Brett Favre On The Hook For $828k Of Illegally Spent Welfare Funds
Apparently Brett Favre has to give back $828,000 that he was paid to speak at some events he never showed up to. The people who gave him the money were just busted for running non-profits that were embezzling money they were given from welfare funds. In Favre’s defense he’s in a constant state of concussion.
Title
Sports writer Adam Schefter is now trending because of emails he sent WFT’s GM Bruce Allen. He sent stories to Allen to get his OK on them and even referred to Allen as “Mr. Editor”. Other emails had him addressing Dan Snyder as “Daddy” but that had nothing to do with reporting.

Schefter allowing NFL team GMs to edit his own reporting on CBA negotiations with the NFLPA is really, really bad. https://t.co/fpsX8PfPQ6

Jon Gruden Lost More Than His Job
Offensive emails cost Jon Gruden more than his job as head coach of the Raiders, he also lost a sponsorship gig with Sketchers, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced he’s being removed from the Ring of Honor.
And that ring of honor is pretty small. This hurts. They recently had the whole ring carpeted.
Nets Ban Kyrie Irving
Until he’s vaccinated, Kyrie Irving is off the team says the GM for the Brooklyn Nets.
“Given the evolving nature of the situation and after thorough deliberation, we have decided Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant,” he said adding, “we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability.”
This would be a good time for Kyrie to take a cruise around the world. Unfortunately the earth is flat.

Sharon Osbourne Names Names
Remember when Sharon left the show and acted like it was all her idea and celebrated walking away with a big fat check? Well now she told Megyn Kelly exactly which CBS executives gave her the boot, and told them “they’ve destroyed me. I told them that I will never be able to get over this.”
You got ousted from The Talk. Not even the View, the Talk. It’s no big deal.

Nicole Brown’s Sister Really Pissed About SNL Joke
That joke about OJ that Kim Kardashian delivered during her SNL monologue was “beyond inappropriate and insensitive,” says Nicole Brown’s sister.
“My father was and still is such an influence and inspiration to him. I credit him for really opening up my eyes to racial injustice. It’s because of him that I met my first Black person. Want to take a stab in the dark at who it was?” Kardashian cracked during her monologue. “I know it’s sort of weird to remember the first Black person you met but O.J. does leave a mark, or several, or none at all. I still don’t know.”
Guess it was still too soon….
