O.K., so more Brett Favre talk, more finger nails on the chalkboard.

He's like the golden child of the family that your parents won't shut up about.

And now it appears he will be a New York Jet. Not like those hapless fans aren't insufferable enough for all their suffering as it is but maybe this is like a gift from the sky for all those botched draft days that the crying men in the audience had to endure.

But Favre becomes the best Jet signal caller since Suzy Kolber's lovestruck drunken sideline boyfriend, Joe Willie. No. 4 also makes the Jets somebody again because in case you didn't notice, Favre still has the stones and the juice on game day. Chad Pennington might as well wear a suit on game day to look good because he ain't gonna be playing unless Favre can't handle the boos of the New York populace.

Now, who is Favre going to enjoy playing with on the Jets? He might wish he never opened his mouth about retiring after last season.

This is a bold move, and a smart one if the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets didn't give up too much (i.e. a no. 1 pick) for the old man. I will say this though, if Favre has fun, as in wins this season, he might play 2 more seasons and he likely can do it without looking O-L-D, old, old, old.
