The Journal Sentinel obtained a transcript of the entire interview, which included comments that were not aired last night.

In a second instance, Favre said he once tried to convince Thompson to re-sign Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle, two key linemen, but the two got away and signed elsewhere. In a third case, Favre told Van Susteren he tried to convince Thompson to interview Steve Mariucci for the head coaching job vacated by Mike Sherman. Favre said Thompson ended up hiring Mike McCarthy instead. ...
