Jets get off day so Mangini can meet with Favre?

Eric Mangini gave the Jets an unexpected day off from training camp Monday, sending conspiracy theorists into a frenzy: Did he clear his schedule for a clandestine meeting with Brett Favre? Not according to the Jets.

The reason for the day off, a team spokesman said, was based on giving the players a mental and physical break from the rigors of camp. Camp is only five days old (six practices), but Mangini is applying what he learned during off-season research on physical training and recovery, the spokesman said.

From all indications, the Jets remain interested in Favre, but the interest appears limited and a trade seems unlikely. They've talked to the Packers and Favre's agent, but they reportedly haven't talked directly to Favre.

    Who gives a @#%$! Tired of bret and manny being manny. Both should shut up and play for the deals that "they signed". Bret, you don't want to be the backup? then go outplay Rodgers in camp and shut up. Manny, you spoiled piece of crap, shut up and play for the contract you agreed to play for!!
