Washington Post: Will Favre Start Next Sunday?

From what I understand, this injury is still manageable with some treatment (ie: meds) and an ankle brace. His mobility will be limited, of course, but I didn’t think he was very mobile to begin with. The only cause for concern would be does he want to risk making it worse, which I don’t think will bother him much.

I hope he plays and does not get hurt further.

to the radio and Cowherd said that Chilly was going to sit him — to “protect him from himself”

if he thinks he might actually get suspended. I doubt Favre wants to be remembered as the Iron Man Whose Streak Was Broke Because of his Penis.

If he doesn’t think he’ll be suspended, then expect him to play. Unless Childress tries to wrest back control of his team by benching Favre for a week or two. Minnesota has so much talent it’s not like they can’t win with T-Jack – who took the Vikings to the playoffs before Harvin and Moss and before Edwards and Greenway had emerged as playmakers. He doesn’t look pretty doing it, but he can win games.

What the vikes will do… But on a really bum ankle and behind a porous OL he was already getting pounded on pretty well. With a broken ankle and heal it will limit his mobility (or lack thereof) even more!

As much as I like the idea of his streak being ended by the Packers, I almost like the idea of him continuing to get PUMMELED on even more!!! Can you just imagine the utter beating he would take w/ NO mobility whatsoever?!! LOL

“You wanted Brett, now you got Brett”. I know this would never happen seeing as it would be dumb for a guy like Jackson to waste an opportunity to prove himself but it would be highly fitting seeing as how this organization and it’s fans has basically taken a giant crap on him despite the team making the playoffs his first year and only year starting. Now after all the calls for Brett Favre and even Sage Rosenfels, they want Tavaris in thinking he might possibly save their season that their supposed Messiah seems to be willingly flushing down the toilet.

After Favre hurt his elbow and shoulder in November 2007, he had a week and a half until the Packers played a then-weak Oakland team at Lambeau Field (who they clobbered 38-7).

This time around, he’s got a short week and the Vikings go on the road to New England (which is never an easy place to play). Will he play? I suppose I’ll have to wait until Sunday afternoon to find out.

Peter king has an article at si.com in which a orthopedic doc says the ankle injury is nothing but a “glorified ankle sprain” that the Viqueens are manipulating into something much worse. He implies that you don’t have to be Superman to play with that injury.

I think that they’re playing the “healing miracle” card to get everyone fired up for the Hoodie.
