I've been waiting for some good gossip to come out of the NFL now that a few teams have had a chance to lick their wounds, look around, and decide whom they would like to blame for not getting them to the post-season.It looks like Brett Favre is the next guy to go under the bus in NY, following the firing of head coach Eric Mangini. Jets' RB Thomas Jones, as quoted by NBC:
"We're a team and we win together. ... But at the same time, you can't turn the ball over and expect to win," Jones told the radio station two days after Favre tossed three interceptions in the season-ending loss to Miami.
Jones goes on to say that Favre should have been benched.
NBC reports that another anonymous player says Favre was resented because he didn't hang out with the team or go to dinner with anybody.
The players aren't entirely wrong. Favre threw a bunch of picks down the stretch and didn't play good enough to win. But dinner? Suck it up, boys. You didn't lose because Favre failed to spring for a steak and salad.
