I have always been a big fan of Brett Favre. I'm glad he is still playing in the NFL at the age of 41. He can be perceived as a prima-dona, especially since he left Green Bay.
He has his problems off the field, but this week he is facing his greatest challenge with the two stress fractures in his ankle. This is a huge threat to his record of 291 consecutive game starts. I really admire his streak. I hope it doesn't end.
Ironically, it's become a story and now we are on the Brett watch for Sunday. Will he or won't he play? I never thought it would come to this, but Father Time can be cruel to athletes.
If he plays Sunday, can he be effective with his elbow and ankle problems? The Vikings are betting their season on him.
We have been spoiled in New England with the likes of Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe for the last 17 seasons. It's tough to find a great QB.
As Coach Belichick has often said, "Nobody plays this game forever", although Favre has 15 million reasons to drag himself out on the field.
