The Facts:
If Favre wants to play another year with the Jets, he'll have to work a lot harder to win over his teammates than he did this season. "There was a lot of resentment in the room about him," a Jets player told Newsday yesterday. "He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone," the player said. Asked to describe Favre in a word, he said: "Distant."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Newsday staffer Arthur Staple, the unnamed player explained that Favre made no effort to ingratiate himself with the already assembled team upon arrival in August. The player said Favre spent most of his down time at the practice facility in an office specially designated for him near the equipment room, not with teammates in the locker room, even after the media departed. ... Also worth noting, a FOXSports.com report Sunday said Favre wasn't happy being called out by then-HC Eric Mangini in front of the team, as the coach did with all of his players when they made mistakes. But the Jet who requested anonymity said that didn't seem to be the case.
