Pretty soft response. This is literally the least you could say. If this story is true, it's absolutely disgusting, and the only reason these people aren't getting locked up is because of privileges the average American doesn't have. This country needs greater accountability to the rich and famous.

The way most people in football circles are talking about this (Rich included) just goes to show the unhealthy obsession we have with celebrity culture.

Favre would have had to know the full depth of the corruption, which I doubt he did. I don't see him being in the loop with the Governor and Welfare guy Davis as they plot to take money for a handful of famous people from a foundation. It could have been plotted long before Favre was in the picture. To me it seems like Bryant and Davis conjured this up themselves. Its not that clever and they are in a control position to manipulate everything whereas Favre and others they gave money to are outside the box getting the handout.

Rich, I’m a fan of the show. I like how you use your platform. I think back to the multiple times you ripped Deshaun Watson apart (rightfully so IMO) and I compare it to this Favre situation and there’s actually a pretty stark contrast. Watson was “vile” and a “predator”. Would you not say the same about Favre in this case? Because ultimately what this came down to in both situations is rich/powerful people using their influence to take from innocent people. You want to know the difference? While Watson’s situations were allegations, Favre’s situation has actual text messages trying to cover it up! Who cares if it was or wasn’t illegal? It was still morally wrong. Watson didn’t face any criminal charges, but anyone could see that it was morally wrong. My point, Rich, is keep that same energy.
