I agree with most of this, the only thing I disagree on is that I would put Sage Rosenfels in for Tarvaris JacksonAt this point I really don't care but part of me really does want to see all the drama surrounding a Favre trip to Green Bay...wearing purple.
As a Minnesota fan I am also torn. Obviously Favre joining the Vikings would bring way more attention to the team but at the same time, I am not confident that Favre would help this team win any more than Tarvaris Jackson can.
I have never been a fan of Favre, always felt as though he was over-rated. T-Jack posted better numbers during the final 8 games of the '08 regular season than Favre did & though I get mad at him...I believe Jackson is our best chance at winning.
Brett Favre will meet with renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday in Alabama to discuss surgery on his throwing shoulder expected to be performed later this week, the St. Paul Pioneer Press has reported.
Rehabilitation from the surgery, which will release a partially torn biceps tendon in Favre's right arm, would be six to eight weeks, the report said.
Favre, 39, consulted with Andrews last week, a source told ESPN. According to the Pioneer Press, Favre then missed another scheduled appointment with Andrews.
The biceps tendon release is a routine procedure which, if successful in alleviating Favre's shoulder pain, would allow him to be ready to fully participate in football activities by training camp.
It would afford Favre the simplest and most efficient measure of evaluating how much the biceps was responsible for the pain he experienced last season.
According to the Pioneer Press report, there are other suspected sources of pain in Favre's shoulder. Although it wasn't clear what those were, rotator cuff involvement often accompanies biceps tendon injuries in throwers.
The report further indicates Favre's intent to consider signing with the Minnesota Vikings despite announcing his retirement with the New York Jets after last season.
The Jets subsequently released Favre from his contract, making him a free agent and giving him the option of signing with any team.
