Well, I was really hoping Favre's name was going to be on a Bear's jersey, but you have to think that New York fans feel like they've all won the lottery.
The first official Farve Jet's jersey is up or sale. I can see why they didn't waste any time getting one of these made, and it'll be interesting to see how many of them they actually sell. The site states that they will ship as soon as they receive them from the manufacturer, so there's no set date when you'll get one if you want to fork over the $80.
You can hit the Jets site HERE to buy the jersey to support your team, and to make all of the local Packers fans in your area hate you when you show up at the bar wearing it.

Most of the game wasn't what you would call exciting, but it was one hell of a finish. I thought for sure when the Pats went up 14-10 that it was going to be one of those classic Patriots wins where something just goes wrong for the other team, as seemed to happen all year. Yet with 1:15 on the clock, third-and-5, Manning managed to fight his way out of what looked like what was going to be a sack, to hit wide receiver David Tyree for a 32-yard gain. Tyree also made the play of the game I think, with an amazing catch. Four plays later, he hit Plaxico Burress' for the winning touchdown.
A lot of people I know who really didn't care who won the game too much, came to the conclusion that they'd rather have the Patriots win, to see history made with the perfect season. I've had a soft spot for the Giants for a while now, coming from the long Sundays of hanging out with my friend Tony, flipping back and forth between watching my Bears and his Giants. There was also the huge underdog factor. The Patriots were such a perfect team, and the press would have you to believe with the perfect quarterback considering how much they talked about who he was dating and the rest of his personal life, that it almost took on a Hollywood sort of feel. I mean, how many sports movies have you seen where the perfect team that never gets beat, loses in the championship game to the scrappy underdogs that everyone says doesn't have a chance? Pretty much every sports movie ever made. The only way it would get any closer is if Eli Manning had been working on a farm the previous year, and some new coach came and convinced him to join the team.
The Giants pulled off that Hollywood ending last night. I'll admit we're not likely to see another chance at a perfect season anytime soon, but I'm fine with letting the 72' Dolphins hold that title a while longer. The Patriots are going to be ok, and probably have another chance at a Super Bowl win next year. The Giants are up in the air on how they'll do next season. This might have been the Giants one moment of glory, or at least this version of the Giants anyway. Regardless, they earned it.

While kind of a basic looking site, it might give you something to look through on this wonderful Monday morning. The Teams Of The Decade site has listed out the top NFL teams of each decade dating all the way back to the 1920's. Each team has an "Adjusted Decade Rating" based on a comprehensive formula. This formula is supposed to take into account regular season a team's winning percentage, playoff appearances, playoff victories, championships, and winning seasons. Then the formula is "adjusted" to allow for the comparisom of teams across decades.
You can check out the site HERE, and see if you agree or not with their findings. I'm sure there won't be a lot of surprises for the top teams, but after that, who knows.
