Brett Favre ‘Exposed’ Predicted as TV Trouble

Brett Favre is surely not a happy camper today.

Brett Favre’s career on the field - despite some controversial pockmarks - nevertheless landed him in enshrinement in Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, Favre’s story in retirement features more pockmarks.

Netflix has announced a date for a documentary on the former Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings quarterback.

“The Pro Football Hall of Famer’s story is explored in a compelling new tell-all documentary from Netflix’s Untold documentary series called The Fall of Favre. EverWonder Studio, Time Studios, and Front Office Sports teamed up on the hourlong documentary that will hit Netflix on May 20,” Michael McCarthy wrote for Front Office Sports.

“The Fall of Favre” intends to showcase “another side to Favre: the womanizing, hard-partying QB whose secrets were fiercely protected in provincial Green Bay,” McCarthy wrote. “Once his hard-nosed father Irv died in 2003, Favre had nobody to tell him ‘no.’ Slowly, he began to go off the rails.”

Favre’s time with the Green Bay Packers, of course, is why he’s in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

And the shame?

The welfare fraud case in Mississippi. 

Over $1 million was paid to Favre for speeches he never made, and $5 million was given to the University of Southern Mississippi – partly for the improvement of the school’s volleyball facility – while his daughter was on the team.

The documentary intends to cover those scandals and more as it explores one of the game’s most polarizing figures.
