Article is an oldie, but goodie, especially if you are not up on your Favre history and are looking for interesting reading on a cold winter’s night.

Brett came to mind for me, however, because as I’ve been keeping up with Rush’s stint in the hospital in Hawaii, it’s been unbelievable how every article throws in the fact that Rush had an addiction to painkillers in the past.

True, it may be that Rush’s recent health problem was caused by a relapse to narcotic use. I’m not saying the information is completely irrelevant.

I am saying that, boy, oh boy, I can’t remember the last time people commenting on how Favre has stepped up his game, played through pain, defied his age and so ever, ever, ever mentions or muses about the role that a “pharmaceutical assist” has played in Favre’s career over the years.

And while painkillers may have helped Favre’s game, it’s doubtful they in any way contributed positively to Rush’s. Yet, here we go, every single article on Rush mentions his past addiction, which so far has no apparent relevance to either his career or his present health status.

At the CPAC speech he had to be tipping them at 300-plus. He’s now under 180.

That’s a ton of weight in a short period of time.

I’m a huge football fan, but anyone who thinks those guys are reaching their current size without steroid help is in denial. Painkillers are more closely controlled now, but sports will NOT police itself.
