SiriusXM has put Brett Favre’s satellite radio show 'on hold' following the retired quarterback’s alleged role in a welfare fraud scandal in Mississippi

The former Green Bay Packers QB — who featured prominently in recent SiriusXM ads alongside the likes of Kevin Hart and Dave Grohl — was hired by the satellite radio company in 2018 to co-host The SiriusXM Blitz.

This season, the show has aired weekly on Tuesday, with the most recent episode coming Sept. 13, roughly the same day text messages were revealed that implicated both Favre and former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant in the fraud case where $77 million in welfare spending were misappropriated and embezzled by non-profits and the Mississippi Department of Human Services.

The alleged text messages revealed that Favre had pushed for $5 million from the federal welfare fund to go toward construction of a volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi, where Favre’s daughter is on the volleyball team.

And hopefully it's cancelled forever since he's neck deep in the fraud of stealing Mississippi welfare funds.

Damn welfare cheats…

Bett going down like Lenny Dykstra ASAP lol

AlaviewBurns “On hold” isn’t good enough. Fire him.

He’s just another Aryan prick who had a strong arm.

Brandi_Buchman Tick tock

Brandi_Buchman Take that skunk’s MVP away!

Brandi_Buchman Hopefully the next time he shows his face again is in his mugshot. Greedy bastard.

Brandi_Buchman Thank God. The wording in the promos have been atrocious. Toodles, Brett WelFavre.

This is true this is a disgrace

The most disturbing part of this story is that Brett Favre had a radio show

i heard he's trying to return to the Packers or Vikings lol

He just put his hand out. These guys filled it and protected him. Tate Reeves fired the investigator because he was getting too close to his USM donors. Hell, he even ordered the welfare director to pay his personal trainer a million bucks out of that money.

Has to be a Trump man.....

How brave of SIRIUSXM.

He is not the only football player who lies & who involved in fraud. It seems that lying is a typical for football players.

coleyhiles1 Couldn't have happened to a more deserving con-man. He learned his craft & grifting from the best there is, Trump

Here we go. Bye 4. Can’t come out of this like retirement

Rich people... the biggest welfare cheats

Why did you use a photo of Ned Beatty?
