Is that... allowed? Weird.

Favre is a loser.

I doubt it is illegal.

I know for a fact that the QB of the Colts and QB of Giants frequently exchange advice.

I also know that players are often picked up off waivers to be pumped for information regarding their former team.

It would neither bother me nor shock me, if Norv and Bill spoke this week regarding their thoughts on Denver and Buffalo. As victories for the other team is in each's mutual best interest.

What is troubling about this is, it means Brett is a vindictive [words that would be filtered out]. Who is the process of destroying the love that wisc residents have for him.

sure .it happens all the time when teams have common vested interest but
a)its never out in the open
b)favre has nothing to gain by DET beating GB other than a personal vendetta.

WOW about sums it up. It's one thing for guys to talk among themselves (the enemy of my enemy is my friend). QB's talk, coaches talk, mostly based on prior personal or professional relationships. If somebody he has a relationahip with calls him for advice that's one thing - you give it depending on it not impacing your teams chances going forward. But for him to call FO personnel of a team or teams his former team is facing basically soliciting an opportunity to impart advice smacks of the self absorbed, vindictive a-hole posing as just a good ole boy I have come to believe he is.

Hey look on the bright side. I am glad he did it. He could have spent that time learning the NE blitzing schemes instead.

I hope he spends most of week 11 helping the Bears get ready for GB.

here is the link to glazer's article

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Sunday Scoops: Is Favre guilty of insider trading?

Quote:
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.
espn will bury and the media like dan patrick will say its a rumor but glazer is usually dead on with his scoops.

If this is true, or at least if people in GB BELIEVE it's true, BF is playing himself out of immortality. I don't like him, so that's OK, except that I think GB fans could have used this.

What do you expect from a guy who created that whole massive Summer soap opera out of a stubborn desire for personal vengence? Remember, the Packers were always willing to trade him outside of the conference--even the division. But Favre's words were: "If you won’t let me play for you, let me play against you."

Nice thank you to the loyal Wisconsin fans who bought his jerseys all those years.
