SOHH Brett Favre managed to stay in green after all, but not Packers green … GANG GREEN!

That’s right, as of midnight, Brett Favre is a New York Jet. How about that!? All that smoke surrounding the Jets having interest in Favre turned out to be fire after all.

From the Pack’s standpoint, they trade Favre to the AFC, where he won’t be an obstacle to them. From Favre’s standpoint … well, he just gets a chance to play again.

Favre will definitely make the Jets better – like three or four wins better and possibly the playoffs.

But Favre’s receivers with the Jets aren’t exactly the same group he had in Green Bay. I mean, Laveranues Coles can still get down the field and do some things, but from there you’re dealing with a bunch of wildcards. Jerricho Cotchery – need I say more!?

Think this Favre ish is finally over? Nah, b. It’s just beginning. Mark my words – With all the media scrutiny, New York City is going to be a very tough place for Favre to end his career on a good note. He would have been better off in low-key Tampa Bay. What do ya’ll think about Favre as a Jet? Holla at me, maaaan!

Moving on … everyone’s trying to debate if LeBron will follow Hov to Brooklyn, take over NYC with the Knicks or resign with the Cavs, when he turns into a free agent after the 2010-2011 season.

Well, LeBron said that he would actually entertain a $50 million per season offer to play overseas in Europe. Wow.

Now, I’ll tell ya’ll what … when top prep recruit and point guard Brandon Jennings shed his commitment with Arizona to ball in Europe, that ish opened eyes.

The power of the dollar don’t mean shi*t any more. It’s about that Euro, apparently. Well, $50 mil is a lot of money, but I don’t think LeBron would leave the L to play in Europe because if you play overseas, you have to live overseas and dudes don’t wanna do that. Besides … it would do nothing for his reputation and legacy. Think he’s bullsh*ttin?
