Brett Favre is known for 3 big things.
- Being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever despite throwing the ball to the other team more times than any other QB in NFL history.
- Going to the New York Jets at age 40 and immediately sending a photo of his penis to a Jets reporter he just met.
- Stealing millions from Mississipi’s welfare fund that Favre would spend on renovations to his daughter’s college volleyball facility and to invest in a shady concussion drug that never came close to being developed.
Sure, Favre seems like a villain but during his testimony at a congressional hearing on federal welfare reform, he revealed he is suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
During his opening statement before Congress, @BrettFavre says he’s recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

“Sadly, I also lost my investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,” Favre said during the House hearing on Tuesday “As I’m sure you’ll understand, while it’s too late for me — I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s — this is also a cause dear to my heart. Recently, the doctor running the company pleaded guilty to taking TANF money for his own use.”
How can you be mad at Brett Favre now that you know he has Parkinson’s?
All the way back in 2017, Favre received $1.1 million in TANF funds (Temporary Assistance For Needy Families) for faux-no-show speeches. He was essentially handed $1.1 million for advertised appearances he didn’t have to show up to.
Then the former Mississipi governor, Phil Bryant, gave Favre $5 from those same TANF funds to build a brand new volleyball arena at Southern Miss, the college where Favre’s daughter plays volleyball.
Favre is one of 47 sociopaths who joined forces to steal nearly $77 million from the poorest people in quite literally the poorest state in America. Towns in Mississipi don’t even have clean drinking water.
Brett Favre made $140 million in the NFL but needed more money and it had to be at the expense of those who need it most.
But unfortunately, Brett Favre has Parkinson’s Disease so you are not allowed to be mad at him. All of Favre’s evil deeds are erased and we must divert our thoughts and prayers away from the victims of his greed over to him because he’s willy willy sick.
I’m already preparing his obituary to make sure it starts with “he was no angel”.
I’d hate for Favre to spend the final years of his life shaking uncontrollably as people scream at him for pulling a reverse Robin Hood.
Next time you have a negative comment about Favre stealing from the neediest people, just remember how achy his little joints are.
Poor guy. Well, not literally poor thanks to the Welfare funds in his bank account.
