Jet Favre

In what should be considered the most boneheaded public relations disaster in recent memory, the Green Bay Packers denied Brett Favre the opportunity to compete for the teams starting quarterback position this season, choosing instead to trade Favre to the New York Jets.

All the Packers had to do was quietly open the training camp gates for Favre and let him run the second team, while Favre quarterback heir Aaron Rodgers lead the first squad.

In the football land of vast cliches, the Packers could have then let the chips fall as they may. If Favre fell flat on his old bones and hefty ego, then he would've either gone back into retirement or stayed on as backup.

Or, Favre may have lit it up during the preseason and earned his starting job back for another season.

I imagine that either of these scenarios would have resonated just fine with the most important element of this equation, football cheeseheads of Wisconsin.

Packers fans have been robbed.

Logic defies every measure of Packers front office decision making during the entire Favre drama.

Favre will wear green this season.

To the chagrin of many Green Bay football faithful, the gold that compliments Packers green has been tarnished.
