I really have mixed emotions on Brett being traded to the Jets. I’d have to say he’s my favorite athlete of all time, so I will probably continue to follow his career as he moves to New York. I don’t want him to do well, because I am more of a fan of my teams than of any one player, but I would hate to see his legacy tarnished like some other hall of famers I’ve listed below. Who else am I missing?
- Joe Montana to the Chiefs
- Emmitt Smith to the Cardinals
- Joe Namath to the Rams
- Jerry Rice to the Raiders
- Johnny Unitas to the Chargers
I like Brett Favre and respect his decision to continue playing with the hapless Jets. However, Brett Favre has no idea what he has gotten himself into. The New York media is NOTHING like the Green Bay media which treated him like a legend and icon for many years. A few bad games (and there will be many of those) the media will be in his grill and poor Brett will quickly question WHY he came out of retirement. Good luck Brett!
