Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers, Tampering Vikings and The Continuing Soap Opera

The Brett Favre soap opera took another turn yesterday as FoxSports.com reported that the Packers have filed tampering charges against the Vikings for allegedly contacting Favre during the off-season.

The Packers claim that Darrell Bevell, who was an assistant coach with the Packers and is a friend of Favre’s, has been in contact with him during the off-season.

Some reports even claim Favre had a conversation with Brad Childress.

If the charges turn out to be true, the Vikings will probably lose a draft pick.

Let's assume the Childress conversation rumors are just that, rumors.

I'm curious—if Favre and Bevell are friends, short of a tape recorded conversation, how are they supposed to prove the two were talking business and not pleasure?

I’m so insanely sick of the Favre situation.

The man is a me-first, lime-light seeking, overrated has-been quarterback who hasn’t had a decent post-season run since I was in high school.

His esteemed career has featured some of the most atrocious post-season games in NFL history.

He’s the only player to throw a pick-six to end a playoff game on two separate occasions.

He consistently makes two team-killer plays for every one highlight reel play.

He plays his worst in the biggest games, see his wonderful performance against the Cowboys this season.
