The quarterback has been a brand ambassador for the compression sleeve company since 2014. He is still seen on the company’s website and on television commercials. Favre and former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant’s text messages recently came to light. The two were discussing around $5 million of monies issued to the Department of Human Services.
Favre wanted to use the funds to construct a new volleyball stadium at his alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi. It is also where his daughter, Breleigh, played volleyball collegiately. The FBI recently questioned the quarterback for his role in the scandal.
Status of other companies regarding Brett Favre
The former Packers quarterback has a show on SiriusXM NFL Radio that has been continually promoted as of late. Per the SiriusXM app, Sept.13 was his last appearance on the show “SiriusXM Blitz” His status with SiriusXM remains unknown at the moment.
He is also an NFL analyst for the the NFL-focused website, 33rd Team, which started earlier this year. Former New York Jets general manager, analyst and 33rd team co-founder Mike Tannenbaum is yet to comment on Favre’s status with the company.
All things considered, this welfare scandal will not go away and something from his past is coming back as well. Actress and comedian Jenn Sterger was involved in a sexting scandal while the quarterback was with the Jets. He sent Sterger (who was a gameday host for the team at the time) sexually explicit texts.
We’ll see what else comes out regarding the welfare scandal as companies are deciding his fate and post-NFL career.
