Jets quarterback Brett Favre, in his first appearance since 1991 as a member of a team other than the Packers, proclaimed “I’m not a traitor” during a press conference at Cleveland Browns Stadium, conducted prior to the Jets preseason opener against the Browns.

Still, addressing for likely the last time (until he writes a book on the matter) the ugly divorce with his former employer, Favre acknowledged that, regarding the split, “We’re probably both at fault.”

Regarding his current mindset, Favre said that he’d borrow a phrase from the Packers:  “We’re moving forward.”

Favre also talked about G.M. Mike Tannenbaum’s dogged recruitment of the veteran quarterback, and Favre mentioned that Bucs coach Jon Gruden was trying to get him to pick Tampa, too.  (Jeff Garcia just threw a shoe at the wall.)

A couple of readers have opined to us that Favre’s body language suggests that he might not have completely bought into the move, and that maybe he’s now trying to justify the move in order to avoid looking foolish for doing something he really didn’t want to do.

Said one reader, “He wouldn’t even put the damn Jets jersey on when he left.  He hemmed and hawed about being in N.Y. and leaving Green Bay.  All this proved is he has a huge ego and a below average I.Q.”

Said another reader, “He has the taste of a spoiled relationship in his mouth.  Rather than take as much time as he needed to make the decision of what to do next, he got together with this next girl and decided she was his girlfriend within 36 hours.  This guy looks shell-shocked, and ‘convinced’.  Like the type of ‘convinced’ one is when they’ve made a major purchase and now they have to defend that purchase to somebody else.”

PFT Planet, have at it.
