Brett Favre told ESPN that he believes he is suffering from a cracked rib.


The Minnesota Vikings QB is quoted as saying he has trouble when breathing but he expects to play the first half of tonight’s game in Houston vs. the Texans.


The Vikes are listed as 3.5-point underdogs.

Just another ploy to keep the spot light on himself. Read an article this morning on Espn.com where after the game he recanted and said no X ray was done and he didn't think it was cracked at all. If he's having trouble breathing out there it is because he is out of shape. Until the training staff comes out and verifies this to be true I don't believe a word he says. And what's up with that illegal block? He's lucky somebody didn't clean his clock and break a rib for real.

I agree... Brett has always played the "wounded warrior" role thru out his career. This guy played through more injuries, family drama and personal addictions then anyone in the history of the NFL. It seemed every time he played on MNF he had a broken finger or a chipped elbow or someone had died...It was always something and people like John Madden and Al Michaels would eat it up.
Now the season hasn't even started and right before his national prime time game he announces he has a cracked rib,,,,give me a break!

The drama never ends.I heard last night that Brett won a daytime emmy for his part in The Old and The Restless.Heard it on The Lettermen Show thought it was a good one I would pass on.

Brett just needs to hang the Depends laced jockstrap up FOR GOOD!!! Give it up dude. You need to go hang out in the announcer booth with the rest of the gray hairs.
