ESPN Milwaukee Puts Pause on Brett Favre Appearances Amid Scandal

ESPN Milwaukee will “pause” its weekly radio appearances with Brett Favre amid the former Packers quarterback’s alleged role in the Mississippi welfare funds scandal, Front Office Sports reports.

ESPN Milwaukee hosts part of The Brett Favre Show, a weekly podcast that includes Favre’s take on the most recent Packers game. The last episode was dated September 12, and there wasn’t an episode for this past week’s Packers game vs. Chicago.

Favre is a central figure in an investigation surrounding former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant as the former quarterback reportedly helped get Bryant to use welfare funds to get the University of Southern Mississippi a new volleyball stadium.
