[QUOTE="RainX, post: 234454, member: 803"] Here's a slight update on this situation from the AP: [url]http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN_PACKERS_FAVRE?SITE=PAYOK&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT[/url] [i][b]AP Source: Packers allege tampering by Vikings[/b] By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers have filed tampering charges against the Minnesota Vikings alleging the team made inappropriate contact with Brett Favre, a person familiar with the Packers' complaint told The Associated Press Wednesday night. The person, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said Packers officials have expressed their belief that interest from the Vikings was driving Favre's sudden change of heart about playing football in 2008. "They feel like Favre had something (in place), and that's why he was so anxious to get his release all of a sudden," the person said. The tampering charges were first reported by Foxsports.com earlier Wednesday. The person said the league already has reviewed evidence provided by the Packers, and team officials believe a league examination of telephone records would indicate more than "normal contact" between Favre and Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, a former Green Bay assistant. According to the person, Packers officials also believe the contact began before Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, formally asked the Packers to release him. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league had no comment on the report. Cook did not return a telephone message left by The Associated Press earlier Wednesday. The tampering charges added a new twist to the Favre saga, which seemed to be over when Favre retired in early March but now has been sizzling for several weeks.[/i] [/QUOTE]
