 Three days after calling a FOXSports.com report that he talked with the Detroit Lions before their Sept. 14 game against Green Bay "total b.s.," former Packers QB Brett Favre admitted on Wednesday that he had indeed spoken with then-Lions president Matt Millen prior to the game.

Favre also said Dallas quarterback Tony Romo called him last week not the other way around to ask for suggestions on playing through injuries.
"Next thing I know, I'm calling everyone in the league, giving out secrets," Favre said. "I'm willing to help, but it's awful ridiculous."
"I did not call the Lions, nor did I call Tony Romo," a defiant Favre said Wednesday. "I don't know what else to tell everyone, but I'm not calling people."
During the call with Millen, Favre said as far as he knew, he was on the line only with Millen.
But he added that if he were "a guessing man," there's a chance other people might have been listening in on the conversation.
"I don't know," he said. "I'm telling you, I didn't have a game plan in my lap, driving home, saying, 'OK, last year, third-and-3 to (the) 6, we went ... hold on, light."'
Favre, wearing a green Jets sweat shirt and a navy New York Titans cap, held his composure throughout the news conference. He clenched his jaw a few times and only once raised his voice in anger, when he was told that former teammate Charles Woodson said if the Lions called Favre, it's OK, but not if it happened the other way around.
"Go back and tell Charles I did not call them," an irritated Favre said. "I didn't call 'em."
