Brett Favre reveals sobering conversation he had with 'Concussion' movie doctor

Brett Favre tells OutKick's Ricky Cobb he's suffered 'hundreds if not thousands of concussions' in his NFL career.

Since his retirement, Brett Favre has gone on record now multiple times saying he believes he suffered hundreds if not thousands of concussions during his football career. 

Favre reiterated this belief during an interview with OutKick's Ricky Cobb this week. The full interview will air Friday morning at 11 a.m. ET.
