Farve update

Brett Favre has been informed he requires surgery on his left ankle to play the upcoming season for the Minnesota Vikings, and the quarterback is deliberating whether to have the procedure or simply to end his 19-year NFL career by retiring.

“ http://a.espncdn.com/i/headshots/nfl/players/65/112.jpg This decision would be easy if not for my teammates and the fans and the entire Vikings staff. One year truly felt like 10 -- much like Green Bay for many years. That's what I was missing in my heart I suppose, a sense of belonging.
” -- Brett Favre in an e-mail to ESPN

Favre, who would turn 41 during the 2010 season, told ESPN the ankle injury that he suffered three months ago in the NFC Championship Game against the New Orleans Saints continues to be swollen and painful.
That prompted tests to determine why healing had not occurred and Favre sent the results of those scans to orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, who told the quarterback his opinion that surgery is unavoidable.
"We have spoken,'' Favre said in an e-mail. "To play again, I would need the surgery, as I suspected. This decision would be easy if not for my teammates and the fans and the entire Vikings staff. One year truly felt like 10 -- much like Green Bay for many years. That's what I was missing in my heart I suppose, a sense of belonging.''
Favre said he must determine whether his affection for the Vikings and his belief they are capable of winning the Super Bowl overrides his disdain for surgery.
Favre would not reveal the exact diagnosis or the prognosis on how long it would take to recover from the surgery.
While it previously seemed Favre was almost certain to return to the Vikings, his comments Friday reveal a player who appears to be seriously conflicted.

Seifert on Favre

Favre was in a similar position last offseason, when Andrews repaired a partially torn biceps tendon in his throwing shoulder.
Favre eventually decided to play, missing all of training camp before signing a two-year contract with the Vikings worth $25 million.
Favre had the best statistical season of his career and advanced the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game in the Superdome, where he was brutalized by the Saints defense. His final pass of the season was intercepted with the Vikings in scoring position and seemingly poised to win the game.
Instead, Favre's pass for Sidney Rice was intercepted in the final minutes, and the Vikings were defeated in overtime without Favre touching the football.
Favre appeared emotionally devastated after the loss and said it was highly unlikely he would play again. Now his future remains very much in doubt once more.

Re: Farve update
 

This sucks, I hope he stays. We don't have a snowball's chance in hell with T-Joke.

Re: Farve update
 

Life is going to suck without Favre playin for the vikings. I hope he comes back!

Re: Farve update
 

Shoulda drafted a QB when we had the chance...

Re: Farve update
 

Farve is just a bit touchy-feely.

Re: Farve update
 

We should pick up Micheal Vick.

Re: Farve update
 

He does love to slap ass ha ha

Re: Farve update
 

He'll play, or we would have drafted someone.

Re: Farve update
 

ESPN doesn't know what they're talking about - http://www.officialbrettfavre.com/

From the horse's mouth, bitches.

Re: Farve update
 

Ed Werder is a moron anyways, all his stories do nothing but attempt to stir the pot. And he is a big Cowgirls nutswinger...

Re: Farve update
 

Opener in New Orleans; should be fun :)

Re: Farve update
 

Thanks for reminding me, I'll have to save up some pennies to payban you and Viscous for that whole week :D

Re: Farve update
 

I should charge a premium during certain weeks just like sporting event tickets depending on who's playing.

Re: Farve update
 

Well considering the draft was last Thursday - Saturday, it is kind of hard to predict the future...

Re: Farve update
 

Awesome sounds like it's not that bad!

Re: Farve update
 

I'm hoping he comes back.

Re: Farve update
 

he will be back

Re: Farve update
 

I <3 Favre.

Not Farve though, which is in the title. :)

Re: Farve update
 

UGH i fail!!

Re: Farve update
 

Bye bye :)

Re: Farve update
 

He'll be back, he just does this shit to get out of training camp and to build some suspense and drama in the media. KARE11....Oh shit theres gonna be a blizzard...lol (only Chris and I get this).

Re: Farve update
 

Im with you on this one. Farve is going to come back, and show New Orleans what a real hurricane looks like.

Re: Farve update
 

LOL exactly why I use KARE11 when linking to MN news stories :D

Re: Farve update
 

Re: Farve update
 

They created the same drama last year during training camp. Childress is going to "talk" to him and he'll magically show up at the first game.

Re: Farve update
 

Childress is holding a press conference at 11:10am today. :(

Re: Farve update
 

hughesch: he's an old man
bones are probably getting brittle
me: NO I WONT BELIEVE IT
hughesch: denial
me: and the brittle old man still dominated the cowgirls

Re: Farve update
 

Fuk the drama, wait until the season starts and see what happens. It's just football people :P

Re: Farve update
 

Re: Farve update
 

I like the drama, it keeps me excited throught the season.

Re: Farve update
 

He'll be back, just not for training camp. I mean come on, first game against New Orleans right off the bat. Couldn't ask for more!

Re: Farve update
 

not only that, but the New Orleans coach was calling him out saying they were gonna beat him like last season.

Re: Farve update
 

Anyone want to start up the same $10 payban bet we had last season for the Vikings vs. Saints game?

Re: Farve update
 

If favres in, im in.

Re: Farve update
 

Nope, take the bet as-is now and put your faith in your team of choice or walk. I'd say at this points it's a 50/50 chance he'll be playing so it's basically even for both sides of the bet.

Re: Farve update
 

This is playing out exactly like last year. LOL

Re: Farve update
 

You're negativity is that of an ICP fanboy, get's old.

Hopefully he comes back, I'd like to see him make another shot at it. Especially considering that he was one of, if not the best QB in the league.

Re: Farve update
 

Insane Clown Posse?

Re: Farve update
 

LOL how am I negative? I just love getting Tom all riled up. Are you still butthurt about last season or what? Posting a link and asking if people want to make a wager is about as neutral as statements come.
