Brett Favre rats out Packers
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Brett Favre fell over at the thought that he exposed secrets of the Packer offense
This story is almost too ludicrous to report, but report we must.
The story goes that Brett Favre called the Lions coaches before their game against the Packers and told them how to counter the Packers attack.
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.
Let’s go back to my original thesis that this is just too stupid. Maybe Brett talked to teams about the Packer offense when he was looking for a job, but certainly not in the detail required to defense the Packers.
One has to admit that was a curious game, though. The Lions were being pounded and came back to take the lead 25 to 24, but in the last 5:17 of that game the Packers scored 24 points to win big 48 - 25.
Hey, maybe Brett lied?

Brett Favre is certainly a legend, it’s crazy to think he would give out secrets about the packers.
