For well over a year, the public has known about Brett Favre receiving $1.1 million in Mississippi welfare funds for apparent no-show appearances, which he has since paid back.

Now, a new report from Mississippi Today has more details that tie Favre to potential political corruption in Mississippi. Favre, who played collegiately at Southern Miss, was linked on Monday to a scandal involving former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant.

Mississippi Today reported connections between Favre, a drug company he invested in, public welfare funds, and Bryant. The hall of fame QB reportedly hoped to make a significant amount of money from the investment. According to the report, Favre might have tried to leverage his relationship with Bryant.

“It’s 3rd and long and we need you to make it happen!!” Favre allegedly texted Bryant in late 2018.

“I will open a hole,” Bryant allegedly replied.

He admitted to the publication that the timeline “doesn’t look good,” but he claims he never intended to accept Prevacus stock and that he didn’t read his text messages closely enough to realize that the company had received public funding.

NEVER trust anyone who sends photos of their penis over the Internet.

Don’t see anything wrong with his (Favre’s) asking for political help... People do this kind of thing routinely at all levels of government...

I have never understood why someone would do that. I just don't get it.

I’m as big a Favre fan as you will find, but Tucker Carlson’s interview with him was horrible. Nothing on this scandal, nor the texting with the gal who who could have been his wife’s sister, or on playing for the Vikings against his original team. Was a real puff job.

Well I thought he was great in “There’s Something About Mary”

I found it hard to believe that that Copper Fit he was pushing actually worked.
