Jet Favre

Get ready for the NFL's version of the Beverly Hillbillies. Brett Favre is moving from Green Bay to the biggest media market in the country- New York (technically, northern New Jersey). Let's examine some of the lifestyle changes Favre is certain to encounter.

Giants Stadium is mere miles from the Manhattan skyline, and a 5-minute car ride to a major international airport. Lambeau Field is next to a Shopko.

Fans in Green Bay are generally very friendly, well-behaved and supportive. Fans in New York throw snowballs and boo Santa Claus.
