This lawsuit was such an intelligent move by Farve. 🙄

 

 

Seems like Favre tried somebody else's attempt at avoiding prosecution but didn't copy the game plan correctly 🤣🤣

Farve is an idiot. He’s trying to change the narrative about his behavior.

I’m not real familiar with the allegations regarding Farve, or the public statements made by Sharpe and McAfee, but if those guys publicly stated that Favre engaged in massive welfare fraud, and he did not actually do so, then he would potentially have a very strong, and very lucrative claim against them for defamation.

So if I'm reading this right you're saying you haven't looked into this at all but if Brett Farve's legal claim is true then his lawsuit has a good case....🤔

From the little I’ve read, the allegations against Farve are pretty complex and he’s not been criminally charged, which you would expect if he had engaged in a massive fraud scheme. It’s entirely possible that he did not defraud anyone, in which case Sharpe and McAfee may be in some serious legal jeopardy.

More or less.  The reaction here seems to be that Farve’s lawsuit is laughable, if not frivolous. I think that judgment is entirely premature.

Favre turning this into a Barbara Streisand Effect, drawing even more attention to his misdeeds and only garnering more support for McAfee.

I care about Brett Favre as much as I do about Pat McAfee.

 

But this Barbara Streisand Effect you spoke of was foreign to me, until now.

 

Very interesting.

You should look into this case more.

 

Favre is going to look like more of an idiot than he already does by the time it's all said and done.  He should see jail time, actually.

So Mcafee has reported on the story and always used the word "allegedly" when speaking on the story. Bunch of people have or are about to be sentenced with one guy getting essentially life in prison as he would be in his 90s when he got out. Favre is trying to play the dumb card as if he didn't know what happened was illegal but just because you don't know something is illegal doesn't mean you don't get arrested.

Brett should be going to jail for this, and I bet he will. Knew he was stealing money from the poorest people in the state and put it in writing.

But he did know, and his text messages prove he was trying to find a loophole. I’m sure he felt like people with his status get away with this sort of thing all the time and he could as well. He probably is right about the former but wrong about the latter.

And yet Favre has not been arrested or charged...

Typically you can see who has the weaker case by who is trying to use the “court of public opinion” vs the actual court system. 
 

If these were truly smoking gun texts, they’d save them for court. 
 

I’m always wary when lawyers start tweeting.

He was forced to return the 1.1 mil he took and the investigation is still ongoing.

Gosh, looking at Farve is like looking at a crystal ball focusing on Rodgers. Maybe they are even the same person.

Didn't he repay it preemptively to try and get out of it? 

 

Either way, they have him dead to rights if they want him. Let's see how many people he can buy in Mississippi now.

Anytime your inclination is to say something like "I don't know anything about this, but... " then you should probably rethink it.

no they had to force him to repay and he even tried to use the guy who is in prison to help him to get out of paying it. He still hasn’t paid the 250k in interest the state claims he owes

Favre sent Dick pics to girls and got them fired over it. What has arod ever done besides float retirement and just be a hippie? Let’s make sure we separate predatory and theft type behavior with a guy who just likes some fun drugs
