Mississippi Confirms Brett Favre Has Yet to Repay State $600K

Former NFL Gunslinger Brett Favre has yet to pay back $600,000 he received from the state of Mississippi for multiple speaking events where he never showed up, authorities said Tuesday. Last week a reporter called out Favre, and he didn’t react so well, he quickly blocked the reporter.

Mississippi authorities confirmed on Tuesday that Favre has not yet paid back $600,000 that he promised to pay a year ago.

Favre promptly paid back large chunk of the money when the issue first arose.

“After the initial media dustup, he stroked a check for $500 grand and gave a commitment, a voluntary commitment, to repay the rest in the coming months,” Logan Reeves, a spokesman for Mississippi Auditor Shad White, told the AP. “And then, that didn’t happen.”

Favre has not been accused of any crime. His agent did not return a request from the AP for comment.

At some point Favre will have to address what he owes.
