It Makes Me Want To Throw Up...And That's Good

Apparently the Jets have a new quarterback.

I'm sure you can find plenty of Brett Favre coverage on the internet today. I harken back to a story I wrote nearly three years ago that you'll enjoy if you haven't previously read it.

True Metvres know...Brett Favre has 2 walk-off (overtime) touchdown passes in his career.

* An 82-yard throw to Greg Jennings to beat the Broncos, October 29, 2007
* A 43-yard pass to Antonio Freeman to beat the Vikings on November 6, 2000

Two seemed like a small number until I looked up Joe Namath on Pro Football Reference and saw that he had only one (November 10, 1974 at Giants), as did Dan Marino.

By the way, if Brett Favre scores a TD and Mike Nugent kicks the PAT, isn't that a Favrenugent (think: the German word for "to drive")?

And as far as Saturday's pitcher goes, all we are saying is Give Niese A Chance.
