Everything that I've heard on ESPN and whatnot about the ankle surgery that Brett Favre needs to apparently have in order to play next season sounds very familiar to me. Scar tissue and calcium deposits that need to be removed, that have built up after ankle injuries? Had that same surgery almost a year ago. I couldn't put any weight on my ankle for 6 weeks, was back at 70% or so after 3 months, and I'm just getting to 100% after almost a year. And I'm 21 years old. He's almost twice my age. Granted he has more resources and the best PT available, his body is still 40 years old.
Knowing this Favre song and dance, he'll take his good sweet time to make his decision. Should he decide on getting the surgery, it will probably be scheduled so he can have an excuse to miss off-season workouts and OTAs. If that's the case, he'll likely be no better than 70-80% by Week 1. The only reason that Favre was successful last season is because everything worked out in his favor. 2010 will be the law of averages, Brett. Save yourself the trouble and hang 'em up - for good.
