Glazer: Favre helped Detroit gameplan vs. Pack

Take this with a grain of salt or a bucket of salt (depending on your preferences)

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

To the extent that any doubt remained regarding the status of the relationship between the Packers and former quarterback Brett Favre, it’s now completely gone.

Per Jay Glazer of FOX, Favre spent 60-to-90 minutes before the Week Two game between the Lions and the Packers educating the Detroit coaching staff regarding the Packers’ offensive strategies.

Did we say wow?

Glazer says that Favre initially called former CEO Matt Millen, who then put Favre in touch with the coaches.

In our view, Brett’s legacy with the Packers has officially been forever stained, if not completely destroyed – unless Favre immediately denies the report, and unless people believe it.

Wow.

The next question is whether and to what extent Favre shared similar information with the Vikings (where his former position coach is the offensive coordinator) before Week One, or with the Seahawks (where his former head coach is the head coach) before Week Six.

If so, Brett’s advice didn’t work. The Packers won all three games.

That's a pretty low thing to do. I wonder how Donald Driver or Greg JEnnings feel about him doing that.

WHOA...

If this were a fluff piece about Favre, people would be bitching that it belongs in the Favre thread. Which btw, it already is.

From the way it's reported, it seems pretty shitty. But on the other hand, how do you know he wasn't telling them inaccurate info. Last time I checked, we did win that game.

Whatever, you either like him or you don't. This story or anything else won't change your mind.

This is in two other threads already.

[digitaldean]

If the mods wish to move this into the Favre thread (or kill it), that's OK with me.

But for those who don't want to keep reading the Favre thread, I'd thought it interesting since it truly does affect the team, not just the TT/MM/BF "love triangle".

the whole "keep it in 1 thread" thing is SO over...

Well, I will continue my Favre posting in that thread. Do as you see fit, Mobb.

Bull shit, I love Favre but if this story is true I'm going to be pissed. What a fucking classless thing to do.

Too bad, I rather liked that particular thing. At least it lasted through the civil war that started the season.

I'll wait on permanently condemning favre until his post game press conference and the resulting media scrutiny. This would be the last straw if true though.

The story implies that Favre initiated the contact. I can't imagine he would go out of his way to do that to relay inaccurate information. No, it is more likely he was trying to get even, if he was the one who initiated it.

And I disagree about your conclusion, if this story is true, I think it could change the minds of a lot of people about Favre.

so u REALLY thinks it makes sense to "control" the favre threads?

even though i started that thread i dont agree that things "have" to stay there. why?

who would allow a a thread on a public forum to irritate them in 2008? SO many REAL issues in this crazy world to b concerned with imo

[GBRulz]

Perhaps, but like alot of media reports, will be ever know the whole truth? I'll agree if it's exactly like the story says, it's a pretty shitty thing to do on his behalf. However, I'd like to hear Favre's reply to this all. I mean, he's such a media whore, I'm sure he'll have something to say about it.

I'm not at all saying it as a way to control the favre threads. Many of us on here are genuinely interested in following what he's been up to. Having all of his articles in one spot was an ideal solution. However, the anti Favre fans couldn't seem to stop with their attacks, so people just kinda said, screw it.

what exactly is a media whore?

do u think brett "asked" for attention or he became such a "good" interview that media sought/seek him out?
