PLAYERS: Brett Favre
TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, he of the routinely beating everyone to the scoop, reports that Brett Favre has spoken to more than one team about the Packers' play-calling tendencies. Not only has he spoken to them, Favre has initiated the communication. It seems there's no rule against such actions, but what does it tell us about Favre as a man? I mean, I guess we already know he's a total douche.

Via SbB....Before Glazer came on the show, Le Batard...

This Brett Favre 'betrayal' thing keeps getting weirder

As you'll read here and here. First the Gunslinging One gave the Lions some inside info on the Packers, then he denied it.

Tony Romo Wusses Out

Even after being called out by Brett Favre, Tony Romo was too much of a puss to play today. As a result washed up back up QB Brad Johnson threw 3 interceptions, and the St. Louis Rams beat the bricksA out of the Dallas Cowboys 34-14. Romo should have listened to his child hood idol. When you [...]

Tony Kornheiser Name Dropped Brady At A Two To One Ratio Over Cassel Last Night

I wasn't aware of this, but Fanhouse plays a fun little game with Tony Kornheiser every Monday night.
