Green Living (pick your shade)

This weekend there will be a couple of shades of green being worn by players in the NFL that have never donned them before. For 16 years, Brett Favre wore Packer Green as the main color on his jersey in Green Bay, Wisconsin. For 9 years, Chad Pennington wore Gang Green as the main color on his jersey in New York, NY. Tomorrow, September 7th, 2008, Mr. Pennington will be wearing the new shade of Teal Green in sunny Miami, Florida for the Dolphins, while playing against Mr. Favre wearing the previously mentioned Gang Green for the Jets. To even further the confusion and deep rooted storyline, the Dolphins and Jets are rival teams in the same division. So, here it goes, Brett retired from the NFL all together, then came back to play for the Packers again, but they didn't want him so they traded him to New York, who then released the popular yet short armed Chad who was immediatley picked up by the enemy Dolphins, who are coincidentally managed by the man who drafted Pennington, Bill Parcells. Interesting chain of events huh? At 1pm this Sunday, for the first time in NFL history, two quarterbacks who were basically traded for eachother will meet for the opening game of the season starting against eachother.
