Take that, Becks

Everything is right with the world now.
As stupid as Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers front office looked through the long ordeal of Favre's un-retirement, the best possible solution was worked out late Wednesday night when Favre was traded to the New York Jets for a conditional 2009 draft pick.
Why am I so pleased with this outcome? The reasons are quite simple:

• It finally gives Aaron Rodgers the shot he deserves at showing he's a quality NFL starting quarterback. Look no further than Tony Romo to see that the bench guy today is the future of your franchise.
• Brett Favre gets to play football, lest his ego go unsatisfied while waiting for the key grip or prop master grill him for autographs while doing another Wrangler commercial.
• Wisconsin gets to sober up and realize there's life after Brett.
• New York tabloids get to throw around funny headlines like "Jet Favre."
• NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can go back to suspending minorities at the drop of a hat and ignoring the fact that the Adam Formerly Known As Pacman has served his year off and still hasn't received reinstatement.
• America sticks it to Britain once again.
  

Wait.... what?
That's right, Favre to New York is a slap in the face to footballer extraordinaire David Beckham. Remember how big a deal it was that Becks and his Spicewife Victoria were coming to America for him to kick around a ball in soccer-sized stadiums across the country? The Favre drama easily eclipses it.

Let's examine:

• Beckham went to LA. Favre went to New York. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
• Beckham has no World Cup wins. Favre has a Super Bowl win. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
• Beckham was washed-up upon going to Hollywood. Favre is washed-up upon going to the Big Apple. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE (Beckham was washed up at 32; Favre is 38)
• Beckham is married to Posh Spice. Favre is not. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
• Favre is on the cover of Madden 09. John Madden doesn't even know what soccer is, let alone who this bloke Beckham is. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
• People expect Beckham to win. People expect Favre to find a quality nursing home in the next few years. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
• Favre now faces off against Tom Brady twice each year. Beckham gets his mani/pedicures at the same salon as Tom Brady. ADVANTAGE: FAVRE
