Jets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Brett Favre doesn't really want to think about what happens after this season is over. But he doesn't have much of a choice, because everyone keeps asking the Jets quarterback about it.
"I haven't even thought about it," Favre said Wednesday when the possibility of playing for the Jets in 2009 was brought up. "I played last week (at New England) like I expect to play. I played at a high level, but that's what they brought me in here to do. I expect to play like that every week, and hope to. I have people, friends, family, who ask me all the time about next year. The answer I give them, which is the honest answer, is I really don't know. I really don't know and to be totally honest with you, I really don't care.

Next season not even a thought for Jets' Favre (AP)Brett Favre is having too much fun leading the first-place New York Jets to even think about next season.

Steelers try to cover spread this week (AP) The fans who bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers last week were done a disservice by the zebras, although the NFL's apology for the bad call never mentioned that it kept the Steelers from covering the spread.
