Fuck these turds. I want my tee-shirt.





Or whoever the fuck.

Brett Favre has been upgraded from out to questionable for tonight's game against the Chicago Bears at TCF Bank Stadium.

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."

There's already 2-3 inches of snow on the ground in the Twin Cities and plenty more on the way:



This should be fun/awful/dangerous/REALoutdoorfootball.

I understand that they're expecting snowfall of a half-inch to an inch an hour during the game.

I thought BC's angioplasty results were confidential?  How did you manage to get ahold of them?

With this game being played on a slab of ice, Brett probably figured the chance of realizing his dreams of martyrdom by dying on the football field was dramatically higher. Here's hoping Julius indulges his fantasy.

And I thought this Division Clincher was going to be kind of dull and anti-climactic. Instead it's going to be wet dream frozen in time for as long as I'm alive. Oh, happy day.

This.

Not that it matters in this case, but I was shocked to hear that a player could be ruled "out" on one day and then upgraded to "doubtful/qstbl/probable" as late as the DAY OF GAME... I'm sure the game has been yanked off the tote boards, but Bellichek could have a lot of fun with injury reports this way.

Yeah, I don't see why they couldn't have used "doubtful." "Out" is supposed to mean 0% chance. If there's a 1% chance, you put doubtful. They've just rendered the entire injury report fucking pointless.

That is not the point.  The point is that Brett Favre is gutsy. He's fearless.  And this guy, he doesn't care about these terrible conditions, even when the Vikings have nothin' to play fer. The man LOVES football and just wants to play. 

This guy ... what a guy.

It's Favruh. The NFL has no problem overlooking or changing the rules when it comes to him (i.e. the new playoff overtime setup).

[morpheus]

It is confirmed.  Favuruh will start tonight.

DONG!

Bears still unable to cover the gritty white guy play. Fuck my life. Favre, we're going to need that ball back, ok?

Good lookin' out, brah.

I'm going to have a fucking heart attack.
