Wow.  A company cell phone.  Really?  So, is this just a conspiracy theorists favorite development, or what?  With the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporting that Favre used a Packers cell phone to call the Vikings to see if they wanted him to play for them (allegedly...) you have to wonder if this was on purpose.  If not, you have to wonder where Favre's head and sense of propriety are.

   Either Brett didn't care he was using Packers property to make phone calls against the league rules (arrogant), or he didn't know it was against the rules (ignorant) or he knew and was trying to get the Vikings in trouble (curious). 

   No matter which it is, it is one of the most shocking developments of the entire saga in my mind.  Perhaps this was just an "I'm Brett Favre!" moment, where consequences weren't considered, he was just looking out for number four.  Most likely he was trying to be furtive, but never once thought where the bill for the phone he had in his hand went, since I'm sure he doesn't see any other bills either, and may not live in the world you and I do where we actually look at things before we have to pay them.

   How does this change your view of the situation, if indeed he was checking on iterest before even asking the Packers for his release?  Let me know!
