Rex Ryan stepped to the podium and announced that he expects his team to meet President Obama in the next few years as Super Bowl winners. It was the start of an entertaining and feisty press conference from a coach who clearly doesn’t lack confidence and learned a number of lessons from his father, Buddy. Ryan was not as confident on other burning topics. While saying that “Anybody would want Brett Favre to be their quarterback,” he did add, “All the particulars we’ll get into later. The rest of it, I’m not prepared to answer.” He mentioned assistants from Eric Mangini’s staff who would be joining his, but admitted he still needs to talk to Brian Schottenheimer.

When ESPN secured this game for Monday Night Football, the network couldn't have dreamed that it would be a Brett Favre showcase. It also wouldn't have bet that the Chargers would be 0-2 after losing two of the most heart-wrenching games possible. The 1-1 Jets will be facing a team that all but needs a win to keep its season alive.
