News flash, stop! Brett Favre is tired, stop!

Brett Favre is known, more than anything else save possibly his career interceptions record, for his legendary durability. He's started like 1,000 games in a row and he never gets injured. In fact, linebackers get injured trying to tackle him. He's made of granite.

Unless he has to practice more than four straight days. According to this AP article, he said he was tired after practice this morning. Tired. So he asked Mangini to go easy on him for the afternoon practice. Here's some choice quotes:

• "My arm's kind of dragging a little bit today."


• "To be honest with you, I'm surprised... that I've been able to make it through every practice so far."


• "I wondered this morning when I got up, 'What in the heck am I doing?'"


• "I could go into a game and I think I could manage a game OK."


• "I felt 38 today."

Oh yeah! That, ladies and gentlemen, is the voice of a winner. A conqueror. An immovable force of nature.

One wonders whether he talks like this in the huddle. "Well, guys, I'm gettin' kinda pooped out here, but let's just run a few more plays and we can go home. Break!"

Let the season begin! Bring 'em on!
