Favre Has Authroscopic Surgery On Torn Tendon

Once it was announced that Brett Favre had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon in his right arm, everyone went crazy, speculating that the former MVP is readying himself for another comeback.

ESPN originally reported that the quarterback had the surgery in May to repair the tendons that cost him and the New York Jets any shot of making it to the postseason. Story.

The Vikings continue to deny that they have any interest in Favre, stating the party line that they are happy with Sage Rosenfels and Travris Jackson. Still people think that the good ole number four will be in purple and gold in September.

I find this hard to believe. At this point in the year, it is late for Favre to have surgery and expect to be ready to go when August rolls around. That means a 40-year-old man would have only two months or less to recover from the surgery completely, before he throws a football. That is not going to happen.

If Favre had the surgery in February, than the chance of a comeback would have been more likely. It takes time to heal from surgery on a torn bicep, and for a quarterback like Favre, if he wants to return, the last thing he wants to do is risk the chance of tearing the tendon again without it totally healed up.

If Favre returns, maybe, maybe, maybe it would be a mid season addition, where Favre spends September and October training with the Vikings in order to build his arm strength back up. Last June, Favre was throwing the ball at a Mississippi high school, making it clear that he was ready to return. As far as anyone knows Favre is not throwing right now, and there is no idea when he will.

If Favre doesn't return to the field this season, then this speculation will have to come to a end; otherwise we are talking about a 41-year-old man making a comeback in 2010, after more than a year away from the game.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
