Hours after the press conference, Mets General Manager Omar Minaya assured disgruntled Mets fans that he did everything he could to sign then-retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre.
"I'm always looking for ways to make this team better. ", said Minaya, "If there's a talented player out there, you can be sure we're gonna try to get him."
When reached for comment, Favre expressed his doubts in converting to baseball this late in his career.
"I gave this a lot of thought," said Favre while surrounded by his Imperial Guard, "I made repeated attempts at leaping over the outfield wall in a celebratory fashion, but no dice. That thing is quite high, and let's face it, I'm not exactly too spry anymore."
Minaya also announced he will be bulldozing those walls to the ground later this week, although he emphasized that this move was totally unrelated to the failed Favre deal.
"With the team we have now, these goddamn fences are just too much trouble. We're going to make it more of a fan-friendly environment."
