This move gives the Jets instant credibility (“Jet Favre,” Aug. 7).
Now they will own the back page for a little while, and, if they do badly this year, everyone will know Eric Mangini is the problem.

I lost all respect for Brett Favre when he took a dive to give Michael Strahan the sack record. He is also the most overrated big-name athlete in pro sports.
Farve threw six interceptions indoors in St. Louis in a playoff game. He lost, at home, to Michael Vick and to the Giants when it was sub-zero “Packer weather,” and he lost in Philly in a playoff game because he threw a horrible interception during overtime.
He has as many Super Bowl rings as Trent Dilfer.
Favre’s behavior over the last month toward the only team he ever played for has been disgusting. If the Jets start out 0-3, he may retire before the end of September.

Woodie, what are you thinking?
How is a 39-year-old quarterback going to help you long-term?
If Green Bay could not convince Favre to retire, one season with the Jets will.
