Last season, Brett Favre cost the Jets $12 million in salary.

This year, his mouth cost them another $125,000.

Per published reports, the NFL has issued three different fines for the failure of the Jets to disclose the arm injury that affected Favre's performance during the final weeks of the 2008 season. NFL executive V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson fined the team $75,000, and Anderson fined G.M. Mike Tannenbaum and former head coach Eric Mangini $25,000 each for their roles in the ordeal.

As we've previously mentioned, the notion that Favre was injured down the stretch emerged not long after the 2008 season ended, with the 8-3 Jets fizzling to a 1-4 finish and missing the playoffs. At first, we believed that talk of an arm injury from Favre was simply cover for his poor play, given that his name hadn't appeared on the injury report.

The league previously overlooked the reality that the Jets had fudged the injury report because, we believe, plenty of teams have not disclosed injuries to players who have played through them. Last year, the Dolphins barely disclosed any injuries throughout the course of the entire season. Also, Pats running back Laurence Maroney played with a broken shoulder -- but didn't appear on the injury report. And Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger admitted after Super Bowl XLIII that he played with a broken rib, even though he was not listed on the injury report in the days preceding the game.

As the NFL previously has explained it, the injury report focuses on availability, not effectiveness. So since Favre practiced and played with the condition, the Jets handled the situation no differently than any other team that has failed to disclose an injury to a player who continued to practice and play.

The difference in this case is that Favre wouldn't let it go. And when he said last week that the problem was sufficiently bad that he should have been benched, the league had no choice but to take action -- even though the league knew full well that Favre had pulled the sheet off the Jets' shenanigans months ago.

In an unrelated note, the Vikings' injury report will include each week the following entry under the "probable" designation: QB Brett Favre (arm, ribs, wrist, hand, finger, ankles, head, shoulder, knees, toes, back, front, groin, taint, swine flu, polio, lupus).

lol are you serious? The NFL wasn't evening paying attention to this until Favre made his comments. The Jets GM owned up to it right away. He didn't have much choice, like the article said. Favre blew it open, nothing could be done. If Favre would have kept his ... wait ... are you seriously defending Brett?

What the fuck is wrong with Vikings fans' these days? They whine about Packer fans an their green/gold goggles and now they have Brett goggles up the ass.

lol Ok VR...

So, it's Brett's fault that he wasn't benched by his teams' owner/coach/GM?

lol Yes, I'm serious.

So, you are telling me that the NFL had NO clue of Favre's injury.. Even though it's been reported, rumored, spread, buttered, ingested, defecated, and decomposed? The NFL and her officials knew damn right, just like the rest of us.

Only, this time, when asked, Favre said that he probably should have been sitting out, and how he was willing to.

Since that was reported, the media immediately went running and knocking on the Jets door to talk to their officials.

The NFL knew all about the facts, here. The difference was they could no longer IGNORE it.

I just love how, it's always Brett's fault.. When the effin' Jets should have benched him in the first place.

He has a "cracked rib" right now, Formo.

He probably has Alzheimer's as well, I would bet that's the first time anybody had to put THAT on an NFL injury report.

If I were the Vikes I'd get a Physician's desk Reference and send it to the League Office and have Brett autograph it with the phrase, "One each"

Yeah, like I said.. I liked the last part of Florio's post.

Buuut.. On the other hand.. You think Favre's current 'ailments' are bad enough to affect his play (like his bicept did last year)? I don't think so.. but I could be wrong.
