Throughout his Mississippi welfare fund scandal, Brett Favre has pleaded innocence or, at worst, ignorance.
No, he didn't just take the $1.1 million and run, he actually did record ads for the nonprofit involved. No, he had no idea that money came from a program intended to help needy families. No, he really did pay back the money (with no interest).
A new report from Mississippi Today published Tuesday features texts that potentially blow a fairly large hole into those denials, and also explains why a man who was paid around $138 million in salary from his NFL career would take a seven-figure payout from a welfare fund.
It was all, allegedly, for a volleyball stadium.

(6,972 posts)The late Bill Russell, Ali, Bo Jackson, Billie Jean King, Althea Gibson and many others who put what popularity and fame they had to good use. I have no time for these greedy, selfish, low-morals and ethics having assholes like Farce, Tom Brady, Phil Mikelson and the like. Oh God, and that asshole Kurt Schilling has the be the biggest asshole of them all. He's one always talking about people on welfare, yet HE took and wasted $75 million dollars government millions when he blew it all on hideously designed video games. He really never paid that money back either, and he's always talking smack about President Biden being a welfare president. So, Veteran's doing their duties, and then receiving rightful medical aid which costs, yes it DOES, because they were irreparably damaged physically being in/around Halliburton's burn pits was them being welfare burdens? A lot of shit he says borders on and is racist and un-american. He needs to take his raggedy, racist ass over to ruissia ALL tRump MAGGOTS who hate this country do.
Curt Schilling Blew $75 Million in Public Funds Making Bad Video Games. Naturally, He Thinks He Should Be in Congress.
