Longwell took a moment Wednesday to discuss Favre's state of mind while allegations swirl that the 41-year-old quarterback sent inappropriate text messages and racy photos to a former New York Jets employee in 2008 when Favre played for the AFC team.

"If anybody can compartmentalize over the years, he's certainly one that can do it with the best of them," said Longwell, who spent nine seasons in Green Bay and the past two in Minnesota with Favre.

Longwell said he and Favre talk "all the time" and that "in the last few weeks, we've talked a lot more and extensively than we usually have."

He did not elaborate about the conversations with Favre but did say, "I can tell by looking at him and I can tell by what he's talking about and his words how he's feeling. He'll open up and tell me, and I think he's in a pretty good place right now."

It was Longwell who told ESPN's Michelle Tafoya on the morning of the Vikings' loss to the Jets that Favre "actually broke down in tears" as he told teammates he was "sorry to have been a distraction."

The title made it sound to me like part of a eulogy, sort of the way people say, "he's in a better place now." Considering the injuries, the allegations, and the way Favre has played thus far maybe, metaphorically, that's quite fitting.

I should change the title to "Longwell eulogizes Favre." Now THAT would get some hits!

dfosterf (32m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (38m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

beast (50m) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
