What do you think of Brett Favre now?

I know that there is a great divide between ‘Packers Fans’ and ‘Brett Favre Fans’ over the events from this past August.  ‘Packers Fans’ will cheer for the Green and Gold regardless whether Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, or Don Majkowski comes out of retirement to be the team’s starting quarterback.  Meanwhile, once Brett left our great state, there are many out there that realized the reason why they loved to watch the Packers on Sunday afternoons was mainly for the joy of watching Favre.

Anyway there was some interesting news that came out today during the Fox network pregame show.  Jay Glazer had the following report.

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.

Other teams the Packers have played had also heard about the Favre coaching clinic with Detroit. In addition, there have been rumors that Favre has spoken to other teams giving them information, but most of those teams insist they have not heard from the famed gunslinger.

However, another team says it has had casual talks in the past with Favre and talked about some of what Green Bay does, but it was nowhere near the details he let loose to the Lions.

Am I the only one outraged over Favre’s actions after reading this? Tell me what you think. State whether you’re a ‘Packers’ or a ‘Brett Favre’ fan and what you take out of this report.
