The NFL World Is Absolutely Flaming Brett Favre’s Claim That He’s Been ‘Smeared’ And Did ‘Nothing Wrong’

On Tuesday morning, Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre publicly addressed his alleged involvement in a Mississippi welfare scandal for the first time and declared his innocence while proclaiming that he’s been “unjustly smeared in the media.”

NFL fans are crushing Brett Favre’s first public comments about his alleged involvement in a Mississippi Welfare Scandal

Unsurprisingly deciding to give the exclusive comments to Fox News, Favre — who had his private texts about the welfare funds released publicly — claimed that he’s been the victim of a media smear campaign while outright stating that he did “nothing wrong.”

“I have been unjustly smeared in the media. I have done nothing wrong, and it is past time to set the record straight. No one ever told me, and I did not know, that funds designated for welfare recipients were going to the University or me,” the 53-year-old Favre told Fox News.

“I tried to help my alma mater USM, a public Mississippi state university, raise funds for a wellness center. My goal was and always will be to improve the athletic facilities at my university,” the former NFL quarterback claimed.

Needless to say, given how Favre has been seemingly implicated in the alleged scheme, the NFL world is absolutely crushing the comments made by the former Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, and Minnesota Vikings signal caller.

Favre, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame after 20 seasons in the NFL, was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991. After being traded to the Packers the following year, Favre forged a Super Bowl-winning career 15-year-long with Green Bay before spending his final few seasons with the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings.
