The Facts:
FOXSports' Jay Glazer broke the story during the network's pregame show Sunday morning. According to Glazer's sources, Favre spent 60 to 90 minutes on the phone with the Lions' coaches prior to their Week 2 game and "gave them a rundown of the nuances of what Green Bay does on offense." Two league sources said Sunday they had been told of Favre contacting the Lions last month, before Glazer's report. One said the report was "absolutely" true.

SI.com's Peter King said on NBC's pre-game show Sunday evening that Favre text-messaged him Sunday afternoon before the Jets' 16-13 overtime loss at Oakland and said the story was "total B.S." Favre was not asked about the report during his press conference following the Jets' loss. ... Asked about the story after the Lions' loss at Houston, Detroit defensive coordinator Joe Barry said: "If he helped us, he didn't do a very good job." The Packers beat the Lions 48-25.
