Brett Farve announced through one of his live-in ESPN reporters that he would need ankle surgery if he wanted to play in 2010. Via Pro Football Talk:
Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder that his left ankle, which he injured in the NFC Championship Game, has continued to be painful and swollen for months. Favre visited Dr. James Andrews, who told him surgery will be unavoidable if he wants to play again.
Favre indicated that he doesn't want the surgery but that he might have it because of his affection for the Vikings and his belief that they can win the Super Bowl.
Does anyone doubt he is playing in 2010 and was all along? This is just the beginning of his latest attempt to "overcome the odds." I can already hear Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico on Monday Night Football talking about the offseason trials and tribulations Brett had to deal with...
The only thing more dramatic then Favre's back and forth is when Anthony and I attempt some kind of home/yard project together. The drama there involves whether we can actually get the project done in between sports arguments. If he would just admit he is wrong, everything would move much faster.
Don't let Bird fool you. He loves Favre and his drama.

A certain amount of Favre news is necessary to keep John Madden's libido functioning - no public Favre, no Madden wood.
