Yup...he was traded...in case ya didn't know. haha
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Brett Favre was just traded to the NY Jets.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hah! How are the Packers ever going to beat the Lions now? Oh yeah...they still will. Sh1tty ass Lions. Why can't I live in a state with a good football team?

OH FVCK YA.. I was in the studio all day. Now, I can root for the Jets. I think that is great.. might have to make a few adjustments to my fantasy draft..

The Jets have no team so it was the best trade for the Packers. If Brett went to the Bucs, Gruden would stomp a muddy hole in them. All they need is a real QB. And yes, Garcia's as old as Brett, but Brett's a 2X MVP with 16 consecutive starts and bound for the Hall of Fame. Garcia breaks a nail and he's out 3 games. Greenbay doesn't want to face the Bucs with their 16 year QB in the backfield.
Sucks for me too, because I woulda bought season tickets for Tampa to see that. I love Favre, he's got at least 4 more seasons left in him, but I hate to see him retire in a Jets uniform.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Chances of Favre going to Super Bowl with Jets are as slim as finding Osama.
Yes, Favre is a legend and a great QB but what separates a great QB from a winning QB (like Brady) is a pack of quick WRs, smart RBs, and strong offensive line.
Which, unfortunately for Favre, Jets have none of it.
Anybody know if Favre signed a contract with the Jets? Is he a free agent yet?
He really needs to go play with the Vikings to rub it in Green Bay's face and say "Screw you for not taking me back."

I can't find the details of the trade. Anyone know any specifics? What did GB get out of the trade besides getting rid of their problem?
EDIT: I see GB got the draft pick they had been wanting out of the deal.
The Jets have really beefed up their team this past off season. Their only competition in the division are The Patriots....hopefully...

If the Jets can at least get to the playoffs and lose to the Pats, then the Farve trade will have been a success for both them and him.
Although Farve turned down a lucrative salaried job with the Packers that would have kept him off the field, with big companies everything is about money. NFL teams now draw most of their revenue from merchandising. The real reason that the Packers don't want Farve to play in their area of the country is that his fans there will be more likely to stop buying Packer jerseys. Farve going to the Jets is a new geographic area in which to sell "Farve"-labeled merchandise to a new set of fans.

All speculation whether or not the Jets will be any good. The Jets have a new team and don't know how that will work out for them. I hope they will fit together nicely.
Maybe we will see something promising from the teams game tonight

I'm the same way. It doesn't feel right when great players who have played many years for a team and when you think of the player you think of the team, end up finishing their career for a different team. When somebody says Joe Montana, who thinks of the Chiefs?Rollo Tomassi said:
It just isn't right.

I take back what I said about the Patriots being the main competition this season for the Jets.
The Jets probably won't win more then 8 or 9 games max. Based on the looks of these pre season games. then again most teams hold back in the pre-season

Only reason I don't want Farve on the Jets. Is because, one of the Jets new quarterback is from my home town. So, now I can't see him play!!

Excuse my ignorance for football for the only professional sport I watch is the NBA, but Favre is the one that said that he would retire or something?
