Philly fodder
Center Mike Flanagan hadn't read in its entirety an opinion column regarding Brett Favre that appeared Thursday in the Philadelphia Daily News. Nevertheless, he was outraged by the gist of it.
Written by Don Russell, the column itemized some of the less-memorable moments in Favre family history. Russell referred to Favre as "Saint" Brett and mocked the notion that the death of Irvin Favre on Dec. 21 had had some bearing on the Packers' playoff fortunes.
"The guy's a scumbag," Flanagan said. "I'm embarrassed to be the same species that man is. You don't do that. Involving his family is so classless."
The Packers hardly need any more motivation.
"It's gotten around," Flanagan said. "I think guys know about it. For sure, when game time comes around, everybody will know about it."We were talking earlier. Should Brett know? It will be hard to keep away from him, I'm sure."
