Brett Favre left yesterday’s Minnesota Vikings-Chicago Bears game with a head concussion. During the second quarter, Bears tight end Corey Woottman sacked Favre, causing Favre to watch the rest of the game from the sideline as the Bears beat the Vikings 40-13. Favre missed his first start in 18 years last week with a sprained SC joint in his right shoulder. All signs point that Favre’s career is over, even telling the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, “I don’t know with this concussion, based on my decision-making, I probably shouldn’t tell you one way or the other right now. I don’t regret it. I wish it would have turned out differently.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he will make his decision on the Brett Fave sexual harassment case by the season’s end. Jenn Sterger, the former NY Jets sideline reporter who Favre is accused of sending naked pictures to, said she wants to see Favre suspended or she will pursue litigation.
During an interview with NBC’s Football Night in America, Goodell said he expected a decision by the season’s end. “I want to make sure we do what’s right,” Goodell said. “We take this issue very seriously.”
All signs point to that this is Favre’s last season. During last week’s Minnesota Vikings-NY Giants game, Favre missed his first game since 1992. Is stalling the decision Goodell’s way of avoiding suspending Favre and tarnishing the end of his career ?
After starting 297 consecutive games, Brett Favre’s streak as a starting quaterback is over. It has been the longest streak in NFL history. Last week, Favre sprained the SC joint in his right shoulder in a game against the Buffalo Bills. Instead, Vikings backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will get the start. Favre had an extra day to rest, after the Minnesota Vikings- NY Giants game was postponed after the Metrodone collapsed due to snow. The game will be played tonight at Detroit’s Ford Field. Although Favre made the trip to Detroit, he is list as inactive for the matchup. The last time Brett Favre did not start an NFL football game was in 1992. The legendary quarterback in the midst of a text message scandal was drafted in 1991. Be careful Jenn… Favre is going to have some extra time on his hands!
The roof of the Metrodome will not be repaired by Monday’s Minnesota Vikings-Chicago Bears game.
