Peter King blast Jets fans
Favre didn't get fan support he's used to
Favre didn't get fan support he's used to

Posted Aug 18, 2008

Peter King, in his "MMQB" column, blasted Jets fans for the poor attendence on Saturday night for Brett Favre's debut.

"I think I don't want to hear what great fans the Jets have," wrote King on SI.com. "Not for a long time. That crowd Saturday night was a disgrace. At least half the stadium was empty for Favre's debut in a Jets' uniform. I expressed my amazement to a few fellow scribes Saturday night -- emphasizing that N.Y. traded for an all-time-great quarterback, not a broken-down one -- and they gave varying reasons for the poor turnout. Like it's the middle of vacation month for New Yorkers, and it's a preseason game. Horsefeathers. If you really love your team, and you have season tickets, you should have been at that game unless you were in Tibet. Ridiculous."
