Farve commits NFL treason?

[Ron Whitfield]

If Favre and the Detroit Lions have colluded to give/accept insider tip-offs, then they both need to be dealt with severely. This is potentially as bad as Pete Rose's situation for baseball.

The only thing Brett Farve told the Detroit Lions is how to throw interceptions.

Re: Farve commit's NFL treason?

Just some things that make me don't care about it:

-the source was Faux Sports
-it would have not been against NFL rules; coaches share film anyway
-Lions need more than cheating to win
-can't compare it to Rose's situation--Rose's betting on games in which he managed/played IS against MLB rules

Precisely. It happens all the time when players/coaches/scouts go from one team to another team. Only the most naive fans think that "inside" information isn't passed around. GMAB!

To compare it to gambling/fixing games is ludicrous and totally lacks perspective. The only consequence I see coming from this is Favre's reputation with Packer Backers. He'll always be a hero in Green Bay. But as a result of this story (helping a divisional rival), he may drop a couple of notches below the sainthood level of Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr.

Oakland only won that game in OT, with a record breaking field goal of 57 yards - that they had to try because they couldn't get a first down. Farve did not have his a** handed to him! Oakland finally had a good break - and a great kicker.

and, no - I'm not a fan of either team.

Dang, is Tim wrong, yet again?

So glad to hear that to some, cheating in pro sports is AOK.

BTW, Brett's last name is spelled FAVRE, not FARVE.

It's more like talkin' stink thru unnamed sources in a bitter divorce between Madonna and Guy Ritchie, I mean Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers.
