B-R-E-T Bret, Bret, Bret

The Jets' acquisition of superstar Brett Favre was met with mixed reactions with fans feeling extremely bullish about the team's 2008 season, and at the same time knowing that this optimism may be nothing more than a short term plan aimed to "distract from the certain discontent and anguish about the Jets’ misplaced loyalty that will attend their personal seat licenses plan", as the NYT Times recently commented.

Con and I hope that Jets owner Woody Johnson will be kinder to season ticket holders than did the Giants in their recently released PSL plan. Otherwise, next fall, we'll be trading in our season seats on the 30 yard line for our wide screen TV on Sunday afternoons.

These moves will certainly make for an interesting season opener, though, as displaced Jets quarterback Chad Pennington faces his former team mates in the opening game against the Miami Dolphins.
