You remember when Brett Favre had that Streak going?

Well let's not count him out just yet for tonight's game though. :wacko:

 

Looks like he wants to start a new one.

Favre will test his injured right shoulder about 2 1/2 hours before the game to see if he can play. Favre was officially ruled out on Saturday because he was still experiencing some numbness in his right hand.

 

Rookie Joe Webb was expected to make his first career start, but Favre is going to see if there's a chance he can play.

 

"Brett Favre attempted to throw the football two days ago and was unable to, due to pain in the SC joint and residual numbness from a brachial plexus injury,” Vikings head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman told the team's website Vikings.com. “He declared himself out at that time. He woke up this morning feeling much improved. His symptoms and function have improved dramatically over the past 24 hours. In fairness to him and his team, he would like to be given the opportunity to play tonight if physically able.”

 

Favre had his consecutive games streak end at 297 games against the New York Giants last Monday. He suffered a sprained sternoclavicular joint against the Buffalo Bills the previous week and has been experiencing tingling and numbness in his hand.

 

Favre did not take part in practice this week, and it's highly unusual for a player to be upgraded on game day after being listed as "out" on the final injury report. Here is a statement from NFL spokesman Greg Aiello on the situation:

 

"If a player's medical status changes during the course of the week, the club must update his playing status accordingly prior to the game," Aiello wrote in an email. "That is what the Vikings did when Brett's status changed today. The club discussed it with us first."

 

Coach Leslie Frazier has stated several times this week that he didn't intend to put Favre on injured reserve because he is hopeful his shoulder will make progress.

Peter King said he spent all day last week tweeting reporters he wasn't starting.

Give Webb the shot tonight, he deserves it.

 

You know what farve deserves? A good ol'fashioned beating behind the wood shed. So sick of hearing about this guy, it is all over the place.

 

I'm not saying I want Favre to play or that he should play but how does Joe Webb deserve the start? Has he done something specifically to deserve it?

Vikings should at least find out what they have in Webb. The Packers now know they have a serviceable QB in Flynn and God knows their need isn't as great as the Vikes going forward.
