Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has refused to quit in his effort to win a defamation lawsuit against fellow football legend and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe.
Last year, Brett Fave filed a defamation lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe and sports personality Pat McAfee following comments they made about his welfare case in Mississippi.
Sharpe stated on an episode of “Undisputed” with Skip Bayless that Favre “stole money from people that really needed that money.” On his shown, McAfee called Favre a “thief” and stated that he stole “from poor people in Mississippi.”
In Sept. 2022, it was reported that Favre received millions of dollars in welfare money from the state of Mississippi to help fund a volleyball stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi, his alma mater. Favre’s daughter, Breleigh, also played volleyball at the school.
“Lawyers for retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to revive a defamation lawsuit Favre filed against a fellow Pro Football Hall of Fame member, former tight end Shannon Sharpe, amid the backdrop of a Mississippi welfare scandal that is one of the state’s largest public corruption cases.
Favre’s lawyer, Amit Vora, told three 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges in New Orleans that the lawsuit should be revived, arguing that Sharpe accused Favre, who has not been charged with a crime, of theft.”

Per the Associated Press, there’s no timeline on when the panel will make a decision.
Favre and Sharpe were among the NFL’s top players of the 90s and early 2000s. The former won three straight league MVP awards from 1995 to ’97 and retired as the all-time passing yards and touchdowns leader, though Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tom Brady later surpassed him.
An eight-time Pro Bowler, Sharpe led the Denver Broncos to consecutive Super Bowl titles in 1997 and ’98, before winning a third ring with the Baltimore Ravens in the 2000 season. He was also named to the 1990s All-Decade Team.

Favre’s Packers met Sharpe’s Broncos in Super Bowl 32, which Denver won 31-24 in what would be the quarterback’s final big game appearance.
Widely regarded as one of the best Super Bowls ever, the Broncos finally reached the mountaintop after John Elway lost his first three SB appearances. Denver’s stout D and Terrell Davis’ heroic performance (three rushing scores) secured the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy
New York Liberty Superstar Sabrina Ionescu Caught Unnecessary Low-Blow Shot Amid Caitlin Clark Criticism

Much has been made of Caitlin Clark and her behavior during games, and now Sabrina Ionescu is catching heat because of it.
The New York Liberty guard is being put under a microscope after she visibly showed her frustration in a game against the Minnesota Lynx.
One 13-second video posted to X shows Sabrina Ionescu turning the ball over after dribbling to the basket, but then she turns to a teammate and starts yelling at her.
With 20 seconds to go in the game, Ionescu gets open for a three-pointer but then airballs as the team was down six.
The caption on the video mentions her temper and how Caitlin Clark would’ve been blasted if she had done something similar.
This is less about Sabrina Ionescu and more about Caitlin Clark and how she got blasted for showing frustration with her teammate Kristy Wallace during the Indiana Fever’s narrow 88-87 loss to the Chicago Sky
