So according to a report from Brendan Kuty on SNY.tv, Brett Favre today admitted to chatting with former Lions GM Matt Millen about the Packers’ gameplan against the Lions, which the Lions then used to stomp the Packers. Of course, newsmakers ESPN refused to report the story, which had developed over the last week, for fear that they might do something to tick off His Favreness.

Eric Mangini rightfully dismissed talk that Favre’s info could have aided the Lions, saying that knowledge changes hands all the time in the NFL with little or no benefit.

He’s right, you know. Plus, exactly what gameplan information does Brett Favre know? Does Brett Favre really know any scripted plays? As far as we’re concerned, his half of the conversation probably went something like this:

“Hey Matt, hunting’s great, but guess what? I know the Packers’ gameplan against your Lions, at least based on what we did last year. It’s this:

“FAVRE! FAVRE! FAVRE! FAVRE! FAVRE!”

Of course, complex as that strategy is, it would have been difficult for a mind like Matt Millen’s to recite it for his team. We imagine Millen, who might be the worst GM in the history of sports, probably recapped his conversation sort of like this:

“Gobble gobble muck! Mustache, sausage, FAVRE!”

And so the Lions beat the Packers.
