It was, as they say, one for the ages in Arizona tonight as the Cardinals took on the Green Bay Packers in what turned out to be the most exciting post-season match-up thus far this season. When all was said and done, the Cardinals pulled off a victory in an offensive slug-fest that dragged into overtime and ended with a staggering final score of 45-51.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

A week ago I posted that I thought the Jets had no shot of getting Brett Favre. Well a lot has changed in a week, as now the Jets are apparently one of two teams given permission to speak with Favre. The Jets have not yet done so, but they have talked to his agent Bus Cook and seem to be holding out in case the Packers drop their asking price. I agree with this strategy, as I would not give up a first or second round draft pick (which Green Bay is asking for) for a player who may only play for a year or two more. But if Green Bay gets so desperate that they are willing to accept a third round pick, even a conditional one that can become a second rounder if Favre leads the Jets to the playoffs, I would pull the trigger.

Amongst a busy week in the life of The Moneyball- I did have to comment on this topic.
Favre leaving the Packers to me is like Derek Jeter leaving the Yankees, Magic Johnson leaving the Lakers, or Cal Ripken Jr. leaving the Orioles.

Why is that whenever someone retires or is having a great career, the first question we all ask is, “where does he rank among the all-time greats?” Why must we always be looking at the historic side of things? LeBron is not the next Michael Jordan and we don’t know if he will be a better all-time player so why worry about it. Can’t we just enjoy LeBron for what he is? Alex Rodriguez is on pace to break every major home run record but I don’t understand why we always have to look at the big picture. From now on I am going to watch A-Rod for today and that’s all. When he hits a homer I am not going to wonder if that was 530 or 531 for his career, I will only care about it how many he has hit that season and if it helped the Yankees win. That is why I will not worry where Brett Favre ranks among the best quarterbacks in NFL history. No, I will just remember the career of Brett because whether you think he is better than John Elway or not you must admit, he was special.
