- Retired quarterback has been embroiled in welfare scandal
Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre is ending a lawsuit against sportscaster Pat McAfee after McAfee publicly apologized Thursday for his previous on-air statements that Favre had been “stealing from poor people in Mississippi” in a welfare misspending case.
Favre and McAfee both announced the settlement. McAfee, a former NFL punter, apologized during The Pscat McAfee Show on YouTube and said he did not have to make a payment to Favre to settle the suit.
