Brett ‘the Jet’ Favre is surviving too

Jets and Brett Favre win their season opener. It must be very relieving to the Jets management to see Brett showing no sign of age or any stress the preseason drama might have caused.

But, it must be relieving for Favre too. In my view it is like a middle-age survival issue for Favre too. Compared to rest of us middle-aged people, Favre does not need to work. I can’t imagine he has any financial problems to managed his family. And he does not need to prove newly to anyone that he has got it. Nor there is need to prove that he still got it. I have a great respect for Favre as a great player and as a class athlete. But him going through all that during the off-season and preseason, it is just like middle-age survival issue just like you and me.

For many of us, the middle-age survival issues are not “real” issues. Of course, life is full of issues. But the middle-age issues that we are trying to survive are like most of the calls and motions that Payton Manning goes through at every snap. No, I do not think those are Manning’s middle-age crisis, they actually create crisis for other teams (and sometimes to his own team).

But it is very relieving to see Jets win. Go Jets. Next week Pats are coming. What happed to Brady is sad. Sure it will be a little easy for Jets, but I do not wish that to any player. But then again, it is a physical game and endurance is what you want on your side. Jest got Favre now. I will stop now. I do not want to zinx my own team. The Madden Curse is there to take care of the business in case we celebrate too much.
