WNSR (via ProFootballTalk) - Thom Abraham of WNSR in Nashville interviewed former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville, who defended the decision to trade Brett Favre in blunt terms.

Favre has been candid regarding his issues with alcohol and painkillers, which he eventually beat several years ago. [READ]
