Brett Favre Reveals That He Was Concussed During 2009 NFC Championship Game
#1
I would love to return the favor on Sunday.  Except on a clean hit, and not late, cheap-ass shots to the head.

This weekend's game against the New Orleans Saints is drumming up all sorts of bad memories from the 2009 NFC Championship game that tragically ended the Vikings season. While that storyline is mainly coming from the fanbase and not the locker room with this year's squad, the feelings are unchanged. 
In accordance with a set of interviews he is doing for a documentary series in which he is both the subject and producer for, Brett Favre chatted today and unveiled some interesting nuggets in regards to that game nine years ago.
Favre went on to say that the 2009 NFC Championship Game was probably "the most violent" game he had ever experienced in a notably violent sport. Remember, Favre's ankle was badly injured in that game and it was later revealed that the Saints had employed a "bounty" on knocking Favre out of the game.
That was the information that we knew, what we didn't know was this. 
According to Favre himself, he was actually concussed during the Saints game after repeated late hits to the head and attempted to power through to finish the game.

Actually, I take that back.  I would rather Brees play the entire game and we still beat the tar out of them.  That way the Saints have no excuses and they can see that we don't need to cheat in order to beat their asses.

Dang, didn't need to see that ugly mug in purple again.

As to Brees, hopefully they pull him in the 4th to avoid more hits because he is ineffective and the game is out of reach.

I'm with 'ya.  I hated Brett until I loved him, then he broke my heart.  B)

Those two '09 games against GB were classics; especially the Lambeau game.  One of my favorites for sure.
