Brett Favre has 2 ankle fractures; status uncertain for next week

Honestly, if anyone in the league would be tough/stupid enough to play with this injury, it would be Favre.

I don't think the coaches decide if he plays or not in Minnesota...I'm thinking it's Brett's way or no way. THEY crawled down to his house desperate, so he has the power up there.

Since he hasn't been ruled out yet, I expect him to start the game, maybe play the first quarter or two to keep the streak alive, then he'll sit. It would not be the first time that exact same situation has happened in his career. I remember that happening in GB. Favre got hurt. Rodgers came in and got hurt. Next week, Favre started the game with a serious injury.

I remember it because I had Favre in fantasy and got burned.

I don't know if I see Favre starting just to keep a streak alive. If he starts, i think he'll try to finish it.

I think they're blowing the severity of his injury out of proportion in order to make all of his wrangler wearing sycophants ooh and aah at his legendary toughness. It's all about marketing.

I'm betting he plays. He can take a shot to help with the pain. He's still their best QB on the roster.


Without a doubt he's the best of their QB's, the question on the minds of many is, should he be the QB starting for the Vikes at this particular time?

Favre needs to concentrate on getting his body healed, I certainly hope it's not something like the streak that's keeping him alive.

Fractures take a good 4-6 weeks to heal up. Taking a week or two off isn't really going to help him. If he can tough it out I would want him in there.

This continues to end badly for Brett...sexual harrassment and now the streak...to go along with a super poor year stats and record wise. Not good

Bet Randy Moss will wish he was back on the other side of the field this weekend

Hopefully this is the year which makes Favre retired for good...especially if the streak is broken, he has little motivation to return next year.

I wonder if Favre would fight it if Chilly told him he was going to start Jackson this week. Or if he would simply accept it and move on. It is a huge streak, but I believe it should've been over when Favre had that torn bicep in his throwing arm with the Jets. Everybody could tell he wasn't effective, and it should've been diagnosed from the outset and if it had they would've sat him down that season.

If they do start Favre and then switch to Jackson after one series I will lose what little respect I have left for Favre. Just let it end. Nobody's gonna break it. Everybody already recognizes it for what it is. Be a bigger man and sit down for the team.

They could use Jackson's mobility. Defenses are just teeing up on Favre because they know the players will catch Favre from behind.

He plays, he is toast, simple as that. The Vikings FO must be a bunch of frigging morons, for thinking they could rely on Favre to get them to the SB the way his last few years in GB went. Yeah I know he got the Pack to the NFC title game his last year, but the two seasons before then he was crap. Brett needs to heal up and maybe come back later on. I know their season is going in the tank, but if he gets really nailed he will be placed on IR and lights out in December. Idiots got rid of Sage, for Jackson. Shoot, they were better off retaining Gus. Tavaris sucks.
