The New York Jets travel to Miami to face the Dophins in week 1, and although both teams finished dismally last season, this match-up is worth watching for obvious reasons. The whole Pennington-Favre thing, coupled with the new Parcells Era, this one is a Juice Must-See Game.
Brett Favre, at 39 years-old, still has a chip on his shoulder about the Green Bay break-up. He’ll make his 276th consecutive start — including playoffs — on Sunday, extending what is already a league record.
Favre threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns last season, earning a passer rating of 95.7 — his best since 1996. But he had thrown 47 interceptions next to just 38 touchdowns in the previous two seasons, and after the roller-coaster offseason, the pressure will be on to produce victories for the Jets.
“I understand that most people think the odds are against me, and that’s fine,” Favre said. “I’m not here to be a god. I’m not here to get trashed, either. I’m here to help this team win. I still think I can offer something to the game of football, to myself. That’s all I can do. I hope it works out, believe me.”
Juice: Favre would really like to send us message to former GM Ted Thompson and Coach Mike McCarthy. We fully expect Brett to lay it on the Dolphins. ”Git er’ dunnnnn”. [Dolphin noise]
