'I can assure you we're not garbage': Packers legend Brett Favre strikes back at Biden's insulting remarks to Americans



Super Bowl champion Brett Favre rallied for Donald Trump in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and told attendees that a vote for the Republican candidate was a vote to secure the future of their children and grandchildren.

"I have never done an event like this before. Do I even have to explain why?" the 55-year-old asked the raucous audience. "I knew I would come back to Green Bay at various times, but I never thought I would come back in this setting," Favre said to applause.

During his speech, Favre seemed personally offended when addressing President Joe Biden's comments that Trump supporters are "garbage."

"I can assure you, we're not garbage," Favre went on. "How dare he say that? Looking out, I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students, I see everyday Americans that make this country great."

During his time in Wisconsin, the Mississippi native took time to meet with police officers and military service members, which may shed light on why he took Biden's comments so strongly.

'The stakes are incredibly high.'

The three-time NFL MVP likened his former team the Green Bay Packers as winners and likewise said, "Donald Trump and his organization was a winner."

"The United States of America won with his leadership," he added.

Pointing to his children and grandson in the audience, Favre mentioned he felt it was important to bring the young boy to the rally so he could have the experience. The quarterback then put special focus on the economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration and how they might affect future generations.

"Our young kids ... are the ones who are going to be affected directly," Favre said of the election.

"The stakes are incredibly high. Families across Wisconsin are struggling to make ends meet. People's salaries haven't kept up with inflation. It's getting harder for younger people to buy their first home. People are losing hope in the American dream," Favre continued.

The former football gunslinger hammered home a message about the American dream, saying that while he had already lived it, he wanted to "make sure that future generations get to, as well."

"That would be my grandson Parker and his two brothers."

Favre has not made many political splashes since retiring from football in 2010, but he did support Tucker Carlson during the host's exit from Fox News in 2023.

"I'm with Tucker," Favre said at the time. He then called for a boycott of Fox News "until they come to their senses."

Fox News and Carlson never reconciled, with Carlson going on to start his own network.

Recently, Favre has remarked that he is a fan of the idea of Elon Musk heading up government efficiency programs, and the two have interacted on Musk's platform since the Wisconsin rally.

What Brett Favre Bought With His FIRST NFL Check

What Brett Favre Bought With His FIRST NFL Check

INSIDE SCOOP: Brett Favre says THIS is why Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is so successful



As another weekend of NFL football wraps up, Jason Whitlock evaluates which teams and players shined and which failed to perform.

“The biggest star of the weekend,” he says, was “Tua Tagovailoa,” the Miami Dolphins quarterback who “absolutely lit it up” in the game against the New England Patriots.

However, Jason is also concerned that Tua’s success might be short-lived because the team has “the fastest pair of receivers perhaps in NFL history … between Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.”

“I just wonder if Tua has the arm strength to keep up with those guys over a 17-game NFL season,” he tells Brett Favre.

But Brett isn’t nearly as concerned.

One reason for that is because Tua’s position coach, Darrell Bevell, is a good friend of Brett’s and “one of the better coaches in the league.”

On top of Bevell’s excellent coaching, Tua has “great knowledge of the game,” as well as “anticipation and … good rhythm,” he explains to Jason.

Further, Brett also thinks Tua has found a way to compensate for his questionable arm strength. “He throws the ball so far in advance before the guy comes out of his break,” he says, and he knows how to “[play] within his own strengths and weaknesses.”

The National Football League OR ... the National FLUFF League? Here's what 3 retired NFL players have to say



Like many institutions in America, the NFL seems to be getting too soft — and Jason Whitlock is not pleased.

“I’m not real comfortable with where the NFL has gone in terms of softness,” Whitlock says.

Warren Sapp, a former defensive tackle who helped win Tampa Bay’s first Super Bowl title, agrees, joking that it should be called the “National Fluff League.”

“We play a game that you can go down, and we all take that risk going into it, you know, with our children and our moms and everything, but we got to finish this game,” Sapp adds.

Whitlock believes the NFL has been “demonizing” hard hits on other players for years, noting that Sapp himself was “demonized for a hit on an offensive lineman."

Seth Joyner, who was a linebacker in the NFL and helped bring the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl victory in 1998, believes it’s important to remember how the NFL got to this point.

“When a multibillion-dollar industry gets sued for $760 million,” Joyner explains, “that’s gonna have reverberations all the way down through every level of football.”

However, Joyner believes that for all the danger the game of football brings, it’s worth it.

“People were like ‘Oh I can’t believe you let your son play football.’ I’m like, I learned more from football than the college degree that I got, okay? There’s no way I wouldn’t let him play now,” he says.

“We had a rule, we talked about it. I said, you got three concussions, and then you’re done,” he adds.

Brett Favre, a famed NFL quarterback who most famously played for the Green Bay Packers, believes the rules and regulations that have been added surrounding things like concussions are a good thing.

Favre spoke to an expert who asked him how many concussions he’d had, to which Favre responded three or four where he blacked out.

“And he said how about a thousand or thousands, and I thought, this guy is crazy,” Favre recalls.

The expert told him that every time he saw stars, or his ears were ringing, those were concussions too.

“I said, ‘So when do you think it’s safe to play tackle football?’ He said, ‘Never.’”

“There’s truth in that,” Joyner responds. “The human body was not designed to be in 60-something car wrecks a game.”

Brett Favre talks ‘Bountygate’ & two biggest career losses



The New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, also known as “Bountygate,” happened over 10 years ago — but NFL MVP Brett Favre has joined Jason Whitlock on “Fearless” to discuss it now.

The scandal itself was an incident in which Saints players were accused of being paid bonuses, or “bounties,” for purposely injuring players on opposing teams.

Favre says “Bountygate” doesn’t bother him, and Whitlock wants to know why.

“Why doesn’t the bounty thing bother you?” Whitlock asks.

“Well, I think they’re always out to get the quarterback or the star running back,” Favre says.

“I mean,” he continues, “there’s a way to do it, there’s a way not to do it. It’s the way the Saints did it was the way not to do it. But I can’t say that I was hit any different than I’ve been hit in my career up to that point.”

Favre recalls that early on in his career, he thought offering bounties was “just the way it was.”

According to Favre, past coaches would walk into the locker room and say things like, “‘You know we got the Kansas City Chiefs tomorrow, I got $5,000 for whoever takes Steve DeBerg out.’”

He says he just thought that “it was a way to motivate the guys to get the best player out of the game.”

While according to sources, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma put a $10,000 bounty on Favre’s head, he says he’s not going to blame a loss on the bounty.

“I still had a chance to make a play. Just one play. I made some good ones, I played my heart out, but I needed one more, and I didn’t do it, and it wasn’t because of the bounty.”
