Favre runs Jets penalty lap
To his voluminous records, Brett Favre can now add this: He has run the most famous penalty lap in N.F.L. history. Any idea that Favre might be getting the royal treatment since joining the Jets went out the window Sunday, after he and center Nick Mangold botched a snap midway through the morning practice. The ball hit the ground, and Mangold and Favre -- adhering to Coach Eric Mangini's old-school methods -- hit the road, to cheering from the crowd. During the run, Mangold asked Favre if the fumble was his fault, and Favre said no, although Mangold said he did not believe him.

Is wanting to play so badly worth what you are doing to your legacy?
This embarrassment will continue all season long and will be painful to watch.

Non-newsworthy. Everyone in every camp runs a lap from time-to-time.

Wait a minute. Favre and Mangold, quarterback and center, botched a snap and had to do a lap. Mangold, the center, asks Favre, the quarterback, if the fumble was his (Favre's) fault. Favre says no but Mangold doesn't believe him. I don't know which one deserves my sympathy, Favre or Mangold. Looks like the Jets will be flying 'high' this year. Oy!

Come on, Nick Mangold asked if it was not Brett's fault but his own.
Real Sports: Weak Sauce | 08/11/08, 08:02 AM
So Brett was taking the responsibility for the fumble but Mangold thought the fault was his and not Brett's. Okay, that's different then. Thanks. =-]

if he had to run a lap for each turnover during his career, he'd own the penalty lap record too..

Do you get the feeling that Mangini and Favre had a talk before practice....
"Listen Brett... I think I know how we can really make the team view you as a teammate and not a media distraction. Get this: You know how I'm 'old school' with the lap-running, right?...."

Or maybe those are his rules and no one is immune to them. There isn't a conspiracy in everything that is done.

You give him special treatment and everyone's critical. You treat him like another member of the squad and everyone's critical. Sheesh.
