The Morning Hangover - Jets Are Perfect For Favre Chatter

We want to take you back to Brett Favre's retirement press conference on March 6th for this little gem: "I'm much more aware of how hard it is to win in this league and to play at a high level. I'm not up to the challenge anymore. I can play, but I'm not up to the challenge. You can't just show up and play for three hours on Sunday. If you could, there'd be a lot more people doing it and they'd be doing it for a lot longer. I have way too much pride, I expect a lot out of myself, and if I cannot do those things 100 percent, then I can't play." Show up, roll out the balls, pants Bubba Franks, torch Ahmad Carroll in practice, shoot a few commercials, exalt in the fact that there are no real expectations (even in New York) to win, and finish 8-8 and just miss the playoffs. It's the perfect scenario for Favre at this point in his career.

"He'll bat No. 1, and he will play somewhere every day,'' (Ron) Gardenhire said of Span. "I'm telling you that right now.''
