It's fair now to wonder if Monday night was the postscript on Brett Favre's career. The thrill of the rainbow touchdown pass to Randy Moss, the crushing disappointment of the pick-six to essentially end the game, the personal life drama that obsesses the tabloids these days - all of it playing out just outside New York. The Minnesota Vikings aren't particularly good right now and maybe won't be this fall and winter, so the loss to the Jets felt like the beginning of a slow exit, if not a formal goodbye.

When the wildcat delivered a big play for the Miami Dolphins, coach Tony Sparano skipped along the sideline with glee, reached back and threw a roundhouse punch. That was just in the first quarter. The knockout came much later, again with the wildcat.
