Bitter Brett Favre Reportedly Called the Lions to Tell Them All About the Packers Offense

Craziness coming out of the FOX pregame show from Jay Glazer, as he's reporting that Brett Favre called up the Detroit Lions and basically offered up the Green Bay Packers playbook for free, because, well, he doesn't like the Packers.

Seriously, that's the report. And it's kind of insane.
The bitterness between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers was never in debate. Just how deep that went, or continues to go, is unclear.

According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Favre called the Detroit Lions' coaching staff earlier this season to share what he knew about the Packers' offense. Glazer went on to say on the Fox pregame show that Favre spent more than an hour on the phone. (For the record, the Packers beat the Lions, 48-25, on Sept. 14.)
If this story that Glazer is reporting about Brett Favre calling up the Lions to tell them about the Packers offense is true ... well, a few things.

For one, Favre is the most petulant child I've ever seen. Two, he's also a moron -- surely this can't be considered legal/moral. And three, the Detroit Lions are the worst team in the history of the NFL. Why? Because despite Favre's alleged help, they still got depantsed by the Packers. At least call the Bears or something.

Semi-Humorous Update: Howie Long is making "jokes" about the Lions looking "good" against the Vikings and asking if Favre gave them "Cliff-Notes too". It must be true!
