The fact that he thought he could get away with it says everything about his character. He probably would have without good journalists doing their job.
Makes one question how clean or dirty the money is on any major public project is in any place in the country
You could throw a stone in a room full of journalists and you wouldn't hit a "good" one.
@@JerdMcLean What would be good journalism by your definition then
@@andrewmeyer4124 tip of the shit iceberg...
To be fair Favre thinks all journalists are too busy with their Onlyfans to investigate a good ol' boy like him. :|
Stealing is one thing, stealing millions from the people who need it most is another.
But stealing millions you don’t need from people who need it far more than you do is quite possibly the most heinous form of theft.
How to steal millions from those who need it the most? Easy answer...by sitting at the house and refusing to go to work or make any attempt to better your life and collecting a free check...taken from the dime of the hard working middle class Americans...who go to work and have to foot that bill...FICAOASD is highway robbery...what did people do to earn the welfare money they collect... people who are on welfare are robbing Americans...flat out ..the people who need help the most are the middle class Americans who want to be home owners but are stuck in a check to check cycle...why on the other hand people on welfare are living in high class hotels with amenities like a on call maintenance man...so since when did we start feeling bad for people who are on welfare lol...here's the bafoonery in the premise of the favre allegations...Favre to money from the welfare fund to put into the Mississippi educational system for higher learning...aka to help out some college kids...he didn't use the money to buy a boat or live a lavish life...he got money...he uses the money to invest in a Mississippi based college sports program...and a pharmaceutical start up for concussion meds...sounds like a hero to me...your a leech...who is yourself profiting off of the name of Favre by creating this elaborate video which I'm sure is monetized...you could have made more money if you had just went to Quantico and became a special agent for the federal bureau of investigations....
Don't need, have, and can easily raise too. He's a monster
As a kid who was born and raised in Mississippi, this is embarrassing. I was born in Hattiesburg, I am a fan of USM sports, my family mostly consists of USM allumni, some of them who went to college with Farve. And this? This a spit in the face of the people of Mississippi. If you even go 5 miles out from any large city's downtown area there, you can see the economic wasteland the majority has to deal with. Farve and the government officials of Mississippi have disappointed me to the fullest extent. And what a shame, many people there affected will never get to hear this case because the media never likes to talk bad about the celebrities of Mississippi. A goddamn embarrassment this is.
So you also know how model citizens the rest of the family is, especially his dopehead brother!
Universities don't really care about the people around them. Notre dame is another college where the town around it is an economic wasteland. They make insane money with sports and academic research but don't care about their essential workers who are underpaid and face threats of their housing being turned into parking lots and malls. Many universities also gentrify when they expand their campuses and butt heads with the city politics over it. They supposedly "contribute" to their cities economy but the people at the bottom never benefit from it.
I live in picayune,Mississippi and you can definitely see it down here
I’m from Hattiesburg too. Favre coached at Oak Grove when I went there. Met him many of times and even told him I looked up to him. He is a disgusting human being and I regret ever being proud to have Favre as a Hattiesburger
We have the same problem here in Kentucky. We actually have great state leadership again. It’s the local politicians that are so corrupt. And it is absolutely disgusting, you’re right. Just the blatantness of it all. And as an average citizen you feel so powerless against it all. But at least the whistle was blown on this case. With all the digital evidence these days, more and more of these cases will be discovered. These computer derived pieces of evidence can’t be burned like pieces of paper. They’re around forever. And for people with things to hide, I hope they lose sleep over it until they’re caught.
Brett Favre shows how innovative he is by really putting a new spin on the term “wage theft.”
yoo hi emily
@@jonesisnotarobot Hi lol
This whole country needs to be audited. It's hard to say how many trillions of dollars are being stolen in schemes like this.
Lol you just realized this? Maybe you’ve never heard of the Koch’s, Mercers, etc.
@@zeitgeistx5239 Fax. And who knows if this scheme even gets exposed if you take out the name Brett Favre
@@zeitgeistx5239 No, I'm not just now realizing it. It just needs to be done.
Audit the Fed
should be the number one concern of all tax paying citizens. Lets see just where thus money goes please? maybe?
What Favre has done is disgusting. Absolutely no excuse for this behaviour
Not even that deep
Who gives a shit
@@imtoxiq_ So Farve takes millions from the poorest state in the country and it’s not that deep? Make it make sense
But he won a Super Bowl. I forgive him. Mississippi sucks anyway, they’re just us with way less culture and landmarks. Sorry Mississippi but it’s really just the truth
@@imtoxiq_ It is! Jail time coming up for farve! ✌️🇺🇲
Brett Favre said "I hope the media never finds out about this because it looks bad" is upset that the media found out and has reported that it looks bad.
As a non american who was only vaguely aware of all the scandal this was very interesting thank you.
Yeah because the media isn’t pushing this narrative like they would a black player
where are you from ichy?
America! 😭
I knew about this situation and the gist of it, but never knew the ins and outs and full details of the case. Thank you for making this
Nice pfp my boy
I am glad those people got arrested but it’s unfortunate to think that their are probably a lot of other people in this country doing to same thing and won’t get caught.
@@spidermonkeynuts3851 I agree honestly, but when the money they are taking from the government is for people in need who need it I think it’s pretty fucked personally.
@@spidermonkeynuts3851 🤡
You mean the man who inappropriately sexted Jets employees isn't a good person? I'm shocked.
yea idk why people think farves a good person
"Sexting" someone makes you a bad person? So what's that make Kobe Bryant after he raped a 19 year old girl?
Absolutely gobsmacked and befuddled.
There certainly is a hero in this story. Anna Wolfe. Having the guts to expose this monkey business within the government takes guts. And it takes real tenacity to go after these pigs for years on end. She is without a doubt a real hero here. A role model to young girls on how to conduct yourself.
A role model for all people to follow.
Totally not ngos ripping off taxpayers. Totally not public employees, aka government bureaucrats, aka the "deep state" who uncovered the "monkey business." But yeah, right on lol
The fact this was WELFARE theft. People needed money. The people who needed this money are the kind where $5000 is a life changing amount.
Thank you for putting light on this Set.

Pretty sickening to see how far from everyday struggles from most impoverished individuals Favre got. And how he gleefully laundered money to fund a pet project to please his own daughter, being consciously done or not. Especially in one of the most impoverished state in the US. From an European viewer, jfc, I'm glad these great journalists and honest State auditors brought the scam to light. Everyone involved in the scandal needs to be behind bars, Favre included.
Thank you for doing this video, this was absolutely eye-opening and needed. Cheers from France, brother.
Mississippi is the poorest state in the U.S.A
Such a damn shame to see a legend like Favre behave just like a corporate billionaire/politician.
A lot more people actually on welfare committing crimes than corporate billionaires
@@DavidRamseyIII geez i wonder if crime is related to the material conditions(or lack thereof) of a person
@@t3rrschxx102 or maybe don’t take anything that’s not yours regardless if you are poor or not
@@t3rrschxx102 Can't believe someone misinterpreted such an obvious assessment, either. Favre using the same type that tactics billionaires use to get rich and stay rich while pretending to be for the people.
@@DavidRamseyIII educate yourself then come back to this video
Well it's nice to see someone actually talking about & acknowledging this as opposed to many others who are just sweeping this under the rug
Chris Long is a legend
I miss when he did Ryen Russillo's podcast after every Football Sunday.
This was excellent, man. Thanks for making it.
Caaaaaptaaaaiiinnnn Miiiidnight!
Did Brett even realize that his daughter wasn’t gonna be there forever and she’d only be at that facility for a couple years once it’s built 😂
If I remember correctly, she transferred to another school anyway
@@cehamlet89 thats actually hilarious
Yea i heard she didn't even make the team !! What a joke !!!
He doesn't care, it's not his money being used
She ended up at LSU in a different league, beach volleyball. 😀
This was really well made, man! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this together and for shedding some light on the terrible things Brett and his cohorts have done.
It really is a shame that your well researched and well thought out videos, like this one, get overshadowed by easily thrown together tier list videos.
Great job on the video
Man I loved this guy so much as a player. Always disappointing when your heroes aren’t good people
Never keep heroes in man.
Atleast this confirms his personality. Not the first scummy thing Favre has done, won't be the last
So am I. This is just hard to understand.
I always believe Bret Farve was not a friend of black people. That phony friendship between him and Warren Sapp was obvious and now with this welfare fraud case, it now confirmed.
@@fulltimecatholic1994 Easy to understand when you look at his character and politics. Contempt for the poor is at the heart of the social darwinist perspective of the political right, as is the encouragement of selfishness and greed--as long as it's them who are doing the stealing, and not the poor or minorities.
Support local journalism or else this shit will continue to thrive
If he gets locked up, he could start a "The Longest Yard" team in prison.
The way you edit your vids just make the video 10x better
Here before the NFL copyright claims it
Your channel is such a gem, man. There are so many low effort/hot take football channels and yours just stands above the rest. I always learn a lot from your videos, whether I'm aware of the stories they cover or not.
Also smiled at the Kendrick beat used about a third of the way in. Background music choice continues to be 10/10.
I’ve been waiting for you to post all month😭
got more coming soon do not fear
@@SetTheEdge hello Set the Edge how are you doing
@@SetTheEdge I don’t know why the big media pods are not even talking about it
0 bias, 0 side-taking, only a hint of politics. Good job making this
weird comment
@@john-wp5ti very
This is an inherently political situation.
@@assassino1480 “political” to them just means mentioning the existence of people who aren’t straight, cis, white men.
@@john-wp5ti weird comment
Lost practically all respect when I heard he had done this, but as you went into detail on the depth of this horror, it helps paint a more clear picture.
I gained respect... people on welfare are lazy leaches to society...I have no sympathy for their plight...get a job ..
I think when you get into it, there needs to be a close look at how many different states use federal funds. As a former state employee, I know from experience that my state made a real kabuki dance out of moving those funds around to get the State leader's priorities paid for. Farve wasn't doing anything that isn't being done in states all over the country. If you really want to cook a snake, take a close look at the governor whose watch this took place on. Bryant is a smarmy good old boy holy roller. None of this would have happened if he hadn't pulled strings.
Mississippi like to give these welfare funds to the private sector bec you know gop bullshit on how the private sector will do it better than the govt. Thats how this shit happens
I’m glad that you’re using your platform to put a voice behind this
Brett should've just donated his own money and taken the tax deduction. It would've saved him a ton of grief...smh
The dude is from Mississippi...do you really think Mississippians consider things that deeply?
This video was so well done. Taught me a lot about this situation. Thank you.
Thank you for putting this out there, and for linking your sources and how to donate to the journalists who investigated this
I really appreciate that your love for the game and the culture surrounding football extends well beyond what happens on the field
You’re able to humanize its stars and also hold them accountable.
I love football, and I acknowledge it is very flawed in many ways. I have seen it create incredible opportunities for so many of my fellow Polynesians, but I have also seen that it has taken a major physical and mental toll on many of its players. I have also seen many celebrities of the game ruin many lives with little consequence.
I think we deserve better from football, and I think sparking honest discussion like you have is important if we want this game and this culture to improve
Excellent video off of your usual subject. This is a very important and appropriate one at the same time. The public needs to know about these things.
LMAO at the idea this channel cares about "poor people".
But for Favre being involved this is irrelevant to him.
"Fraud/embesselment" happen daily
And the only time sports fan wanna discuss "girl's volleyball" is to tear down a hero.
Classy.
Your Story telling is great, always excited for a new video even if it’s not on a player/topic i necessarily care about. Please do more deep dives on darker topics, and stories of players, this was a GREAT change of pace
This is so wild. Thanks for documenting the situation like this. Favre... just what the hell is wrong with him? Sick man.
Fantastic video and great info gathering. Thanks man.
The last line of this was fantastic. Great video.
Edge I love your vids. You covered this very well. Very nicely done my dude.
13:58 judge is a savage I love it
Thank you sincerely for making this video man!!!!
This is the kinda work I like to see from you. Keep it going!
Amazing video! This video has greatly heightened an already high level of respect for your productions.
The governor’s message to Favre saying “I’m too old for federal prison” to me says it all.
So many people need to go to jail over this, considering they all knew they were conspiring to break the law.
This is way deeper then I thought
This is much better researched and generally written than a lot of similar videos I’ve seen, one of the slimiest celebrity scandals in recent memory as well.
He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker.
Excellent journalism
Bro, you and FlemLo are out here killin it. Great vid!
As always fantastic video. Thoughtful and considerate in a way that most football channels aren't.
I already didn't like Favre, and when this story broke I disliked him even more, but it wasn't until this video that I realized how deep Favre's despicable theft goes. He should be kicked out of the Hall of Fame for this.
One has nothing to do With the other, get a grip and cancel yourself
Excellent video, thank you
Absolutely incredible video
The only consequence for Favre is that now 1 out of 10 Packers fans will have him in 2nd place as their favourite Packer ever instead of 1st.
It's especially sad when a person who could have done so much good performed so much evil.
I'm from Mississippi. You left one thing out, about his Wife's involvement with her Cancer's org. She also had Breast Cancer and then Started it. So to use those funds like that after having it. Is just sad.
Holy crap it was TANF money? That's like funneling money out of food stamps lmao. This is mustache-twirling levels of villainy
It's why we should have gone back to the old ways of having people apply and if they qualify for assistance they receive it directly from the federal government instead of block grants to states. We changed the policy because politicians, Reagan being one, started beating the drum beat people out there were committing fraud with very little evidence other than a few people here or there. Instead we went to block grants in which fewer people receive funds and a lot of money often gets diverted into areas it's not intended for and/or corruption such as the Favre case. They wanted to get rid of corruption but ended up creating more and a less efficient system because after all, we don't really want to help poor people.
If I'm Favre's attorney I'm blaming this all on CTE
You're vids are top notch. This channel is gonna be big soon.
Thanks for doing this. I brought it up at work the other day and no one new. Even the Packer fans. I wish it was a bigger story.
I go to the university that this happen the most ironic thing about this is, the stadium “he built” for his daughter, she never even played in she transferred before it was built. And no it’s not because they were feeling the heat, the scandal came out over a full year after she left
OOF
Are u still making videos? Love ur stuff! 👌
I played for Farve in high school at Oak Grove high. He was heralded as a god by people there and he wouldn't even look at you if you weren't a starter. Not a fan of him at all after that. Hope he gets what he deserves in court.
Props on all the gruesome details of this video. People need to know how low of a waste of oxygen number 4 really is. Great work.
You deserve way more subs, man. Great content.
Well done.
Those texts demonstrate that Favre still hasn't learned to watch out for potential interceptions.
Well covered. Hope this gets more attention from other channels and people in nfl news space
Great video!
badass video brotha. proud.
Great video
Extremely based, STE. Very cool ! In all seriousness, excellent video on this story. Wish more serious journalists provided coverage like this.
Great video, loved the end when you got real.
This is good journalism
Really hope they can put together a case that puts him behind bars. Fines won't do anything to prevent him from repeating this with the next set of crooks that end up in office.
The "Good Old Boys" system, hard at work.. Keep poor people broke and the prisons full.
The saddest part of all this? That's the drip of melting ice on the top of the world's biggest iceberg. For every one person going down for those crimes, thousands get away with it, mostly the biggest fishes in that a-hole filled lake
What's sad is that this kind of activity is going on throughout the country. Favre was just dumb enough to get caught.
You would think he would learn about sending messages over the phone after the Jen incident 😂
What is up with rich people not wanting to use their own money to fund these projects?
Privatize profit, socialize lose is a tale as old as time.
They wouldn’t be rich is they used their own money
Just saw where Anna Wolfe who got this whole thing going with her investigation has won a Local Reporting Pulitzer for her work on this story so congrats to Anna!
Another way is to have public give billion dollar stadiums to Billionaires
really appreciate the sensitivity at the end.
As a journalist for 28 years I can tell you this sort of stuff goes on everywhere, all the time. Everywhere. All the time.
Amazing video bro
Great stuff as always. I think the reason we focus on Favre is the way it reads almost like a Greek play. We have a man who is beloved in his field making piss-poor decisions and, like King Midas, the downfall is in the daughter.
Doubly ironic considering this was just a couple years ago. My reaction as a football fan is the money could have been made easily by someone like Favre right now with a few Draft Kings spots, maybe a new show to compete with Peyton and Eli, turning to acting to steal roles from Ron Perlman, basically anything. The chances were there and, like Favre sometimes did on the field, he threw it away (it got intercepted if you will).
That's all on Favre. The rest of these people are slime. And I sincerely hope every state in the Union takes a good long look at all this stuff.
i am too old for federal prison 😎
Growing up an hour south of Green Bay and first getting into the NFL about the same time Favre joined the team naturally I was a Packers fan with Favre as my second favorite player (after Reggie White) as a kid. It's sickening that the same guy I idolized as a kid could be involved in something like this.
Everybody loved farve cause he was just a regular dude. Didn't even know what a nickel defense was till his 3rd season, wasn't the smartest, just got in there and chucked the ball with 0 fear like he was in the backyard. Didn't have a diva persona and just lived his life. He seemed relatable to a lot of people and was very talented.
what really irritates me is how often people try to defend him
Who is defending Favre?
Got that Kendrick worldwide steppers as the background music lol
He should be removed from the HOF Publicly and promptly...... Put Ochocinco in instead :-)
It's funny how this isn't on every day blast in sports media but Kaepernick and Vick were even though they did less. I wonder what the difference could be.
Kaep literally didn’t do anything wrong either-you can disagree with what he did, but that’s a long way from him doing something wrong
Also, don’t want to downplay what Vick did. Both that and what Farve has done are evil, not worth quibbling what’s worse
Great video, STE! Thanks! Have disliked him every since this one season with the Jets.
Auditorium background 🎶 🔥
Oh my god, the corruption is mind boggling. Mississippi should be ashamed. Ashamed.
Guaranteed that some local politicians are telling him "we all get caught once or twice". I mean, THE GOVERNOR aided them. Pretty gross. Wish a hell really existed for people like this
Really aren't surprised by greed anymore. It's a shame people that already have millions feel they need more instead of doing good without. When you already have more money than you can probably spend, why do you need more? It's even worse when they use a guise like welfare to get money. Hopefully karma is real and it comes back to bite them.
