Sad to hear about Brett,at least the packer team didn't call him out like these jets players,even if minn picked him up will he play like he did for the jets,his heart just isn't in it any more and to keep a team hanging if you want to come back,is frustrating I like Brett just think the waiting game is unfair,you know what the docs said you can play,so it must be mentally that he is not ready come feb he, will delay untill draft will jets wait that long?

Thomas Jones is now backing off his comments on ESPN First take. He said he answered questions but it wasn't about Brett it was about the team and the reporters chopped it up to make it look bad. So is it possible the media stirring up stuff or is Jones backing away from what he said.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be šŸ™‚ (PS, Zero should charge for this)

As if finding a new head coach, preparing for the draft and figuring out whether the star quarterback will be part of their future aren't big enough issues, the New York Jets have a new problem to deal with as they begin 2009.

Brett Favre is not a popular guy with his teammates, some of whom think the legendary quarterback needed to be held accountable for crucial mistakes down the stretch as the team missed a playoff berth.

Appearing on a local radio show Tuesday, Jets running back Thomas Jones said Favre should have been benched during his three-interception performance against the Dolphins on Sunday, according to The Daily News.

"We're a team and we win together ... but at the same time, you can't turn the ball over and expect to win," Jones said in the interview. "The other day, the three interceptions really hurt us. I mean, that's just reality. If I were to sit here and say, 'Oh, man, it's OK,' that's not reality.

"The reality is, you throw interceptions, I'm (ticked) off, I don't like it. You know what I'm saying? I don't like it, I know everybody else on the team doesn't like it."

The veteran running back, coming off a 1,300-yard season with 13 touchdowns on the ground, went so far as to say coach Eric Mangini should have benched Favre, a training-camp addition to the roster after retiring from the Green Bay Packers and then changing his mind

"If somebody is not playing well, they need to come out of the game," Jones said in the WQHT-FM interview. "You're jeopardizing the whole team because you're having a bad day. To me, that's not fair to everybody else. You're not the only one on the team."

Playing with a sore shoulder, Favre, 39, threw nine interceptions during the Jets' 1-4 December swoon, finishing with a league-high 22 and adding to his reputation as a gunslinger perhaps too confident in his own abilities.

Another player said Favre was an awkward fit from almost the moment the Jets traded for him on Aug. 6 and released Chad Pennington. Favre reportedly spent considerable time during the season in a private office near the equipment room rather than in the locker room.

"There was a lot of resentment in the room about him," the anonymous teammate told Newsday. "He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone."

Owner Woody Johnson has indicated he wants to see Favre back in 2009, but Jones' outburst is an indication that the quarterback has work to do on and off the field with his teammates if he plans to return next season.

On Monday, fourth-year safety Kerry Rhodes told the paper: "If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this, and do it the right way ... and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us ... then I'm fine with it. But don't come back if it's going to be halfhearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us."

And the issue may extend beyond the locker room as the Jets look for Mangini's replacement.

"I want (Favre) out of the building before I get there," one general manager told The Daily News in analyzing the thought process of prospective coaches. "He's finished. You can read Mangini's body language: 'We can't control him. He will not follow. He's undisciplined. Belligerent.'

"Why would any reasonable man even want him around if you are trying to get a fresh start?"


William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.
"I'm a reasonable man, get off my case."

4Pack - I'll root for Favre as long as he's not playing us. So 14 times a year, yes. 2 times a year, no. Versus 16 times a year rooting for Aaron Rodgers to do well.

I didn't really root for the Jets this year, but I did pull for Brett to do good and pad his stats so far that that little pissant Peyton Manning can't ever reach them. šŸ™‚

Did anyone hear Mark Schlereth talking on ESPN radio (maybe Mike and Mike in the Morning show this am?)

Words to the effect of...

"You do not DO what is happening in the NY Jets locker room." "One thing people don't realize how oftentimes we hardly know some of our teammates due to compartmentalization, etc., so many times we are not even friends, but we NEVER would be talking about this sort of stuff with the media, NEVER."

He was pressed on the "Never." His answer... "NEVER!"

"You go to the teammate, you request a team meeting...you do not go on some radio show (very funny, semi-ethnic , made- fun of- thing he did here, implying sort of a hip-hop station or some-such) and proclaim your personal opinions about a fellow team member"

I consider the source when I hear stuff. When I don't think much of the source, I don't think much of what I hear.

On sportscenter last night they compared Thomas Jones stats from last year (with Pennington) to this year (with Favre), he had 15 tds this year as opposed to 2 last year and i think about 300 more yards. The reporter was saying that T. Jones has no right to ridicule Brett when Jones gets better stats because Favre is at qb. It ends up helping both the team and Jones.
