Favre needs surgery
ESPN is reporting that in order for Brett Favre to play in 2010, he is going to have to have surgery on his ankle. Favre’s friend, Steve Mariucci has said on the NFL network that in order for him to play next year, surgery is the only option. “He’s trying to heal up . His body is recovered except for his ankle. That’s not quite ready yet. It’s an ankle that he had surgery on twice before and it’s still pretty puffy. You remember he came out of that game with the ankle and went back in , but’s it’s still swollen” said Mariucci.
As the start of training camp inches closer, the Favre watch will be getting under way soon.

Sheppard was released by the New York Jets on March 4th of this year as coach Rex Ryan decided not to exercise his option for 2010.

The maggot website TMZ has decided after the Tiger Woods issue, that they now want to cover sports as well as movie stars and constantly harass nearly everyone in the public eye by either following them or paying for video from people who follow others. This video surfaced on the net late last night,
