HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—Brett Favre took it easy on his rocket right arm after firing a few duds earlier in the day.

“No pain, but I’m 38 years old,” the Jets quarterback said Wednesday. “It’s going to be fatigued a little bit.”

Favre took noticeably fewer snaps in the evening practice after earlier saying he would talk to coach Eric Mangini about limiting his throws.

“My arm’s kind of dragging a little bit today,” Favre said after the team’s morning session. “It’s not really sore, but just fatigued. To be honest with you, I’m surprised that, I don’t want to say I feel good, that I’ve been able to make it through every practice so far.”

Favre misfired on a handful of throws in the morning practice, short-hopping some tosses, throwing behind — or over — his receivers on others.

“I felt 38 today,” Favre said. “I’m not going to lie to you.”

“I wondered this morning when I got up, ‘What in the heck am I doing?'” Favre said. “The answer to that question is I love to play. I hate to study. At times, I hate to practice, but I love to play. I know I need to study and I know I need to practice and I know how important it is. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. The question I have to ask myself is am I willing to do that? And the answer is yes.”

And so it begins.  Some (many) have doubted my previous post about Favre potentiallly shitting the bed.  Here’s a bit of proof.  How can you be fatigued, when, you showed up LATE FOR TRAINING CAMP!?!?!?!?!!?!??!  Seriously, this man’s too old to keep playing as QB.  Can’t wait to see him get tatooed out there and be forced to retire for good.
