    Favre pockets $1.1 million for speeches he never gave. I hope for Favre's sake he has some explanation for this and he wasn't forwarding a percentage of the money back to some crooked politician.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Favre also pocketed millions for NFC Championship games he never won.

    A no show job with misappropriated funds! Fun! How very SEC.

    The whole business angle here is twisted. The indicted former Director of Human Services in Miss. was sending funds for no particular purpose to Ted Debiase's family as well.

    But the interesting connection here is that the company that Favre was involved in promoting (Prevacus), which was developing a pill for concussion treatment, had as a member of its board one Bus Cook.

    My favorite part of the is that Brett sough money from the Governor and the Director for building a volleyball facility at Southern Miss. https://mississippitoday.org/2020/05...-dhs-spending/

    And somehow, Marcus Dupree has his name in the paper again.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Recovery of funds? Possible.

    Charges? Not likely at this point.

    All I keep thinking is, why do you "Give" a million dollars to Favre? Why commit fraud when you don't benefit from it? I just keep wondering what Favre was "doing" or "giving back" to get his million.

    Its a great question. Having read a little of the report, the investigators just don't seem to have asked why.

    The largest fraudulent purchase outlined in the indictments is a $2.15 million personal investment the News allegedly made using welfare funds into a medical device company called Prevacus, which is developing a treatment for concussions.
    The Director at the center of this was literally starting a business with Dibiase's family. I think he was trying to setup himself up with good arrangements for his post public service career.

    This could be an interesting story going forth; and a potential problem for Favre.
    Facts/comments I find interesting:

    Investigators seem to have identified the payments as unusually large for the services contracted. This could cause investigators to dig more deeply into who knew what when. It also becomes more likely that Favre will be questioned or forced to testify, since his organization was the recipient of a large portion of the questioned funds.

    Is Favre's agent intertwined with the individuals and organizations more than just for representing Favre? Again, the questions about who knew what when could involve Favre more deeply.

    If there is any hint that anyone on Favre's side knew or suspected that he wouldn't likely have to supply some of the contracted services, it could make his life more difficult. In my opinion, Favre has not always demonstrated the highest of standards for what is right, moral or fair; and this could weigh against him as the investigation goes forward.

    All it might take is a D.A. wanting to make a name for himself by going after a popular figure for Favre's life to become more difficult. A large segment of the public has enjoyed the college admissions scandals knocking down celebrities who falsified the applications of their kids. People like to see the privileged knocked down a few notches.


    It will be interesting to see where this goes, if anywhere.

    Well potentially being in a case of defrauding retirement funds would be bad.

    Wearing crocs will always be bad, no matter the scenerio.

    Sexting women is bad from a wife's point of view.

    Cashing checks doesn’t mean that.

    I had some generic type one from Walmart and I though they were comfortable for the backyard. Never tried the real brand.

    But not sexting women in general.

    I wasn't worried about corona. Patler has no co-morbidities, unless being a stickler for detail is some kind of disease.*

    However, there is that nasty age-related factor that clearly applies to me!

    At bear minimum Favre took a lot of cash and was like “Am I ever gonna have to give those two talks they paid me 1.1 million for?”

    I can kinda understand because people give me millions all the time for appearances and then just forget about scheduling the actual appearance (maybe they see my picture?), but Favre is a legit star and would actually draw a crowd.

    Shit is way messy. I hope Favre was also scammed and not actually involved. It would be very disappointing. The current reports look all bad though.
