Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell and Brett Favre go back a long way. At one point, there was a photo taken of them together when they were the two most prominent quarterbacks in Wisconsin, and the two went on to work together twice -- Bevell as coach, Favre as quarterback -- in Green Bay and Minnesota.
Somewhere along the way, Bevell threw out an invite to Favre: Come to Utah. We'll go to the mountains to hunt cougar.
And this is how the Hall of Fame quarterback and Bevell ended up on a daylong quest to chase down the speedy animal.
