To start or not to start: The Brett Favre Saga

Brett Favre has started 297 football games in a row. He has played through hand, foot, back, and shoulder injuries throughout his 20+ year career. Now, he is 41 years old and may be facing his biggest obstacle yet. Last week against Buffalo, he injured his right shoulder in the opening minutes of the first quarter. So the big decision is will Brett Favre start his 298th consecutive football game. Favre said in his press conference on Wednesday that putting on his shirt and socks have caused pain in his shoulder. What does this mean for Minnesota? Will Favre start? Will he give them the best chance to win if he plays with an sprained shoulder? Would he re injury his shoulder during the game? How is Favre going to throw a football 10 yards or hand the ball off to Peterson without hurting his shoulder? If he does play through the pain and they lose, the question will be... Is Favre playing for the streak or for the Vikings? In my opinion, Favre's streak will end at 297. All great things must come to an end but, it's time for the NFL Iron Man to take a day off.
