The Lions, when asked, neither denied nor confirmed. They politely declined to deny."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Glazer is already backing down on the story.
There isn't any evidence (or named sources except by implication Matt Millen the GM).
This vicious gossip and inuendo is nearly slander.
In the News business Favre stories sell. Even the made up manufactured one.
Glazer has been proven wrong many times before and he did nothing to attempt to verify the rumor.
Nothing here that anyone should get worked up about.

Good point. All the more reason, using your logic, that if it was false they would have spoke up immediately and denied.Originally posted by sharpe1027
There is only 1 place that this info is coming from, cause brett isn't going to tell anyone about it. And if the story leaked it was probably a player working closely with a coach, and the coach let it slip.Comment

GLAZER GIVES MORE DETAILS ON FAVRE REPORT
Posted by Mike Florio on October 20, 2008, 2:05 p.m.
In an interview on Monday’s Jim Rome Show, Jay Glazer of FOX shared some more details regarding the report that Brett Favre spent 60-to-90 minutes helping the Lions prepare for the Packers.
Glazer says that the situation arose while former Lions CEO Matt Millen and Favre had a phone conversation in connection with Millen’s interest in taking Favre hunting. As Glazer explains it, when the pair finally got on the line together, the dialogue coincidentally occurred in the week before the Packers-Lions game.
Glazer attributes the discussion that ensued between Favre and Lions coaches to Favre’s affinity for holding court. “He just goes,” Glazer said, referring to experiences with Favre during production meetings from Glazer’s days as a sideline reporter.
Most importantly, Glazer said that he stands by the story “1,000 percent.”
“You can’t be 95 percent on this,” Glazer said. “You can’t be 99 percent on this.”
As to the possibility (raised by Rome) that Glazer was fed bad information by sources who wanted to make Favre look bad, Glazer said that the information came from folks who “didn’t care one way or the other,” and that Packers sources were not part of the equation.
As to Favre’s denial, Glazer pointed out that Favre initially called reports of his emergence from retirement as “rumor.” (In other words, Glazer politely called Favre a liar.)
Glazer also explained why he didn’t call Favre for a response. Glazer said that he feared Favre would have promptly called someone from ESPN to give them Favre’s skewed version of the situation. With the ESPN pregame show starting an hour before FOX’s, it would have been easy for ESPN to “scoop” Glazer.
(But since ESPN didn’t break the story, there’s not a single reference to it on ESPN.com. Even the army of eight former beat writers who cover four teams each for ESPN.com have yet to mention the story.)
Glazer is scheduled to talk about the situation again on Tuesday’s Dan Patrick Show.

Ruh-Roh.
If this true, however, it should put to rest any and all of the following rumors:
1. that Favre went around calling other Packers' opponents to freely offer the inside scoop. This makes it sound as if the subject kinda sorta just came up during a conversation (about going hunting).
2. That Rod Marinelli can coach. If he had an hour's worth of inside info and couldn't really get close to stopping the Pack, wtf?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
