Former Giant quarterback Scott Brunner lived in Cranbury for a while and now it appears — at least according to sportswriter Bob Mantz:
Broadway Brett Favre will possibly return to the New York Jets for a second season, sources tell the Blitz.
The Blitz was told that Favre has been shopping for million dollar homes in the central New Jersey area of Cranbury and East Windsor / Princeton.
Favre either really likes New Jersey or is leaning towards a second year with the Jets. We lean (and hope) towards the latter.
Newsday’s Bob Glauber, however, is a bit dubious:
Not sure what to make of this. I had heard a few weeks back that Favre had bought a home in Tewksbury, N.J. When I asked him about it, he said he had not. In fact, he remarked how expensive homes were in the area. He is currently renting a home in Morristown, N.J.
Favre is known to be thrifty. Laveranues Coles recently pointed out that Favre has been wearing the same pair of camoflauge shorts to practice just about all season.
As for Favre’s future plans, I don’t think he has made any definitive decision. In fact, had Mantz written that sources indicate Favre is leaning toward retiring after this season, he’d have just as good a chance at being right.
btw, Favre hates traffic in NY/NJ. If he were to move to Princeton area, it’d take him a minimum of about an hour (without traffic) to get to Jets’ training facility.)
As for Cranbury being in the “Princeton area,” I think if you asked people who live in Cranbury they’d tell you that Princeton is in the Cranbury area.
My party overheard a conversation at the Cranbury Inn that Favre had been looking at houses off of N. Main St. in Cranbury and down into East Windsor.
