The Brett Favre saga in Green Bay had the guys on ESPN Radio yesterday morning discussing the possibility of the all-pro
quarterback playing for another team next season if he comes out of his short retirement.
Mike Greenberg then asked the listening audience which professional player would seem the strangest playing in another uniform. That is to say, for a different team.
The final four included New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter, San Antonio Spurs Tim Duncan, New England Patriots’ Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning.
Who do you think of these four would be the most likely—or unlikely—to play for another team during their career?

Most unlikely - Payton Manning
Peyton (with an E people, with an E) will never toy with an organization like that. He is so methodical and detailed in everything he does, he has a master plan and he is sticking to it. He'll play until his late 30s or 40 max and step away a football god making sure the Colts have someone worthy to try to step in for him. He's signed on for way too long and we've been as good to him as he's been to us. While Favre has had a similar devotion with his team/fans... he's gone about his business in a more 'in the moment' way as he has his whole career, which makes Favre the likable QB he is, but in this situation he could have handled it much more professionally.
