Yesterday the Saint Paul Pioneer Press reported that Brett Favre was scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews and expected to have surgery on his torn bicep and after a 6-8 week rehabilitation sign with the Vikings. Well like there has been before in the Brett Favre retirement saga there is another contradictory report.
ESPN’s Ed Werder, citing a unnamed source, reported that Brett Favre will not meet with Dr. James Andrews today and is not considering surgery at this time. He also said that Favre met with Andrews last week and discussed surgical and non surgical options. Favre has decided to try cortisone injections, bicep curls, and light throwing and hop that it causes the tendon to release naturally. If that happens and the pain decreases then Favre will almost certainly play again according to the source. If the pain doesn’t go away or he opts for surgery and loses arm strength he will likely stay retired. Either way Werder expects a resolution soon with Favre losing patience.
These recent conflicting reports have left in the same position we have been in for the past coupe of weeks. We’ll probably get a new set of conflicting reports regarding Favre soon maybe even tomorrow so don’t go anywhere. Regardless of what happens I hope this saga ends soon. I’m sick and tired of it and at this point I could care less what Brett decides to do. It’s turned into a soap opera and it been like this for three years in a row. So Brett make up your mind and please spare us all of listening to this garbage any longer.
