"I'm not supposed to say anything but Brett kind of let that cat out of the bag on that HBO show," Dr. James Andrews told the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger. "I did his shoulder (arthroscopic) a few weeks ago. I visited him in Hattiesburg two weeks ago. He wants to play and he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings."
Andrews called Favre "a tough guy, a great guy," the newspaper reported Friday.
"I'm pulling for him," the surgeon said. "He wants to play. He just wants to make sure his shoulder and arm are healthy enough."
Favre, 39, the longtime Green Bay quarterback who ended a brief retirement
to play for the New York Jets last year only to retire again at season's end, would be competing with Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels if he signs with the Vikings.
