His 'pre-retirement' investment in the New York Jets, almost became the feel good story of the year.

Yet, the collapse just weeks before the start of the NFL post-season brought an end to the AFC East title dream.

Now with the departure of Favre, the Jets have been left without a star studded quarterback leading the charge.
