Favre’s Streak Will Continue, But Should it?

By Chris Mottram
At my old place of employment, my colleagues referred to me as “Doctor,” because I spent an abnormal amount of time in college (sometimes, I like to party). I assure you, however, I’m not medically certified on any level.

Having said that, isn’t separating your shoulder kind of a big deal? That’s the injury Favre suffered last night, yet his coach said there is a “great chance he will be ready against Oakland.”
Is it really worth rushing Favre back to play the 3-8 Raiders? Especially when you consider how well Aaron Rodgers played (18-26, 201, TD), you’d have to think Favre might want to take the day off. Plus, they might want him for the playoffs.
Then again, it’s not like the injury hurt at all: “If anyone has hit their funny bone, imagine hitting it 10 times as hard with a hammer,” Favre said. “That’s what it feels like.” Again, not a doctor, but that sounds like it would be bad for your physical health.
Of course, following my basic logic would end his consecutive games streak, which is currently at 253.
