And there is proof that the Packer game was at least part of that conversation. Favre admitted it, so there is no disputing it anymore. It happened. As many have already said, including myself, it does not matter the substance of the Packer related part of that conversation. The mere fact that it took place is enough. What should have happened when Millen asked for advice against the Packers is Favre should have told Millen that he has many former teammates over in Green Bay whom he respects and is loyal to, so no advice whatsoever - ABSOLUTELY nothing rather than next to nothing - and then went back to the topic of going hunting. The Packer part of that conversation should only have lasted long enough for Favre to tell Millen that no advice would be given.
And let me explain the moral violation here. Favre sharing info about the Packers to the Jets in preparation for a game between the Packers and the Jets is just fine. I'd expect it and even encourage it, whatever you can do to give YOUR team a better chance to win. Favre sharing info with the Lions about the Packers is crossing the line because of the fact that Favre and the Jets do not benefit from a Lions win over the Packers. Favre is not a goddamn Detroit Lion. There is no reason for him to do it, other than a petty vendetta against Ted Thompson and/or Mike McCarthy. Problem here is, a Packers loss is felt by everyone within the organization, not just TT and MM. Donald Driver would have suffered a loss, and it might have had something to do with Brett Favre's betrayal of his former teammates alongside his former coach and GM. No, it's not illegal. But it's unsportsmanlike as hell and extremely immoral.
