Favre looks good in workout with high schoolers

[madinmaryland]

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Brett Favre looks like he's getting along just fine on that surgically repaired ankle.

Favre worked out with some youngsters at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Monday, then eluded reporters looking to ask him about his future by running to his truck and driving away.

The 40-year-old quarterback has yet to tell the Minnesota Vikings if he will return for a 20th season in the NFL, but many expect him to be back. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in May and has been throwing to receivers at the high school for a few weeks.

Favre worked out for about an hour, then grinned and waved at reporters as he drove off.

3. I wonder if they test for HGH in that high school conference?

The fact Favre still won't say what he's doing -- when Favre knows he's coming back -- proves he is still the reigning champion of all things hubris, the Moby Dick of ego who couldn't be sunk with a 1,000 harpoons. LeBron James has nothing on Favre.

"He says he's not sure because he doesn't want to go to training camp," the legendary Joe Montana said in a recent published report. "He's smart. I'm sure he already has that agreement with . Nine chances out of 10 they already know and they've already had this whole conversation and they should just let everybody know because they know he's coming back."

In other words, drop the charade.

"He knows he's going to come back," Montana continued, "but the reason they don't say anything is because he doesn't want to go through training camp. If he didn't have to go through training camp, his decision would already be made, but he should know by now going to training camp isn't going to be hard. They'd never make it hard on him."

There's almost a mocking of Favre in Montana's words. They'd never make it hard on him.

I've covered about seven NFL quarterback greats fairly extensively: Montana, Phil Simms, Peyton Manning, Jim Kelly, Troy Aikman, Tom Brady and Kurt Warner. Just don't see Manning skipping all of training camp if given the chance. Or Brady. Or really any of them, no matter what they may say publicly.

Taking shortcuts wasn't and isn't in their DNA.

4. Favre had a great season in 2009,

despite what all the Sports Forum experts (me included) predicted last summer. Why wouldn't -- or shouldn't -- he come back?
