RETIRE
October 20, 2008 – 10:00 am
Last season was all about Favre working with his young receivers and loving it. This season is all about trying to sabotage those same guys. What a guy.
Fox Sports is reporting that Favre phoned the Detroit Lions prior to their Sept. 14 game with the Packers (Favre was traded to the Jets on Aug. 17), and gave them complete details of Green Bays’ offense. Fox is saying that Favre spent more than an hour on the phone with Lions coaches, trying to prepare them for the game. Fox is also saying that there are rumors that Favre has talked to other teams about the Packers. This of course is just fine with his former teammates.
Maybe he should spend less time on the phone and more time learning the playbook. It’s not like his phone calls are helping anyone win, except maybe the Packers.
