Not treason but defintely not right. I agree about that part of it.

No, he wasn't a Packer any longer; but apparently helping his "buddies" on the Lions meant more to him than doing damage to his former team mates on the Packers. No matter how much he disliked TT or MM, that was a very peculiar thing to do to the guys he played with for years. He was a traitor to them, even though he was no longer on the team with them.Originally posted by MadtownPackerComment

Excerpt:
"Several sources have told FOX Sports that Favre earlier this year phoned the Detroit Lions prior to their battle versus Favre's old team, the Green Bay Packers, and gave them a rundown of the nuances of what Green Bay does on offense. According to the sources, Favre actually spent over an hour on the phone with Lions coaches, who were connected with Favre by then-team president Matt Millen.
While the Lions still lost and the Packers and Favre's replacement Aaron Rodgers played well, it's still baffling that the Packers legend would spend such a significant chunk of time giving tips to an opponent of his long-time franchise.
Other teams the Packers have played had also heard about the Favre coaching clinic with Detroit. In addition, there have been rumors that Favre has spoken to other teams giving them information, but most of those teams insist they have not heard from the famed gunslinger.
However, another team says it has had casual talks in the past with Favre and talked about some of what Green Bay does, but it was nowhere near the details he let loose to the Lions.
Still, Favre has the right to do whatever he pleases. If he wants to help other teams there is nothing in league rules that prevents him from doing so."Comment

Suppose this is as good a thread as any since the directive to not start too many Favre threads.
From the sound of the comments of Jemele Hill of ESPN you'd think she was from the Philadelphia boo Santa crowd - she's all for pelting the purple dinosaur with batteries when he comes back to Lambeau.
Biggs: ESPN apologizes for remark

ESPN issued a statement regarding comments by writer Jemele Hill after she encouraged Green Bay Packers fans to find an alternative use for the batteries that go dead in their remotes between now and the Nov. 1 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field.
Hill suggested that fans use those batters to greet Brett Favre when he returns to the place he called home for 16 seasons.
“Listen to me, OK,” Hill said while appearing on ESPN’s “First Take’’ on Wednesday. “If you have a shred of pride, you will give Brett Favre the Duracell treatment when he comes to Lambeau Field.”
Asked what “Duracell treatment” meant, Hill replied, “Batteries. Batteries.”
Encouraging fans to hurl objects onto a playing field or at athletes is inappropriate. Hill goes on to say that Favre has to go down in boos, but there’s a difference between booing and jeering an athlete and throwing objects from the stands.
USA Today picked up the item in blogs, but it’s gone mostly unnoticed. ESPN wrote in a statement that “Jemele understood her comments regarding Brett Favre’s return were inappropriate and immediately apologized.”

That's some effin' advice. Hey, throw batteries at someone you don't like!
He didn't break any laws. He did some stuff that I don't respect, and I don't think much of how he's handled all of it, but advising people to throw batteries? And that coming from a major (if screwed up) media organization?
That's really bad. Really bad.
Say, I don't like what that reporter did....
Let's throw batteries at that chick!"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I guess soon enough we'll find out which Packer fans have class and which ones don't.

This is really unfortunate. I'd hate to let the proud image of Lambeau be sullied by fans who might choose to behave stupidly.
I had originally been in favor of loud lusty booing, and was even more attracted to the idea of 50,000 backs being turned.
After a good think-think it seems to me that it would be just fine for fans to stand and cheer loudly for Brett when he returns. The mystique and honor of Lambeau would remain unsullied, the fans would be regarded as classy and honorable, and Favre would become emotionally conflicted, tear off his purple jersey, throw his purple helmet to the visitor's sideline, and walk off of Lambeau's green turf for the last time, entering the pantheon of Packer heroes with his honor intact.
That or he would throw a bunch of picks and get sacked four times.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment
