Shannon Sharpe isn’t biting his tongue.

This week a bombshell report dropped from Mississippi Today, which revealed text messages sent between former Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre and then-Mississippi Republican Governor Phil Bryant, seemingly showing the duo collaborating in some kind of welfare scheme. The alleged text messages entered into a Mississippi state civil lawsuit appear to show texts between the Hall of Famer and Bryant to a woman named Nancy New, who pleaded guilty to misusing public welfare money in April 2022.

Fellow Hall-of-Famer Shannon Sharpe  blasted Favre for his alleged involvement in the scheme.

“I talked to people that was in the room when Brett Favre went to the Hall of Fame and nobody mentioned about text messages that he sent to that Jets masseuse. Nobody mentioned anything about the [painkiller] addiction that he suffered from. But yet, [Terrell Owens], they brought up everything. Can you imagine, if T.O. would have had an incident — incidents — like Brett Favre off the field? T.O. still, to this day, right now, would not be in the Hall of Fame. Yet they walked right past it like Brett Favre did nothing.

Watch below:

“The problem that I have with this situation. You got to be a sorry mofo to steal from the lowest — Mississippi is the poorest state in our country.

“When Black and brown people do defraud the government, they hellbent. You get an EBT card and you get WIC and you get stuff like that. Boy, they move heaven and Earth to try to put you in jail for 400 little measly dollars. Now, this man took a million dollars. They sittin’ around, like, well, it happens and we’ll see…

Sharpe saved his biggest shot for the end.

The biggest criminals, the people that still the most, look like that,” said Sharpe, referring to Favre.

“But he’s been a sleazeball. He’s been shaky. For a very, very long time.”

Don’t think these two will be hugging it out at any Hall of Fame banquet.
