Brad Childress: Brett Favre is ‘Pain Free’

Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress says Brett Favre has been throwing “pain free” during his workouts at a high school in Mississippi. And the coach of that high school football team, Neville Barr, said Brett “had a lot of velocity and zip” on his passes. That’s good news for Vikings fans who hope to see Brett in a purple uniform this season.

Coach Childress had some comments about Brett’s ongoing rehab:
“Does he have the endurance and the stamina in that arm yet? He doesn’t know that yet. It’s no different than grabbing a golf club for the first time during the year when you rip 18 holes around and you wake up the next day and your side hurts. You say, ‘Geez, I haven’t felt that muscle in a while.’ So he’s got to build some endurance in that and see if he thinks he can get it back to where he wants to get it to.”
I can attest to the golf analogy. I hit balls for an hour and a half straight the other night and felt it for three days afterward. And I thought I was in pretty decent shape. The more Brett continues to throw passes and get that arm ready (at a reasonable pace, of course), the better off he’ll probably be.
