Oh Brett Favre. Even when you're not doing anything, you're still news. Why? Because it turns out you're an absolute idiot, that's why.

As you may remember, last week it came out that the Packers had filed tampering charges against the Vikings for allegedly talking to Favre. Of course, the question was, who was calling whom? And how in the heck did the Packers find out Favre was even talking to the Vikings?

Well, now we know.

It turns out that Favre used a Packers issued cell phone to make "repeated calls to coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell." Doh.

On a 1 to 10 scale of stupidity, that's about a 17.

Obviously when the Packers checked the team phone records, they found out exactly what was going on.

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that the Vikings will get in trouble for tampering. After all, Bevell is a friend of Favre's, and was Favre's QB coach in Green Bay from '03-'05.

But, uh, those calls to Childress. Those are going to be a lot tougher to explain. Childress and Favre have ZERO history.

If the Vikings do wind up getting in trouble for tampering, they'll either get fined, lose draft picks, or both. Which means Favre will have managed two officially screw two teams without even having set foot on the field. That's gotta be some kind of record.
