Checkout Brett Favres bad ankle and hamstring


Recommended Posts

Apparently there's a lot of people here who haven't enjoyed the pleasure of the dreaded ankle sprain. That picture is pretty typical. I played volleyball in college and this is an absurdly common injury in volleyball and basketball. The biggest problem is that once you have a sprain like this it becomes a recurrent issue.

 

At first sprain, if you tape the snot out of it to keep the swelling down you can still function fairly well. You have to rely on excessive tape or a brace like and AirCast to support the ankle but if you can just hold the swelling down you can play. The swelling takes away your mobility and ability to bend your foot and that's when it takes you out of the game. Essentially the swelling is the bodies way of saying "I'm shutting this joint down and you're not going to be moving it"!

 

I'm not a tough guy by any standard. In a tournament I sprained my ankle, tried to be a tough guy and had it taped and played 4 more matches. I wound up with an evulsion fracture and was in a cast for a month. :thumbsup:

No one has ever doubted his toughness, but his need to be the star of the game is why they are sitting home. Let the kicker win the game for you - nope not Brett he has to roll right throw left -

Not just star of the game but center of attention! Just hope he took notes while watching Warner another future HOFer retire; i doubt it though. I'm sure we'll see him this summer working out with the high school football team. Keep everyone guessing Brett; what a joke!!

Really? Was his season this year "a joke"? That's your conclusion concerning Favre?

 

It's unbelivable.

No, my conclusion is: make up your mind one way or the other! He wanted to go to Minnesota all along, so he retired and when GB moved on by drafting Brohm in 2nd he decided he wanted back in handcuffing GB. Of course GB was the bad guy by not allowing Favre that option! You ask about this year? I think AP had a little to do with his success!! How was last year? IMHO, yeah he was a great QB and still good. Definitely his right to play and proved he still can. I believe he's a bit overrated and defenses loading the box to stop AP took alot of pressure off of him which ballooned his stats! I also believe he's a prima donna as alot of his former teamates have said and personally i'm getting tired of him!! Just my opinion.
