"Playoff" Brett

Alright...

You know I have to touch on this situation.

Brett FaVRE was once quoted as saying "playoff" Brett...as in, I'll be going to the playoffs this year.

Right.

Well after successfully throwing his team out of the playoffs with his "gunslinger" attitude, it looks like it's time to write another chapter in this long, drawn out, book.

He recently stated that he is going to "deliberate for several weeks" about what he wants to do next season.

Really?

I mean, who didn't see that coming.

Even before good ole number 4 was throwing the game away against Miami, it was already determined that he was going to the Pro Bowl. For what?

He's good ole number 4 of course...doesn't he deserve to be there?

No, no he doesn't. There are plenty of other QB's, Matt Cassel in particular, who should have that spot. Look at it this way...Dikembe Mutumbo is coming back to play for the Houston Rockets...what is he, like 50? So should he play in the All-Star game because he's a great guy and plays for the love of the sport and does the dirty work....no, no he shouldn't. And neither should FaVRE.

It seems like there was a lot of hard feelings toward #4 as well. Not only did an unnamed player come out and bash FaVRE about his lack of team bonding, saying that Brett would be off in a room by himself and not really be a part of the team, kept himself separate...but Thomas Jones, the Jets star runner came out and publicly bashed him for throwing those picks and basically losing the game for them.

So what happens next? Eric Mangini gets fired. Nice.

Seems like a lot of guys on the team were against that move and it seemed as if, if they had to choose the "Manginious" or Good Ole Number 4, they would have chosen the head coach. What's bad news for the Jets is good news for the Browns, if they can actually land this guy.

He had 2 winning seasons with the Jets, his second season was riddled with injury. But it seems like Brett has run him out of town, sort of speak.

#4 just needs to go away...and stay away. Get out of the public eye for a few weeks and just leave us alone. People all around the NFL were saying how tired he looked and just how old he looked in his past few games...maybe it's because you're done Brett, you're done.

And I for one, won't be sad to see you go.
