Brett Favre Used Packers Issued Cell Phone To Call Vikings
Brett Favre Is An Idiot
Oh Brett Favre. Even when you're not doing anything, you're still news. Why? Because it turns out you're an absolute idiot, that's why.

As you may remember, last week it came out that the Packers had filed tampering charges against the Vikings for allegedly talking to Favre. Of course, the question was, who was calling whom? And how in the heck did the Packers find out Favre was even talking to the Vikings?

Well, now we know.

It turns out that Favre used a Packers issued cell phone to make "repeated calls to coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell." Doh.

On a 1 to 10 scale of stupidity, that's about a 17.

Obviously when the Packers checked the team phone records, they found out exactly what was going on.

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that the Vikings will get in trouble for tampering. After all, Bevell is a friend of Favre's, and was Favre's QB coach in Green Bay from '03-'05.

But, uh, those calls to Childress. Those are going to be a lot tougher to explain. Childress and Favre have ZERO history.

If the Vikings do wind up getting in trouble for tampering, they'll either get fined, lose draft picks, or both. Which means Favre will have managed two officially screw two teams without even having set foot on the field. That's gotta be some kind of record.

I see Brett has been taking Cell Phone Use 101 with O.J. Mayo.

Clearly this was a huge mastermind plot to get the Vikings in trouble... and until Brett Favre steps on the field with another team I will tell myself that until I believe it.

using the official pack-line cell phone is not a story in itself... its just a crumb that fell off a piece of the cake... they need to reinstate him or cut him, plain & simple...

I guess it's just preposterous to think it was intentional, right?  Yeah, he must just be a complete moron.  Clearly.

if you are going to talk to the head coach of another team while you are asking for your release, dont use the teams cell phone. He has no relationship with Childress. I can understand him talking with Bevell they are friends. But use some common sense here. I know all the Favre fans think this is piling on. Doesnt look good. Boy you Favre backers, he cant do no wrong can he?

I would love to put Brett and Joe Paterno on a boat headed to nowhere. Both are wearing out their welcome and need to retire.

I like Favre but I hope this was intentional because that might be one of the most idiotic moves of all time if it's legit.

I don't know how it would make it better if this was intentional...

Am I missing something here? Someone explain Favre's master plan here. I've heard 2 people so far insinuate that this could be intentional, and that would somehow make it less stupid... I just don't see the logic there.

If I'm one of those two, mine was meant as a joke.  I've always said that Brett wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, which is why I've always believed the Wonderlic is a joke because you don't have to be intelligent to be an NFL QB.

I was referring to ChicaQueso and jakeob1106 ... I just don't have a clue why it would make it better if he was this stupid on purpose.
