Brett Favre suffered a concussion, but interim Vikings coach Leslie Frazier wasn’t ready to send the 41-year-old quarterback to season-ending injured reserve.

Brett Favre may be down, but the banged-up gunslinger isn’t out yet.

Favre said he was knocked unconscious after being thrown to the frozen FieldTurf of TCF Bank Stadium on Monday night, but the Vikings aren’t ready to put the 41-year-old on injured reserve just yet, despite Favre suffering a concussion with only two games remaining.

“He’s proven time and time again that he’s capable of coming back and playing again, so I don’t think (injured reserve is an option),” interim head coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday.

“… He loves to compete and he likes to play. He doesn’t want to let his teammates down. He really wanted to play in front of the home fans last night for maybe the last time. That was important to him. I think more than anything he likes to compete and the fact that we’ve got two ballgames left, he’s a guy who loves his teammates and loves to play. I think that’s what motivates him more than anything.”

However, the Vikings haven’t done a great job of protecting Favre this season. He has played in 13 games and taken 22 sacks and numerous other's.

It`s a well known fact that in all sports athletes on many occasions have to be protected from their worst enemy---themselves. Brett Favre, the quarterback, is one of the best of all time---that can hardly be disputed. Brett Favre, the man, is a kid at heart playing the game he loves. But it`s not a game anymore---no pro sport is a game anymore, it`s a product on a field that is a mega million dollar corporation. The Minnesota Vikings are such an entity and should be responsible enough to keep Favre from getting killed or crippled on the playing field. The Vikes are playing for pride and the future now---Brett Favre is not part of their future and he`s already given his farewell tour a couple years ago. He`s given the game everything he had---now it`s time for the Vikings to stand up and sit him down-----for the love of the game. JMO
