More Favre BS

Just saw on SportsCenter that Brett "S." Favre claims that the Jets knew about his torn biceps last season, and he was willing to defer to Kellen Clemens, but the Jets insisted that Favre play through it anyway. When has Favre ever given up a start to anyone? He's started 16 games a season every season since his third, playing through injuries to hold on to that lame consecutive starts record. Favre trying to defer to Clemens probably would have consisted of Favre making sure to get in his start, playing a series or two, then leaving the game. Or just staying in the game and throwing a bunch of picks. Which is what he did.

The second piece of Favre news today, because you know how much he likes headlines, is the shocker that he's predicting in advance that he "may not finish the year" because he doesn't know whether his body can handle a full season. If that's the case, then why let the Vikings pay you $12M this year? If he can't make it through a full season, what good is he? Even if he can, he'll throw a lot of picks and kill them in the playoffs if they get there, so what good is he? Sounds like cop-out bet-hedging to me.

My Favre prediction this year is 3,100 yards, 15 TD, 20 INT, and 16 starts. Because Favre would never miss a start, for the good of the team and because he loves playing football in his backyard so much. Or something.
