THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT BRETT

Brett Favre is now a New York Jet.
That's not how Hollywood would have scripted it but it's true. Favre is no longer a member of the Green Bay Packers and will now be wearing the colors of the New York Jets. It's like putting Joe Montana in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform or Jerry Rice wearing Silver and Black for the Raiders. It's wrong.
But right or wrong, it is the way of the NFL. You pour your heart and soul for 17 plus years for one team then once you get old that same team you thought was your BFF will turn its back on you and send some guy named Aaron Rodgers to take your place.
But cheer up, Brett. At least you still have Mary. Remember Mary? The perfect gal pal who almost went to the prom with Ted (not the Packers' GM Ted Thompson) before a certain zipper incident turned the whole town upside down.
Quarterbacks always gets the girl at the end, right?
OK. Maybe that's not how it happened in the movie "There's Something About Mary." As a matter of fact, Ted (Ben Stiller), got the girl (Cameron Diaz) at the end and Favre was left standing at the door with con man Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) and Mary's ex-boyfriend, Woogie (Chris Elliott). Favre would have had a better shot if he had gotten traded to the 49ers because, as I recall, Mary was a Niners fan.
Favre probably feels the weight of the world is on his shoulders now that he's surrounded by the New York media. Note to Brett. That 300-pound dumbbell holding you down is Mary's brother, Warren!
