ESPN recently sent out an internal memo saying that the rumor of Brett Favre disclosing inside information to the Lions about the Packers earlier this season shouldn't be reported on any of its networks. The memo, secured by Pro Football Talk, said the following: "Yesterday, FoxSports reported that Brett Favre spent 60 to 90 minutes before the Week Two game between the Lions and the Packers educating the Detroit coaching staff regarding the Packers' offensive strategies. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY RELIABLE SOURCES THIS REPORT IS NOT TRUE. We did NOT report it yesterday. Today, the NFL responded to the report, saying even if Favre did this he did not break any league rules. We are NOT reporting it today, because that would mean airing the erroneous report. DO NOT REPORT IT." The decision is a strange one because Fox's Jay Glazer, who reported the story, is one of the most respected and connected reporters around the league.
