You are a hard ass. Reminds me to take my .44 out of the safe and put it next to the bed.

I hope he doesn't play hurt. He's to valuable to waste on a wannabe good quarterback.

Favre's status upgraded to probable

November 2, 2002

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Quarterback Brett Favre was upgraded to probable Saturday for the Green Bay Packers' game against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, which would increase his NFL record to 165 consecutive starts.

Favre, who had been listed as questionable, is recovering from a sprained lateral collateral ligament in his left knee since being sacked during the Packers' game against the Washington Redskins on Oct. 20. The Packers had a bye last week, which gave Favre time to heal.

"Nothing is remarkable regarding Brett. You kind of expect it," coach Mike Sherman said. "It would have been remarkable if he came back that following week and played."

Favre was gradually eased back onto the field when the Packers began practice Wednesday. Favre took a few snaps in team drills Thursday before sharing the reps with Doug Pederson on Friday. Teammates said Favre looked good on a few long passes during Saturday's practice, including a 50-yarder to Donald Driver.

"Same as always, nothing different," Driver said.

Sherman said Favre's mobility was restricted earlier in the week because he had the knee heavily taped and was wearing a brace.

At Saturday's practice, Favre protected the knee with just the brace, which he will wear during Monday's game.

"He has more freedom," Sherman said. "When he was taped up real heavily, he wasn't as accurate. But, with that tape off, he seems pretty accurate."
