This is a very troubling story so I won't comment on it...Maybe Rob can explain better. Normally, I would shrug off "Rumors" but Jay Glazer is one of the best in the industry.
"Green Bay - According to a report, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre spent 60-90 minutes on the phone helping the Detroit Lions prepare for his former team before their Week 2 matchup.
Jay Glazer of "Fox NFL Sunday" reported of Favre's phone call to the Packers' NFC North Division rival today on the Fox pre-game show.
"Favre called the Detroit Lions, starting off with (former Detroit general manager) Matt Millen," Glazer said. "Matt Millen then put him in touch with the coaching staff and gave the coaching staff like an hour or a 90-minute dissertation, every single thing that the Green Bay Packers do on offense. It's his former team. He's calling a division opponent of a team he has nothing to do with any more and just let's loose all the family secrets. How about that?"

At the least, here Favre was, just a month from being traded to the Jets, struggling to learn a new playbook and teammates, leading a 1-0 (about to be 1-1 with a Week 2 loss to the Patriots, by the way) and he found the time to tutor the Lions on playing the Packers? Wonder how the Jets feel about that?

If this is true which is very hard to believe even if Glazer is reporting
Then sorry guys but brett farve is a classless piece of shit and much worse than the hated barry bonds.
????????Wierd??
No class, low class, call it what ever you want. Favre just acted like a girl that got dumped. His legend is forever stained.
Glazer is massively jealous of Adam Schefter, Chris Mortenson, and John Clayton because they basically break every story and Favre wouldnt give him any interviews when he was contemplating a comeback.
That is why Glazer and that Jason Cole of yahoo have to essentially make up stories and hope they are right, so at some point they might actually break a story.
What probably happened is; a friend of a friend of a friend told Glazer that he had heard something about favre making a call to somebody from Detroit at some time. He ran with it. Not a single person has backed up this story, even though Detroit has had a lot of turnover recently. Nobody.
The packers themselves said that there would be little to no advantage to a call like this and i'm pretty sure Favre has better things to do.
