Oh fuck, it's only one game. The decision will be made after 14+ more games. I do however see that the media is touting Aaron Rodgers as the "new" Favre. He played against the Lions. The Salvation Army Rec League could put up big numbers against the Lions.
Maybe Favre had this dillusion he could step in Joe Namaths shoes temporarily. The Jets have sucked for a long time and it doesn't seemed to be a quarterback issue for the most part. It's the rest of the players that never quite seem to live up to their potential. This is week 2, you're either 0-2 or 1-1 or 2-0. Lot's more football to be played. Favre could have the worst season of his career this year and still be in the hall of fame. We'll know come the first of the year whether Favre's insticts to retire should have been followed upon.

He probably should have retired, but it's interesting to watch him put his records even farther out of reach...
Maybe NYJets could follow the lead set by this 'football' club in Congo!
Witchcraft rumor sparks riot at Congo soccer game
September 15, 2008 1:18 PM EDT
KINSHASA, Congo - Accusations that a soccer player was using witchcraft during a match in eastern Congo sparked a riot that killed 13 people, a U.N.-funded radio station reported Monday.
Most of the victims were between the ages of 11 and 16, Radio Okapi said. They were suffocated as panicked crowds ran for the exits during the mayhem Sunday in Butembo in eastern Congo's North Kivu province.
Radio Okapi said police tried to control the violence at Matokeo stadium by firing into the air to protect their commander, who was hit in the head and wounded by fans.
The two local clubs involved were Socozaki and Nyuki System, the radio said.
Dozens of teenagers marched through Butembo's dirt streets Monday in protest, and the regional governor, Julien Mpaluku, paid a visit to the hospital.
Mpaluku said the government was investigating.
He made no mention of witchcraft, but confirmed that soldiers had fired into the air to calm angry crowds. The shooting prompted panic instead, which became fatal "when the crowds all tried to leave at the same time."
"Most of the dead were children, only two or three were adults," Mpaluku said.
North Kivu has been the epicenter of violence between Congo's army and rebels over the last year which has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
