One of the most durable football players in the league just announced that he needs ankle surgery at the end of the season. This would be normal for any football player but from this guy is definitely the abnormal.  Brett Favre told reporters today that he will need surgery at the end of the season. The question at the end of the season is his announcement of retirement? Brett Favre has played in more consecutive games than any football player in NFL history, and what makes it really surprising is that he is a quarterback.  Every season the league has at least 3 starting quarterbacks go down and miss some games this guy just seems to know how to play hurt.
Every football player wants to leave on his owns terms and not by injury, but what really happens is they hold on to long because they have nothing else to do.  Well Brett will have plenty to do he already has a Super Bowl ring two MVP trophies and most of the quarterback records in the league, so what does he play for? The Green Bay Packers are a young team maybe two years away from the playoffs, if he continues to play behind this young line who knows it may not be an ankle but maybe a knee that goes out. Please let’s start a website for Brett Favre asking him to retire.
