For those of you who are devastated,
time will heal. New text messages show the pressure former
NFL quarterback Brett Favre was putting on then Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant. Farve requested money
for an indoor football practice facility. Things will get better. It it shall pass.
So how should the leagues support and promote an anti-racism position without becoming political and alienating fans? Thank you. Well, Brett is a great guy. I find it hard to believe, first of all,
that he intentionally meant to kill George Floyd. I mean, I don't know what led
to that video that we saw where his knee is on his neck. I know when I turn on a game,
I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play. I don't think that we should defund
the police in no way, shape or form in a. Different text exchange favor
asking you if you were to pay me. Is there any way the media
can find out where it came from? Suit was brought by the Mississippi
Department of Human Services in May, in an attempt to recover millions
in misspent money. Favre also seemingly pushed to build an
indoor practice facility to lure recruits like Deion Sanders son, cheddar, and for
funding for a pharmaceutical company. He is an investor in. Favre is also. An outspoken conservative,
an ally of former President Donald Trump. There they are
on the golf course together. Thumbs up. Now, Favre is currently embroiled in
a controversy involving the use of federal welfare funds set aside for the state of
Mississippi's most vulnerable residents, which were reportedly diverted
to Favre and others last year. Middle of last year,
my office, which includes 135 CPAs, investigators and attorneys we got a tip
in that suggested that the director of the Department of Human Services
was misdirecting money and potentially involved in an embezzlement scheme. NFL Hall of Famer. Brett Favre is facing questions tonight
of whether he knowingly took $5 million of state welfare money to build a new volleyball facility
for his daughter's team five years ago at her university and his alma mater. - The Brett Favre.
- Saga has taken yet another turn. Typical white conservative male
that stuck in his own little world, that doesn't give a damn
about anything that doesn't impact him. You would think.
Brett Favre, born and raised in Kiel, Mississippi, the any place in America have any more racist history than Mississippi? But Brett Favre is unaware. Can you tell? Dumb, dumb. Politics has always been
in sports involving. NFL Hall of Famer and ESPN host
Shannon Sharpe. 1st May remember Favre sued Shannon Sharpe,
the ex-member of Fox Sports one, who he claimed defamed him
by calling him a quote, sorry mofo to steal from the lowest of the low
in that Favre quote stole money from people that really needed that money. He wasn't the only one. I've officially been served
by Brett Favre. It's officially official.
I have been sued by Brett Favre. Here we go. Congratulations. Thank you. The only thing you should be serving
on Sundays is the Lord. I would like. To let the New York lawyers
that wrote me two letters before this thing got announced. First letter was, we would like you
to go back and erase every single video that has Brett Favre's name mentioned
in it from your YouTube library, your Twitter library, and everything else. This is a warning shot, pretty much. So I looked at that and I said,
that is hilarious. FA would file a similar claim
against McAfee and welfare. Money that was going to people
who should not have been getting it. State auditor Shad white
on the McAfee front. As many of you know. Brett Favre sued me over statements
that I made about him on this program. As I confirmed in my court papers,
and I repeat here, my statements expressed in comedic style, were based solely
on public information and allegations. I am pleased to report that based solely
on me again clarifying these points. Now, with no settlement paid,
Brett is withdrawing his suit against me. And now back to the sharp front
in October of 2023 via the World Wide Leader, Sharp's employer. That suit would be dismissed from US
District Court Judge Keith Starrett in his statement because Sharp's comments
are constitutionally protected. Rhetorical hyperbole. Using loose figurative language,
they cannot support a defamation claim as a matter of law. In his dismissal,
the judge would continue. The court also acknowledges
that from the reports in the public arena, after government investigations,
forensic forensic audits excuse me, civil litigation favors text messages very key, and favors own implicit admission
by returning $1.1 $1 million to the state. It appears to be widely believed
that the money obtained by the former quarterback for himself and the University
of Southern Miss came from welfare funds. At the time, Favre and his team
would basically say they are weighing their options on what to do next. And now, roughly eight months later,
we have one of those options. Via the Associated Press,
Ameet Vohra, who is Favre's attorney, told three fifth US Circuit Court of
Appeals judges in New Orleans, Louisiana, that the lawsuit should be revived,
arguing that Shannon Sharpe accused Brett Favre, who has not
been charged with a crime of theft. Mike Florio, a lawyer who is now running
Pro Football Talk for NBC sports, would give his opinion on the matter. The legal question for now is whether
a reasonable listener could interpret Sharp's comments as indicated that Favre
actually stole money from Mississippi residents if the prior ruling is upheld. Favre's next move, after seeking
a rehearing before the full Fifth Circuit, would be to request the US
Supreme Court to take up his case. If the decision is overturned,
it would go back to the lower court for further proceedings. Well, isn't that interesting? The United States Supreme Court,
which is bought and paid for by the likes of Leonard Leo, conservative think tanks. Dark money could potentially make a ruling
on someone in Trump's orbit. And even going further in Trump's
inner circle that they play golf together, talk about each other glowingly, have made public appearances together,
whether it is on the course or through the media having multiple
discussions on various subjects. It seems on the surface, in my view,
that could be a power play. Do I think that it will
reach the Supreme Court? No, I do not.
But it is a very savvy move to know that the conservative Scotus is likely on Favre's side, because they have shown
errant ruling after errant ruling that leans towards these ideals via A.J. Perez of Front Office sports was done.
Fantastic work on this case. Favre has long denied any wrongdoing
as it relates to the $8 million Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,
or TANF funds that went to Favre, a volleyball arena at his alma mater, USM Prevacus, the drug company that Favre
invested in and served as a spokesperson for before the Mississippi welfare scandal
came to light in 2020. If you want to learn more about that,
check out a clip on demand. Where we go over his pharmaceutical
companies that he tries to launch. Favre has not been charged criminally, although he is among
more than 40 defendants in a lawsuit filed by Mississippi's welfare agency
that seeks to recover some of the more than $77 million in misspent TANF funds. The three judge appeals panel
is expected to rule in the coming weeks. So this is something that you
absolutely have to keep your eyes on. Where are they going to rule?
When is it going to come? It should be noted Sharp's attorney,
Joseph Terry, would say this. The judges that Sharp's remarks
were clearly an opinion offered when he was asked about a news report
on the Mississippi welfare scandal and how the reports will affect Favre's legacy. If you read his comments in context, it's
quite clear that he was expressing his opinions rhetorically, Terry would say. So I suppose we end with this. What do you make of it?
How do you think they will rule? Do you believe that this should continue? Leave a thought
in the comment section below. We appreciate you all. Have a great day. If you can and are willing,
