From Tiny Tony Wisconsin to New York City

Goldy will be thrilled with this story. Rex Ryan has brought his safety, Jim Leonhard, to New York with him to play safety for the Jets.

A couple of solid quotes from Ryan:

"Jim Leonhard is special," Ryan said. "No. 1, he looks like the guy delivering papers. He really is a smart player. He has a lot of poise. He's very sure of himself."

And:

"For some reason he gets saddled because he's short, but this guy's an outstanding athlete. He won two slam-dunk contests at the University of Wisconsin. He's an outstanding punt returner. I've always said he could catch a punt in a hurricane."

I didn't know the slam dunk contest story made it all the way to the NFL coaching circles. Not sure how we missed that one last week when we were recounting the cliches that announcers like to throw out on broadcasts when discussing UW athletes.

And it seems like Rex is contributing to the "he gets saddled because he's short" issue when he calls him a paperboy. But congratulations, Jim. We'll see how good you are in the NFL now that Ed Reed isn't lining up next to you.

Favre a Jet...HA!

Wow...ok, Brett Favre is a Jet.

Enjoy that Brett, seriously. Enjoy going to the Jets and drawing comparisons to the late careers of Boomer Esiason and the great Vinny Testaverde. Enjoy the New York Media. Enjoy the cold of New York instead of the cold of Green Bay. Enjoy learning a completely different offense that you have never seen after admitting you can't "put in the time anymore" during the grind of an NFL regular season. Enjoy throwing passes to Erroneous Coles.

See you in the Super Bowl Brett. We'll beat you then, and then take a first round draft pick.

I have no idea how this is all going to work out, on both the Packers' end and the Jets' end. But if somebody would have told you 4 months ago that Brett Favre would be a New York Jet for the 2008 season you would have been laughed at.

Ie...this is just laughable.

Good luck Brett! New York Jets Quarterback!
