Did Brett Favre Misappropriate the Packers' Trade Secrets?

Admission #1: one of the authors of this blog grew up in Detroit and suffered miserably while watching the Detroit Lions.
Admission #2: long ago, this same author publicly gave up hope on the Detroit Lions but privately watches their games.
Admission #3: he continues to be embarrassed by the Detroit Lions.

NOW, that having that out of the way - the NFL is all abuzz with reports that Brett Favre may have shared the Packers' play secrets with now-deposed Matt Millen in Week 2 of the season in a 90-minute teaching session.

Has anybody pointed out that the Packers rolled up 447 yards and 34 offensive points that day and beat the Lions 48-25?

In trade secrets lingo, even if Favre did it this was just a misappropriation that didn't cause the Packers any damage. Case dismissed.
