NFL QB Brett Favre Announces He's Been Diagnosed With Parkinson's Disease


Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre announced he’s been been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease during his testimony in a Congressional hearing

Favre, 54, made the admission while speaking to the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday, September 24 about his potential misuse of taxpayer money in his home state of Mississippi. “Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others, and I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s,” Favre said. Favre said a gag order was in place to prevent him from talking specifically about the litigation, but wanted to shine a light on “how reforms are needed to stop the misspending of TANF funds.”
