Brett Favre's defamation lawsuit against Pat McAfee is being moved to federal court.
Sports and betting lawyer Daniel Wallach has confirmed to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio that McAfee requested to remove the case to federal court from Lamar County, Mississippi, where it was originally filed.
Florio noted the decision to remove the case from Mississippi was the "only play" for McAfee because "home cooking exists" in state courts.
Favre, who is from Mississippi, filed three separate defamation lawsuits against McAfee, Shannon Sharpe and Mississippi State Auditor Shad White on Feb. 9.
