Default The "Brett Favre is a scumbag" thread

Between 2016 and 2019, the Mississippi Department of Human Services and nonprofits associated with it allegedly misspent more than tens of millions of dollars in federal Temporary Assistance For Needy Families funds that should have gone to the poorest families in the poorest state. More than $5 million of those funds went toward a volleyball-stadium project at the University of Southern Mississippi favored by retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre and $1.1 million went to Favre himself.

Dammit, one of my favourite QB’s and he does something completely stupid like this.

I mean, texting photos of your junk is pretty dumb too, but this is way over the top. And it’s not like he even needed the money.

Abby Wambach plans to exit drug company linked to Brett Favre welfare fraud case


Quote:
American soccer legend Abby Wambach told ESPN that she intends to fully divest herself from a concussion drug company that is backed by Brett Favre and is at the center of a Mississippi welfare fraud case.

Wambach, a World Cup winner and two-time gold medalist who is in the National Soccer Hall of Fame, was a member of the sports advisory board for Odyssey Health, a drug company that has said it is developing a nasal spray designed to treat concussions. Odyssey Health's top investor is Favre.
Quote:
In an email to ESPN on Thursday, Wambach indicated it wasn't until she was contacted earlier in the day that she first became aware of "disturbing information" about Odyssey Health. She said she had supported the company as part of a personal effort to lessen the impact of concussion-related injuries.

"Minutes after learning this new information, I initiated the process to immediately and fully divest myself from any involvement -- financial and otherwise -- with Prevacus/Odyssey Health Inc., a process that I insisted be complete by end of day today," Wambach said.

By Thursday afternoon, Wambach's connection to the company had been scrubbed from its website. NBC News was first to report about her cutting ties with the company.
Quote:
"Since I genuinely believed this company was being transparent about a product that could spare the next generation of athletes from the severe impact of concussion injuries that I endured as a professional athlete, I am profoundly angry, disappointed, and saddened by what I learned today," Wambach wrote.

Sometimes it's just greed. I've known a couple people who've done work for well known hockey players (on their houses), and they've been shafted in the thousands by them. Sometimes the people with the money are the cheapest and money thirsty out of the bunch. While I don't know what this guys' deal is, greed is a very real possibility.

Thankfully he's been retired for over a decade!

Now if we want to start a Rodgers thread, that works too because he is just as deplorable.

As a fan of the pack the before Favre, anyone else remember Don 'the Majik man' Majkowski?!?!?!, I can say its been a pleasure watching 3 decades of amazing quarterback play, only to have it later ruined by quarterback ######baggery.

Green Bay and Edmonton share the same jersey colors and it seems the same water.
