If you want to feel old, here's some news:  Former Packer QB Brett Favre is now 50 years old.  Favre always played through injuries.  Always.  Now he's worried about the effects of playing through so many concussions.  He says he feels fine now but he's getting to the age where symptoms of CTE may manifest themselves.  He also says he's not sure if he'd go back and change his approach to playing hurt.
