Favre says he didn't give Millen, Lions any inside info about Packers

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Brett Favre insists he's no Benedict Brett.
The New York Jets quarterback denied reports that he called former Detroit president Matt Millen a few weeks ago and gave him and Lions coaches information they could use in a game against the Green Bay Packers.
Favre, who had a bitter split with the Packers in the offseason, said Wednesday that Millen called to invite him to go hunting. The friends then briefly talked about football.
"I didn't give him any game planning," Favre said Wednesday. "I haven't been in that offense in over a year. I don't know what else to tell you. It was pretty simple."
FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer first reported the story on Sunday. ESPN had not independently confirmed it. After the FoxSports.com report surfaced, Favre issued a denial via text message on Sunday, which was reported by Peter King on NBC.
Favre's news conference Wednesday, which is regularly scheduled by the Jets, yielded his first public comments on the report.
Favre also said on Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo called him last week -- not the other way around -- to ask for suggestions on playing through injuries.

I dont know what to think.
Even something like who called who in the Romo deal. Whats with this? How does all this get twisted around? Is it the media?
When did Millen get fired? Before or after this supposedly happened?
What baloney.

I blame the media.... they have to angle everything to make it sell. What sounds better.... Favre calls Romo... or Romo calls Favre?

It really doesnt matter because guess what? Favre isnt on the team anymore so he doesnt even know their "new" plays. Every team re-does their plays or alters some so things like this dont happen. The offense that was built around Favre is different from Rodgers now, so it doesnt mean they have the same plays.

Their new plays are not much. Their offense is still pretty much the same it was when Brett left. Announcers have said that many times before. That's why the big stir about him supposedly callin the Lions.
