    Brett Favre is again in the News. This time he is on the offensive. After changing his legal counsel in early October , it seems Favre is changing his defense strategy as well. Favre hadn’t commented on the affair until yesterday when he interviewed with Fox News. “I have been unjustly smeared in the media,” Favre remarked to Fox News Digital. “I have done nothing wrong, and it is past time to set the record straight.

    Favre Statement

    Favre went on in a statement prepared for Fox News, “No one ever told me, and I did not know, that funds designated for welfare recipients were going to the University or me. 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. State agencies provided the funds to Nancy New’s charity, the Mississippi Community Education Center, which then gave the funds to the University, all with the full knowledge and approval of other State agencies, including the State-wide Institute for Higher Learning, the Governor’s office, and the Attorney General’s office. I was told that the legal work to ensure that these funds could be accepted by the University was done by State attorneys and State employees.”

    In a timeline of events composed here, Favre’s statement is consistent but fails to account for a two million dollar deficient for his USM volleyball project. Likewise, Nancy New’s charity provided five million in initial funding. This initial dollar amount was funneled illegally from welfare recipients. What we don’t know for sure is if Farve was aware of where the money originated.

    Farve Requests additional 1.07 million from New

    When the project’s cost escalated, an additional two million in funding was needed. Many of the text messages between Nancy New, Farve, and Governor Phil Bryant originate during this period. Seemingly an additional one million was given to Nancy New to provide for the project through her charity, the Mississippi Community Education Center. Still, Farve would be short without an additional one million in funding. It’s unclear where this funding came from, but it was coincidental that Brett Farve was paid $1.1 million for speeches and public events, which he never gave, near the time the final payment was due.
