Title: Jets In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Dec 24^th, 2008, 11:16pm

Both of these sagas will work themselves out more in the offseason on the offseason report thread... But, here we go... (again, ::) with regards to story number one)... From a LOCAL source that rolls [smiley=rollin.gif] off "The REAL Feed":

Favre drops hint about Jets future (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2008/12/24/2008-12-24_disappointed_brett_favre_hints_sunday_co.html)
New York Daily News: Sports - Football (24.12.2008 13:58)
The Jets want Brett Favre to return in 2009, but does Favre want the Jets? Does he want any team in the NFL? It didn't sound like it Wednesday, as Favre, in his weekly news conference at the Jets' facility, was downcast and reflective.

And, then, besides the guy who's under center, there is the little issue of who's gonna be the head coach... [smiley=shrug.gif]

No word on Eric's '09 status (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2008/12/23/2008-12-23_no_word_on_eric_manginis_2009_status_fro.html[/url)

Long before Giants running back Derrick Ward learned to sidestep tacklers in the NFL, he was dodging bullets in south central Los Angeles. Ward once admitted rubbing elbows with gang members as a teen.

Contrary to the headline, does it really even matter? [smiley=injury.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

Favre to have MRI, will affect decision to play (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3796825&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (28.12.2008 21:33)
Brett Favre will have an MRI exam Monday on his ailing right shoulder, saying it would affect his decision on whether he'll come back for another season with the New York Jets.

As somewhat expected... From a LOCAL source rolling [smiley=rollin.gif] "The REAL Feed":

Eric Mangini fired as Jets' coach (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2008/12/29/2008-12-29_eric_mangini_fired_as_jets_coach_day_aft.html)
New York Daily News: Sports - Football (29.12.2008 10:26)

On second,... thirty-second,... thought,... injury's minor... [smiley=shrug.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

Sources: Favre's shoulder pain from biceps tear (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3800421&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (30.12.2008 15:11)
Brett Favre has been told by doctors that pain in his right shoulder is from a biceps tear but that he would need nothing more than arthroscopic surgery to repair it, sources said.

And, in other "future"-related news... Even though he said he ain't coming back next year, they're going to give it a try... according to "The REAL Feed":

Jets plan to speak with Cowher about coaching job (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/wires/12/30/2020.ap.fbn.jets.coaching.search.1st.ld.writethru.0524/index.html)

Favre to take his time and mull things over this time, something he should have done the times before. The team will take care of themselves. From "The REAL Feed":
