Why is Favre selling his beautiful "Black Creek Farm" estate? Pending suits? $14 million should cover some liabilities.

I met him many years ago when he was still married to Deanna. At least from my encounter he was a very nice guy and had crazy large hands (good for throwing footballs I guess).

This is so dumb. I'm sure he took advantage of his fame to sleep with women. Oh the outrage! He also asked the government for money - which happens 100 times a day and isn't illegal and apparently not even wrong for the thousands who do it. The fact that the government actually provided money for a crazy drug company in Florida, a volleyball court, outrageous speaking fees, etc. is the problem! What "consultant" out there would have not taken the funding to do their "consulting"? Again, not their fault unless they actually didn't plan to do their work.

I don't worship athletes or politicians, but Brett Favre does at least deserve his spot as one of Mississippi's athletic giants in recent history and he has at least stuck around to do things here. The folks piling on are ridiculous.

After moving from his beautiful estate is Favre moving very far?

Shad White and Novum Advisory sprung careers with Favre as a stepping stone. No charges filed all these years. Prosecutorial misconduct like the Duke rape case.

So many looking for an angle to take someone down & make lots of money in the process! It’s just a part of today’s culture🥵🥵

Yes, @ 12:39, Favre is clearly a victim.

Anonymous said...

Sounds like he had/has some personal demons, but I seriously doubt he had a clue he was being paid with funds that were being used for a purpose that was not allowed. When a state offers you money in the form of payment for services you perform or in the form of grants for a public university you support, one would assume those entities would possess some level of competence to at least be aware of whether or not they were committing fraud. There may be details I’m unaware of, but at face value, it looks like Favre got screwed over on the TANF funds by government incompetence.

Favre had help destroying Jenn Sterger's career. The then-alcoholic publisher of Dead Spin violated her confidence & went public with the dick-pic story.

Jeff Pearlman (the best writer of sports books IMO -- with the recent passing of John Feinstein) wrote a book on Favre, and this very day took up the subject on his YouTube channel.

It's worth a watch, I think.

@12:23 -- I'd say "Thanks for stopping by, Brett," or something like it, but your post is too grammatically correct and free of spelling errors.

Anonymous said...

12:50 those are the facts to refute in court. If all they have is a grammar remark I’d say Favre has little to worry about.

I covered Brett when he was in high school. In watching all of this and knowing him at Hancock North Central, my true belief that it was the death of his father, Coach Irv, that took away all of the limits he had in his life. I also know Deanna and give her credit for staying with Brett all this time. I still am sad that he has been involved in this because he was able to pay for Brittany's volleyball court on his own. I also feel sorry for Miss Bonita because she had three wild chindren to parent without Coach Irv.

Thanks. Good link.

Shout out to the person who left this comment there:

"In Mississippi, there’s a slur on folk from Favre’s neck of the woods: Coast Trash.

In his case, it was on the mark."

You can take the NFL celebrity out of Kiln, but you can't take the Kiln out of the NFL celebrity.

The Novum folks are guilty of nothing but finding the largest TANF fraud in history. Nothing but respect for them. Shad is the one who turned it into a book and a PR tour despite no charges being filed. So yeah, stepping stone for him.

Anonymous said...

For all of you that think the pics are not a big deal, please forward them to your mother, daughter, granddaughter, nieces, wife (if you are confident), etc. Then express amazement at their reaction if shocked (if not shocked, they are taking Favre's calls) As to the welfare funds, Favre's lack of curiosity regarding the source of funds is quite revealing.

@1:49 —

Guilty.

Anonymous said...

DHS self reported the fraud to Governor Phil. The State Auditor and his staff stole credit as useless middle men by cutting out the Feds. If Mike Guest heard earlier, convictions would probably already be booked and Favre's name not ran thru the mud.

Shad worked for Guest at one point.

I'm with 12:46 - It is probably correct that Farve asked Pheel for the money to build the volleyball court, but it is a stretch to think that Farve asked where the money was coming from. He could care less. The rest of his life is a different matter, and while it is distasteful, being distasteful is not against the law and has nothing to do with the TANF money.

Anonymous said...

So Netflix is good with the many other domestic abusers, murderers, and lawless thugs in the NFL but need to do a documentary on Favre?

Gotcha.

Anonymous said...

If memory serves me, in emails Farve asked the Gov. whether the emails they were posting would ever be discovered, which they were. That sounds alot like Farve knew what he was doing was wrong.

@ 7:54 — Favre is at minimum a sexual harasser and adulterer.

Did those other nefarious athletes steal money from the poor?

It’s okay to condemn a waste of skin, even if he played for your team.

My alma mater hired a POS named Hugh Freeze a couple years ago. Because he’s human filth, I no longer actively support my team by buying season tickets & traveling to games.

Having dignity is a good thing.

(Trying to remember where Freeze went to college. It escapes me at the moment.)

Ah, Netflix, Hollywood, we'll certainly get the real story with nothing but the facts now.

Ignorance, and especially "willful ignorance" is not a defense.

No more Favre rates?

Netflix, home of the underaged child orgasm scene, and now an incest scene, wants us all to know about Brett Favre’s womanizing.

And poor Benny, he doesn’t “know how (Favre) sleeps at night,” while small towns in the district he represents deals with mental illness, due to, well, probably can’t say it here, but we all know why (and Netflix won’t be doing a doc about this, will they?).

Why don’t we get rid of every NFL womanizer, then see what that lineup looks like? 9:32 PM has the right idea, but only one in a million would give up watching sports based on principle. We learned this during the NFL backed Defund/Abolish the Police BLM scam.

Amen!

Ignorance is actually a defense against prosecution in this instance. Willful ignorance, not so much. Neither shield from repayment of the funds. I’m sure Southern returned the funds for the volleyball court and Favre returned some speaking fees if I recall. Beyond that, Favre is off the hook unless the ignorance is willful. The problem I have with the feds is that they routinely destroy lives and businesses by piling on ridiculous charges and accusations to brow beat innocent people into admitting guilt to avoid total destruction. It’s not driven by anything remotely related to justice. It’s that prosecutors, immune to personal repercussions, think nothing of destroying lives to avoid a shutout.
Add to it that you can lump in some poor personal behavior of an embarrassing nature, and the public lines up to throw stones. We get played everyday in ways we can’t fathom. Discernment is a rare commodity these days.

9:32 - Please explain to us what he was ever found guilty of? Stealing money? Where. Please show the proof or conviction.

You are laughable.

As far as his personal life, I don’t agree with his decisions, but they sure don’t warrant making a Netflix show about them.

Now go back to your shift at Sonic.

All of those pleading good ole boy Favre didn't know where the money came from, this text message from him to Nancy New makes it obvious he knew he was doing things he shouldn't: “If you were to pay me is there anyway the media can find out where it came from and how much?”

Anonymous said...

2:31, now do Deshawn Watson...

Favre is not a choirboy, but it's clear the Netflix doc is a hatchet piece.

While the NFL is full of convicts and scumbags, Netflix decides to aim at Favre?

The State of Mississippi is at fault for misappropriation of all that money, not Favre.

Anonymous said...

8:09, I'll play your silly game. Deshaun Watson sexually harassed massage girls. Shame on him. Brett Favre harassed Ms. Berger, shame on him, but she's an adult and he's an adult. None of that mickey mouse crap arises to taking money meant for poor people to fund a multi-millionaire's pet projects. I'm sure Favre appreciates you toting his water bottle, though.

Anonymous said...

8:43: Someone asks how this former QB robbed the poor ole little people of Mississippi, and that is your silly reply? The guy got paid, per his contract. If this was not ethical, perhaps there is a discussion to be made. However, I have seen nothing but a straw man argument that Tues him to getting this money illegally.

If anything, it falls on the state and whoever facilitated that payment.

Now go back into your hole.

Anonymous said...

7:35 He took money meant for people that can't afford groceries. Defend him if you must, but I think he's got a lot to answer for and he has ruined his legacy. It's not something I rejoice over as a USM alum and former fan. Sadly, the coast trash guy has it right in regard to Favre. He's not the hero you think he is. Maybe one of the Manning boys will be better for you to look up to.

Shocking to see so many Favre apologists on JJ and around the state. You act like it’s a personal insult to you that people call out Favre for what he did. Have you read all of the texts? If not, then what is your opinion based on? If you have, and still think he didn’t know it was Welfare money, your not very bright.

Have you read the texts?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
