I P_heel like this will be a big hit!

concussion syndrome-

Ha! I see what you did there, guv.

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

John 8:7

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4:38
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.

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.

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.)

Made football relevant for almost 25 years.

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?”

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.

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.

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.

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?
