I just heard this on KFAN, Googled it, looked on ESPN for it, but can't find anything, but the skinny is that Favre is having surgery this Friday. This thing ain't done yet, folks.

I'm pretty sure his arm is totally fine for a life outside of football (no pain or anything), but if he wanted to throw a football successfully, he had to have the surgery.
It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects.
If you wanna reach the Co-op, boy, you gotta get by me.
So he lied again about staying retired? And ESPN is making this front page news again, despite more important sports stories... AGAIN? Perish the thought.
Godspeed, men of the 2nd Bn, 127th Infantry, 32d "Red Arrow" Brigade, Wisconsin Army National Guard! Victory in Iraq!

Yep...as we heard earlier up here, that ESPN article says the surgery will completely sever(!) the tendon in his throwing arm, thus eliminating the pain. (John Elway once went through the same thing, but naturally.) Surgery to actually repair the tendon would take much longer to heal, and Favre doesn't have the patience.
(And according to the Pioneer Press in that same article, Favre's already skipped one appointment with every wrestler's favorite doc, Dr. James Andrews. Geez...this guy can't even keep his word on going to the DOCTOR.)
