Favre: Total B.S. | Brats & Beer

Brett Fave responded today to a FOX Sports story Sunday about him passing information to the Lions before the Packers played Detroit in Week 2. Peter King reports that Favre told him via text message the story is “total bs.” Or, really? Just like those reports that your agent was sniffing around for a trade just weeks after your retirement were total B.S.? Just like the stories in late June that you were considering coming out of retirement were total B.S.?
I have to agree, though, if Favre mentored the Lions coaching staff on Green Bay’s offensive tendencies, that is total B.S. It may not have violated the NFL rules and bylaws, but passing along inside information to other teams is a complete slap in the face to all Packer fans and the franchise he once played for.
Don’t get me wrong, two or three years from now when they finally do retire that #4 jersey and install his name at the top of Lambeau Field, I’m sure I’m be crying like a big old baby. But there might be a tear or two fewer than there would have been otherwise.
