The legendary quarterback was recently exposed for taking part in a welfare scam that misappropiated $5 million. The money went toward a new volleyball stadium. Texts surfaced that showed Favre asking the then-governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant, if the money could be traced to him. Essentially, he knew what he was doing was wrong. Unfortunately, this is not the first unfortunate incident the former Green Bay Packers star has been involved in. For legendary quarterbacks like Favre, scandals like this can totally taint anything he did on the field, which was win a Super Bowl, three MVP awards and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jeff Pearlman wrote a biography about the quarterback, but he doesn't want anyone to read it now.
