for a long season. Ask the Redskins what is was like a couple of years ago for them when they blew all there money on supposedly talented washed up veteran free agents. Football isn't like baseball or basketball where you can buy championships with the purchase of players. Brett never wanted to play for the gang green (who does) and now that his arrogance has landed him there his Alzheimer's has finally kicked in and he needs a color-by-numbers playbook. At least the NFL will able to relish in the extension of his NFL records. Though I don't see why interceptions are any cause for celebration.

as a dolphin fan you have no right to tell anyone that there team is in for a long season...one of the best moments of my life was being in miami last december for the dolphin jet game singing na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na goodbye to dolphin fans as they left dolphin stadium

you my friend must have lived a really pathetic life.....your team wrapping up an amazing 4-win season, beating a pathetic 1-win team ranks right up there for you, huh? I feel for you.

good to hear....I guess those other best moments were REALLY good and perhaps that lackluster sounding 'best moment' you mentioned above just made the bottom of your best moments list. Either way, I'm happy to hear that your life isn't as pathetic as you originally led us to believe.

as for doubling our win total....I don't think that there is a 'maybe' about. I'd bet all my finheaven credits on it!! maybe we even triple or quadruple our wins from last year......but doubling? i put that in that LOCK category, and that's a good feeling.

Unfortunately, I give the Jests a far lesser chance at doubling their win total from last year....'maybe' they can match it.
