Report: SiriusXM Suspends Brett Favre's Weekly NFL Show

Brett Favre

Former NFL star Brett Favre's weekly talk show on SiriusXM has been suspended following a probe into welfare fraud case in Mississippi, reports Variety. He has not been charged with any crimes, and has denied wrongdoing. Favre, who retired from the NFL in 2010 after 20 years in the league, first began co-hosting the SiriusXM show in 2018. He previously appeared on "The SiriusXM Blitz With Brett Favre and Bruce Murray" on Tuesdays.

SiriusXM's suspension of Favre's show comes on the heels of a temporary suspension by ESPN Milwaukee's weekly "The Brett Favre Show" recapping Packers games, reported NBC Sports.

Multiple reports says Favre allegedly conspired with former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant to divert federal welfare funds toward the construction of a new $5 million volleyball stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi. Favre is an alum of the university and his daughter played volleyball at the school.

Variety reported the FBI interviewed Favre over $1.1 million in speaking fees he received in 2017-18 for talks he allegedly didn't deliver. Favre paid back the fees, which had come from federal welfare funds earmarked for low-income Mississippi families.
