Brett Favre vs. Chad Pennington - Bodog Odds

Brett Favre. Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past few months, it would have been almost impossible to escape his name. You see, Favre, the former Packers quarterback and future Hall-of-Famer, has been involved in one of the nastiest feuds with a front office in recent memory.


FAVRE VS. PACKERS

It all started when Favre told the Packers that he was going to retire in the 2008 offseason. A tearful press conference was held, Favre was featured on numerous magazine covers, and the Packers prepared to move on with Aaron Rogers at the helm.

Then, Favre decided that maybe he had retired to soon. You’d think a guy with his money and a hot wife could find something to occupy his time, but apparently not.

When he wanted to return to his old job, the Packers seemed lukewarm about the whole matter, and that’s when things started to spiral out of control. Before it was over, Favre would accuse the organization of lying to the fans, and the Packers would end up hiring a former White House press secretary to oversee spin control.


OUT WITH THE OLD…IN WITH THE OLDER

After weeks and weeks of wrangling, the Packers were finally able to trade Favre to the New York Jets. This spelled curtains for Chad Pennington, the former starting quarterback who had all but lost his job to backup Kellen Clemens.

Favre was immediately named the starter, and Pennington was released. But he didn’t have to wait long, as Bill Parcells, the man who originally drafted him and current GM of the Dolphins, signed him on to lead their team.

The football gods were surely smiling, as the NFL schedule just so happened to have the Dolphins vs. the Jets during the first week of the season. Suddenly, a game nobody gave a damn about is shaping up to be one of the most highly-anticipated matches of the season.
