It is a different world these days, as we all know. Which may partially explain the hubbub over what to do with Brett Favre's locker.
With Favre's legend casting a massive shadow in Green Bay, the team decided to ship Favre's locker to Mississippi, rather than have it serve as a makeshift shrine that might ultimately cause bad vibes for successor Aaron Rodgers.
Back in the old days - you know, like three or four year ago - this would not have been that big a deal. It's not unusual for teams to keep the lockers of legendary players unoccuppied, or else somehow make it special. It's what the Giants did with the lockers of Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor.

Minutiae????
Well, it's not huge news, Islander505, but it is Brett Favre's locker and it is an interesting item.
Far more interesting, say, than another Newsday reporter "breaking the news" that MetLife is sponsoring one of four corners in a Jets/Giants stadium that will open in 2010.
MetLife is now working corners like Avon and Marlo? What's next?
