EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Brett Favre will have an MRI exam today on his ailing right shoulder. The procedure will help the 39-year-old quarterback decide whether he'll return for his 19th NFL season.
The New York media has pounced after the Jets' 24-17 season-ending loss to the Miami Dolphins yesterday.
A sportswriter in the New York Daily News says that unfortunately for Favre and the Jets, what started out as a marriage made in heaven in August ended in heartbreak and bitter disappointment. Newsday columnist Bob Glauber says Favre "provided more proof that he is finished as an NFL quarterback."
Favre helped the Jets double their win total this season. But, he and the team slumped badly after an 8-3 start and talk of a possible Super Bowl appearance. He finished with 3,472 yards passing, but threw 22 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.
