New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings | featured news

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was fined $50,000 Wednesday by the National Football League for failing to cooperate with an internal investigation into whether he sent sexually explicit texts to a New York Jets hostess.

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.
