On Wednesday evening, Fox Sports mistakenly reported that Brett Favre was traded, finally, to the New York Jets for a future draft pick. In truth, the Green Bay icon and Madden coverboy was shipped out of Wisconsin for another franchise quarterback in need of a home: Steamin’ Willie Beamen. Favre was traded for the former third-string quarterback of the Miami Sharks who became a starter after an injury to Jack Rooney and lead Miami to a memorable playoff run, after which he joined the Albuquerque Aztecs, an expansion franchise, whom he eventually lead to respectability. Several unnamed Green Bay insiders have pointed to Beamen’s spotted past and ability to cause tension among staff and teammates. To his credit though, Beamen has never strung along an entire franchise and fan-base for consecutive summers as Favre has…and he is clearly an upgrade over the unproven Aaron Rodgers. ”This is a game of inches,” Beaman said at a press conference, “and I will get the Packers those inches.” He added: “F— Brett Favre!”
