It's not much of a secret that the majority of the JSF front office has it's share of issues with the media creation that is Brett Favre.  Needless to say, his latest antics - which include allegedly seeking out the Lions coaches to dish on the Packers secrets before the two teams played each other earlier this season - have caused us to sit back and just observe how the football world would react.

By and large the media outside of FoxSports.com have been indifferent, certainly in comparison to the expected reaction if the same story would have unfolded with Terrell Owens of Chad Johnson as the centerpiece.  The players on the other hand, have been a little more outspoken.

Sayeth Charles Woodson:

"If they call him and he gives them information, that's one thing. But to seek a team out and to feel like you're trying to sabotage this team, I don't respect that. I know he's been the greatest player around here for a long time, but there's no honor in that."

Ruvell Martin also chimed in:

"If it's true, then you've got to question motives.  I don't know what to say."

Well, you don't have to say anything, Ruvell.  Just for having the balls to question the motives of the almighty Green Bay deity and his army of media cohorts, we've earmarked the first two giant cheese-filled bratwursts for our boys Charles and Ruvell.

They best be careful in Wisconsin however - those who rip on Our Favre do not sit well with Packer fans.

1949 - Hockey czar, Mike Keenan is born somewhere in Canada. Ontario legend has it that Keenan emerged from his mother's womb with a full mustache and immediately traded away the entire nursing staff for Russian prospects to be named later.

1979 - Khalil Greene, shortstop for the San Diego Padres, is born. Contrary to populat belief, the name "Khalil" is Arabic for friend, not "man sporting buttcut in 2008."

2004 - The Red Sox beat the Yankees 10-3 to finish off an improbable four-game comeback in the ALCS against the New York Yankees. The Sox went on to win the World Series and end their 86 year "curse" against our very own St. Louis Cardinals. As painful as that whole ordeal was, the most haunting memory is that little twirp Jimmy Fallon running around Busch Stadium.

Subject: You've Got to Be Kidding Me

Jay,

as a fellow journalist, I think your thirst for breaking stories has gone too far. How dare you make up a story about Brett giving hints to the Detroit Lions. Even if he did, there's nothing illegal about it. But I know for a fact Favre did not help the Lions. He sent me a text message Sunday night denying any wrong doing. He sent me 17 of them, in fact.

Here's what I think about Favre: he's a great player, a great family man and a great story-teller. My favorite Favre story occurred just before Super Bowl XXXI. He gave a homeless man on the street a one hundred dollar bill with the instructions that he buy a Favre jersey at the fan gift store across the way. How nice of Favre to give that man a jersey in his time of misfortune.

Next time you demean a man of such great stature, you better have your facts straight.
