But Im sure as hell happy we don't have to deal with the 'will he or wont he retire'

'Hes retired..but will he unretire?' Talk.

But the Daily News has learned that Favre had an MRI earlier in the season and did not have one Monday. The earlier MRI didn't reveal any major damage, although it seems likely something is wrong since Favre said his right arm has been bothering him.

Favre has had some problem with his shoulder all season, he was sore coming out of training camp. What would you expect from a 39-year-old who is not in top shape?

Yet we didn't hear about the shoulder when his team was flying high.

I think Favre has reverted to drama queen mode. His quote to the media:
"It hurts in the back [of the shoulder], hurts down in the biceps and, occasionally, in my neck," Favre said. "Other than that, it's fine."

Then he says that his retirement will hinge completely on the results of this latest MRI, thus highlighting the importance of his condition. Give me a break. So now his poor performance can be blamed completely on a bad shoulder.

I am so glad the Packers don't have to be at the center of this continuing drama anymore. I think the team that came out the best from last fall's saga was the Vikings. Talk about dodging a bullet.

If you want a valid explanation of why he threw so many interceptions at the end of the season, do a brain scan, not a shoulder MRI. You watched the last game, despite his shoulder problem, Favre was still able to throw the ball a lot farther and harder than Chad Pennington. The interceptions were mental errors.

This year we all relax and watch the show from the bleachers.

It will be easier this way.

If Favre thought he was under pressure last offseason from MM and TT and whether or not to retire he will be under a lot more pressure in the next couple months to make a decision on whether or not to play. It's Favre's crappy performance that cost Mangini his job. Favre should appreciate the amount of time he was given by TT in past years to make his annual "to play or not to play" decision.

Yeah........I think that's a statement we could get a concensus on.

You sure you wanna relax? I could start a "Will Aaron come back for one more year?" thread.

This just in... Aaron Rodgers has decided he WILL report to MC as the starting QB next season. No need to start a thread about it. We'll just post it in the Brett Favre thread. Seems fitting.

though I consider some of the sourcing to ESPN fairly dubious, they are reporting Favre had a torn biceps tendon and some calcification in the area.

According to the article "Favre is expected to deliberate for several weeks". How long is several? Think we'll hear from him before March?

Hey, now the New Yorkers will know what it's like to go through that soap opera!

If he has a torn bicep, his bad performance the past several weeks should be forgiven. What a man.

If he had a torn biceps and realized how much he was struggling and hurting the team, he shouldn't have tried to tough it out. What an idiot.

A. He probably didn't know
B. What is the other option? Go with some inexperienced chump and have your team lose games anyway?!? I don't think so..

Days of our Favre continues...

I really wish Jets would've given a timetable (say, within 2 weeks of the new coach being hired we need an answer).
