Jets Admit to Cheating on BrettFavre’s Injury Report
NJ.com – Responding to comments made by Brett Favre on Wednesday that the Jets knew he was playing with torn biceps in his throwing shoulder and advised him to continue to play anyway, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum confirmed Thursday morning that that was indeed the situation… The injury was discovered with four or five weeks remaining in the season but Favre was never on the Jets’ injury report. Tannenbaum took the blame for that and spoke to league executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson Thursday morning and the team may be fined… Not putting Favre on the injury report was a clear violation of league policy. “I’ll take responsibility for that,” said Tannenbaum. “As general manager of this team I should’ve handled that differently and listed him on the report. We didn’t because he wasn’t getting treatment everyday and we knew he was going to play.”
This is an outrage! A disgrace! The Jets were openly flouting league rules and something must be done about it! And not just some slap on the wrist like a $250,000 fine to the team and Eric Mangini having to pay a half a mil and they lose their 1st Round draft pick. I’m talking about serious punishment for the harm they’ve done to the integrity of the league! Mike Tannenbaum should be suspended for the year! They should take away the Super Bowl the Jets won because how do we know they didn’t pull the same stunt with Joe Namath’s injury status back in ’69? I bet John Tomase right now is working on an article about a guy who knows a guy who says he saw BrettFavre’s doctors report. I suspect any minute now Tony Dungy will say “it’s a sad day for the NFL” that the 1 percent like Mike Tannenbaum ruins it for the 99 percent like Belichick who abide by the league injury report rules. And when I think about the competitive advantage this gave the Jets in that game in Foxboro that they won in OT… the one that cost the Pats the AFC East title… I assume everyone will be demanding the Steelers get an asterisk slapped on that Lombardi Trophy they won. But I guess I’ll just have to wait for Arlen Specter to finish the congressional investigation into this terrible stain upon the game.
Oh, wait. Tannenbaum says it was all a big mistake, not cheating. Never mind.
And JT knocks them dead again.

stiles have you ever read a book before?
The glowing hair. The taut tail. The radiant eyes that burn into mine every time I pass by. My heavens, at the risk of overtness, I shan’t control my desires any longer: I must get on the floor with the bitch three offices down, her service-hound duties be damned! Tummy rubs, hither I come.
who gives a shit, quit being suck a pussy and crying about it
Who cares about this.
the two are very comparable great job as always.
You’re right, not telling teams about an injured player is way worse than telling teams a healthy player is injured

Spare me.
Pats will be the last ones bringing this up as they make a total mockery of the weekly injury report… and have for years.
