Any Brett Favre character conspiracy news?

[Fritz]

That must be such a weird conversation between lawyers - arguing about interest rates.

I think he did dodge a bit of a bullet there. The state declined to press charges, because based on the information they gathered they didn't feel a conviction was likely. Which is good. I don't hate the guy, don't wish him any misery - if the AG doesn't feel that criminal charges are appropriate, good for him. I'm happy for him. He still did what he did, and I'd rather he hadn't, because I'm disappointed in him. But I like going through life not having to accept that the guy I loved to watch for so many years had been convicted of a pretty shitty felony.

The one problem is that the state can always change their minds, plus there's still the possibility of federal charges. Favre sat for a 9-hour deposition (I think) in his civil case 2 months ago, which most lawyers would probably have advised against. He could have pled the 5th and not said a word, but instead, he answered a hell of a lot of detailed questions, and if he said anything during that 9 hours that contradicts his previous testimony or statements (or offered additional information that the prosecution did not have prior to the deposition), he could quickly find himself indicted after all.

Hopefully, it doesn't come to that. We know that crimes were committed, because at least 7 others who were working with him have pled guilty. But right now, the official position of the government is that they do not have reason to believe that Favre was one of the people who committed crimes. Just that simple. As long he didn't say anything incriminating in the deposition, that's the way it's going to go into the history books and all he's going to need to do is pay back a bunch of money.

Hey Frozen Tundra, can you do a fellow Packer fan a favour??
Now that I’ve asked I’m sure you wil.
Can you please keep me informed going forward on any news about my boy, Brett Favre?

I find it hard to hear anything bad about one of the biggest Sports Heroes of my lifetime.

My top theory again that I like most is that Brett’s wife has their family fortune under such a lock and key that my man went out and made a bad decision thinking he could make money like he use to, Brett thought it was the year 2000 when he could just go out an make a million dollars by showing up somewhere.
Yes it sure looks like he made a mistake, but not enough to for an indictment, thank God.

He still remains a Packer God in my mind, one of our greatest Packer players ever.

And I know it’s my own darn fault for loving the guys so much!
