Willie Mays on the Mets
Keith Hernandez on the Indians
Joe Namath on the Rams
Steve Carlton on the Indians/Twins/White Sox
Jerry Rice on the Seahawks (bet you forgot that one)
And now…..Brett Favre on the Jets
Favre joins a list of once good or great players that ended their career with the wrong team, in a bad way… all because their ego was too big.
Does it diminish their achievements? Not at all. But it does stain the memory we have of their career.
Who else would you add to this list?

montana & chiefs
ruth & braves
Ruth on the Braves I should have had that as the worst example – good call.
I wouldn’t put Montana and the Chiefs on the list – he played well for a few seasons in KC.
Duke Snider (and a bunch of others) on the 62 Mets are good examples
Trottier on the Penguins
Gillies on the Sabres
not sure if these are worthy, but I remember being crushed seeing these guys in non-Isles jerseys (and not the fisherman ones)
