First, play the diva for several off-seasons and hold your team — and their fans — hostage to your whims.Second, after you’ve finally retired, tell bald-faced lies when the itch to play again proves too much for you.
Third, give no verbal support at all to the young man tapped to replace you, even though for three years he’s been nothing but a loyal to you.
Fourth, after you’re traded elsewhere, try to hurt your old team — and their fans — by calling up one of your old team’s opponents and spilling club secrets.
The first three items are documented facts; the fourth is alleged in a report by FoxSports.Com’s Jay Glazer, who says the former Green Bay quarterback, now with the Jets, called the Detroit staff to dish all he knew about the Packers offense before that team played the Lions.
A Lions executive denied the report but Lions coaches would only issue “no comment,” which is suspicious, at least. Favre denied it, but a few months back he also denied he was looking for a team to make a comeback with when, in fact, he was.
After being traded to the Jets, Favre admitted a desire to hurt the Packers, and this certainly would fit with that mind-set.
In any case, this is more reason to think that if Favre is expecting a statue outside Lambeau Field one day, he might have to wait a bit longer than he thought.
