Brett Favre about to destroy your football-related memories with child-like enthusiasm

ESPN is reporting today that Brett Favre will "likely" have surgery later this week on his ailing throwing shoulder. The rehab would take six to eight weeks, which oh-by-the-way would have him healthy enough to join a new team for training camp, as well as un-retire for the 756th time in the past two years. Maybe it’s possible that good ol’ Favre is doing this as a precautionary move so his arm is 100 percent ready to shoot another Wrangler’s spot, but all indications point to this meaning he’ll soon be signing with the Vikings—you know, the Packers most hated rival, and the team he and his agent told everyone a month ago he had no desire to play for.

Not that Favre's agent Bus Cook appears to have any clue what's going on with his client. There he was again this weekend telling the media that "there's absolutely no substance to all the speculation" about Favre's return. Yeah, this is making about as much sense as usual.

There was a time not so long ago when Favre could have literally burned down Lambeau Field and been forgiven, but someone needs to grab him by his washed-up shoulders and tell him his childish feud with Ted Thompson is a slap in the face to every Packers’ fan who’s ever supported him. At this point, we’re simply tired. Just do it and put us out of our misery, but know that those Vikings games October 5 and November 1 are already circled on our calendar in the fattest, blood-red Sharpie we could find.
