In October last year, former Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings legend Brett Favre generated headlines… for the wrong reasons. The quarterback was involving in a scandal that involving him accepting a sum of $1.1 million for a speaking appearance he no-showed back in 2017 and 2018. Now, new texts show that the scandal runs much, much deeper.
In an investigative article by Anna Wolfe of Mississippi Today, texts from Brett Favre show the quarterback asking numerous times for funds from Mississippi officials. The grand total of the former Packers QB’s spending turns out to be just over $8 million, according to Wolfe.
