Brett Favre Says Ankle Might Not Hold Up

There’s no better source of lulz than everyone’s favorite ‘regular guy’ Brett Favre. What sports fan doesn’t spend all summer on the edge of their seat in breathless anticipation of the result of ‘The Gunslinger’s’ annual version of ‘The Decision’? Who among us hasn’t murmured a silent prayer to the deity of our choice thanking them for Favre’s selfless act of returning for another season?

Seriously….Favre is either setting a pre-emptive excuse for an early exit this season should things not go his way, or else he’s trying to artificially enhance his ‘legacy’ with his own version of Curt Schilling’s ‘bloody sock’–in Favre’s case the ‘ankle full o’ junk’. Or the more likely scenario, he just gets off jerking with his teammates and coaches.

Favre’s made public his concern that his ankle might not hold up for the entire NFL season. The early front runner for the 2010 Nobel Peace prize apparently had some ‘lubricant’ inserted into his ankle following last Saturday’s preseason game (WD-40?). He then breathlessly confided in Peter King of Sports Illustrated that he’s going to be playing on an ankle that a lesser man would have had amputated long ago, and there’s no guarantee he’ll make it through the year:

“I don’t know. I have no idea, really. My ankle just seems to get easier to sprain. I know everyone thinks the New Orleans game [the NFC Championship Game] killed me, but it was bad before then. Now we’ll see if I can make it. My mind’s telling me one thing, but my body’s telling me something else.”

How bad is Favre’s ankle? He had A FREAKIN’ CUP FULL OF JUNK, FLOTSAM AND OTHER RANDOM DEBRIS REMOVED FROM IT!

Favre also said he had “a cup full of stuff — bone and all these other loose bodies” removed during his May 22 surgery.

Is he human? Or is he a cyborg, an amalgam of toughness, heart and character the likes of which is almost beyond the comprehension of mere mortals?

The answer of course is ‘none of the above’–he’s just up to his usual ‘it’s all about me antics’ where he needs to be the center of the collective NFL media’s attention. Coming next week: Brett Favre–”I’ve touched the holy grail”.

The management of Sports Betting World has spared no expense to obtain this *exclusive* picture of the actual ‘cup full of stuff’ Favre had removed from his ankle.
