If its not his team anymore how can he commit treason? I dont have a problem with players informing on their former teams (it happens all the time) but I dont like the part where Favre called Det on his own. If Det had called and asked about GB's offense I wouldnt have a problem with Favre talking but for Favre to call out of the blue bothers me.

EXACTLY!! He called them on his own. He's a crybaby who didn't get his way, so he resorts to classless behavior.
Favre is friends with Millen and was supposedly calling the Lions to speak with him about a hunting trip. Who knows what the extent of the call was exactly, but I would think this is pretty common. What's the difference between this or signing a division rival in camp only to pick his brain?

It may be classless and poor sportsmanship but it isnt treason.
The idea that a player might be willing to spill secrets about his old team certainly isn’t new in NFL circles. It’s almost expected that when a player leaves one team and joins another, he will share inside information with his new coaches—especially if they were preparing to play against his old team.

I agree that this happens all the time when guys change teams but Det isnt Favre's new team and for him to call them is what doesnt sit quite right with me. I dont have a big problem with him doing it but IMO it seems petty to me.
Also, I know he is friends with Millen but I though Millen was gone before this call was supposed to have happened.

Millen was fired on 9/24, 10 days after the Packers and Lions played in week 2.
