Vikings coach Brad Childress revealed Monday that Brett Favre has been diagnosed with two fractures in his left ankle.
Favre has an "avulsion" fracture (when a ligament separates a piece of bone from the primary bone) and a stress fracture in ankle, which was surgically repaired this offseason. Coach Brad Childress won't rule out Favre for Week 8 against New England, but also said Favre's consecutive starts streak will have no impact on his playing status. According to beat writer Tom Pelissero, it "sure sounds like there's a real danger of him missing this game." Favre won't need another surgery, but is currently in a protective boot.

What the hell...is it even physically possible to play an entire game on a broken ankle? I'm no doctor, but I have to think that's a pretty damn important body part for a football player.

I am sure he didn't get to that level by not believing he was the man who could take them to the promised land.

I guess I'll be TiVoing Monday Night Countdown and watching it on fast forward tonight. With Favre's ankle, the Cowboys and a Manning, there will be about 1.5 minutes of interesting content out of the 90 minutes.

The same ankle he delayed surgery on until May? Say it ain't so, Captain Cockshot.

I bet Moss is pissed he's a Viking now. Two weeks ago is was the biggest news story eva. Now, it will be how uncooperitive he is.

Yes, but is his arrow still pointing up?

It's true. I do love watching him throw game-ending pick sixes, especially in the playoffs.

99.9% of the time teams will not disclose, with any particularity, the extent or exact nature of an injury, unless the player is going to miss extended time and/or go to IR.

Pretty odd.

Agreed.

Transparent scam. Doctors paid off. X-rays faked. Entire world tricked and fooled.

At a crucial moment in next week's game, Fa-Va-Rah will throw his walking boot into the crowd, don his helm, take the field to a chorus of wild cheers, and start flinging like there's no tomorrow.

LAWL.

It's still kind of funny to think that Favre throws with more velocity on a broken ankle than maybe 29 QB's in the league.

How epic would it have been had Harvin got that 2nd foot down?
