In the latest turn of the soap opera known as 'Brett Favre: the '08 off-season', the Packers have filed tampering charges against the Vikings. Looks like the Vikings offensive coordinator, who was once an assistant coach with the Packers, is accused of improper contact with Favre, who is still under contract with Green Bay.
Packers say Vikings tampered with Favre
Now the question is, how will Goodell respond? He took a 5th round draft pick away from San Fancisco for tampering with Lance Briggs a few months ago. If neither Bevell nor Favre admits they talked about Favre coming to Minnesota, will Goodell use his 'preponderance of guilt' as enough to find the Vikings guilty?
Packers say Vikings tampered with Favre
In the latest twist, the Packers have filed tampering charges with the league office against the Minnesota Vikings for alleged communication with Favre, still technically a member of Green Bay, FOXSports.com has learned. The league, according to a source, is currently in information-gathering mode, speaking to members of both teams.
The Vikings were informed late last week that the allegation is that Favre has had inappropriate dialogue with Minnesota offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, a close Favre friend and former assistant coach with the Packers. Favre has sought his release from Green Bay and several rumors have swirled that Minnesota is his targeted landing place, largely due to his relationship with Bevell.
