YES CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! BRETT FAVRE HAS BEEN TRADED!!!!
I KNOW I AM TYPING IN CAPS CAUSE I AM TRYING TO SHOW HOW TIRED OF THIS STORY I ACTUALLY AM.
Off the couch and out of the cold, Brett Favre is slipping on a new jersey.
Favre's summertime soap opera ended Wednesday night when the Green Bay Packers traded their iconic quarterback to the New York Jets, who haven't had a star of No. 4's stature since the days Joe Namath was slinging passes and strolling down Broadway.
Brett's a Jet, until the day he retires -- again.
"It's like a marriage that ends," Packers president Mark Murphy said Thursday. "It happens. Neither party is at fault."
Favre, who announced his NFL playing career was over in March, was expected to be introduced at a 6 p.m. news conference at Cleveland Browns Stadium before the Jets played their first exhibition game.
Although Favre still must pass a physical and a run test, the NFL managing council approved the deal Thursday.
The Packers will receive a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 in return for Favre. The selection would turn into a third-rounder if Favre plays in 50 percent of the plays this season, a second-rounder if he plays in 70 percent and the Jets make the playoffs, or a first-round pick if he plays in 80 percent and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl.
