MONDAY: BRETT'S SURGERY DAY

[woodbuck27]

I hope he gets into town ok. We just got hit with a major snow storm. As of about 5 pm tonight I just happened to go by his house and he wasn't in town yet. The foot of snow was still in his driveway.....

Does he shovel, snowblow, or plow it? If I had to bet, he seems like a shoveler to me.

He's got the money,talent,versatility and time to do all three.

Packers QB Favre finally has ankle surgery Click here to find out more!
NFL.com wire reports


GREEN BAY, Wis. (Feb. 26, 2007) -- Packers quarterback Brett Favre had minor ankle surgery and is expected to recover in time for offseason workouts.

Favre, who plans to return for his 17th NFL season, has been bothered for several years by a buildup of bone spurs in his left ankle. He kept putting off the procedure, and skipped out on a previously scheduled surgery Jan. 1.

"The procedure went as expected and he is recovering at this time," Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. "We expect no complications and that he will be cleared to participate in offseason workouts similar to his schedule in 2006."

Favre had surgery on the same ankle after a similar problem in 1995.

Favre said the week before the Packers' Dec. 31 season finale in Chicago that the pain was worse in practice because in games, you just "suck it up and go."

"I don't want to sound like John Wayne," Favre said. "It's not, 'Favre's walking around with knives sticking in his foot.' It's painful at times, but there's a lot of people who go through similar things."

Even with his past struggles with addiction to prescription painkillers, Favre said at the time that he could have taken medicine to dull the pain last year -- but he didn't.

"I guess I could, if it really came down to it," Favre said. "But that wouldn't help in this case. Because when I wake up in the morning, it takes me, I don't know, a while just to move around and all that stuff. But once I get going during the day, it's tolerable. And to take them during the game, which I never did before, that wouldn't be worth it."

If I was the doc I would sell the bone chips on eBay.

Is it asking too much to ask #4 to have a season like he did after the last surgery?

Just curious, why wasn't it performed earlier?? Anyone know?

What does it matter. Supposed to be good to go long before the first mini-camp. It's just bone spurs.

I heard on the fan today that it will be iffy. Johnny Gray had the same surgery and he said it is awfully painful to play with and Brett should be able to move much better than he did before. He said it was like walking on pins.

Brett actually said he would do it (sell the bone spurs) through his foundation, but didn't think Deanna would go for it!

Per the GB Fox station, all is well with Brett - they actually interviewed Deanna.
