You can't get away from this story. Ever.

Brett Favre apparently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder recently, according to two sources.

Favre remains unable to make a commitment because subsequent throwing sessions indicate the shoulder is not yet 100 percent.

While Favre has now clearly demonstrated his interest in coming out of retirement for a 19th season in the NFL, it seems equally obvious that he will not do so unless convinced he has recovered fully from the torn biceps tendon that undermined him last year with the New York Jets.

Favre's agent Bus Cook refused to comment on the surgery rumor, saying instead that it fell under the realm of confidential client privilege.
