Source: Vikings tampered with Favre

[Fritz]

I think Favre's interest in the Vikings is pretty obvious, he's hoping to be reunited with Robert Fergusson. You gotta admire the loyalty.

Bretsky?

About the Briggs and Bears tampering, the story I recall is that the league was able to match emails to phone calls to Rosenhaus, where it appeared information that could only have come from the agent about Briggs (possibly contract terms?) ended up in the email after calls from Rosenhaus.

So phone records may not be enough.

It's okay Tyrone. There are a bazillion things about which you are the ultimate authority; the comma of address and the changes in meaning caused by its omission is simply not among them. Some of us flame people more quietly than others.

Sometimes quiet is better...

It keeps looking worse for the Vikings. Bringing up tampering charges against another team isn't very common, so I kind of figured the Packers might have good case. We'll see though.

Two NFL sources said Wednesday that, in addition to cell-phone records of calls between Favre and Minnesota coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, the club also claims Favre sent text messages back-and-forth with the two Vikings coaches...

A league source confirmed previous media reports that Favre was using a Packers-issued cell phone in his alleged communications with Bevell and Childress...

"We keep (text messages) for a very short time — days," said David Clevenger, Verizon's executive director of media relations for the Midwest region. "Then, we clean out our computers. We have 68 million customers, and we wouldn't be able to keep all their text messages. We have no reason to do it. There's no way they (the Packers) would be able to go back and pull up what was said (in the texts)."

But, the owners of the phone are able to see where the texts were sent, much like an itemized bill details every call made and received.

"If they own the phone, then they have the right to do that," Clevenger said.

Clevenger also said Verizon only began making text message destination numbers accessible to owners in May.

Now, sources are saying the phone records reports are false--as Favre doesn't have a Packers issued cell phone. No players do--which makes more sense.

Hopefully the NFL will let us all know what really happened, or at least what they believe happened.


I really should send TT a fruit basket for helping spark a little interest in July for Viking fans too!

What a guy. He keeps you guys on the edge of your seat and he still has time to make it interesting for me!

So Favre stole a phone from the Packers too, that SOB.
