Looks like Favre is paying RINO Barbour back for pardoning his brother.

QuoteBut a drunk-driving accident involving Favre's brother and the death of one of their friends raises questions about whether the unusual endorsement is political payback to former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who is strongly backing Cochran.
In 1996, Favre's brother Scott Favre was driving drunk on his way home and stopped on railroad tracks. A 49-car freight train crashed into the vehicle, and Brett's close friend Mark Haverty, a passenger in the car, was killed. Police determined Scott Favre had a .23 blood alcohol content level—more than twice the legal limit. Shortly thereafter, Scott Favre was convicted of vehicular manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Fourteen years were suspended, with one year of house arrest.
"This was a mistake between two buddies. I mean, there's nothing good about drinking and driving, but who hasn't done it?" Brett Favre said of the incident in an interview with Playboy Magazine in 1997. "They were unlucky. It could just as easily have been Scott who was killed. If I had been home that night it could have been me."
In May 1997, Scott Favre was arrested again for driving without a license while he was on his way to help his dad fix a fishing boat. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison for that episode—and ended up only serving 67 days in prison after courts determined later he was wrongfully jailed.
Brett, why don't you go play on Twitter and leave the politics to the grownups.
Now, this bothers me! Another one bites the dust! :thumbdown:
Stick to throwing footballs! :rolleyes:

He's throwing to the other team on this one, as usual...
From here on out Thad Cochran will be referred to as "Donkey Bonker"...
Geesh. As a Packers fan, I hate reading this. Bad enough he stabbed us in the back when he went to the Vikings. I didn't know all this about his brother too. Guess I have to write him off now.

One thing I could always count on -- Favre f*g it up in the playoffs with a pic. Favre is a loser and always has been. He left who knows how many unpaid bar tabs when we shipped him from Atlanta.
He probably took a cue from ex-Raider, Kenny Stabler's ruling-over Gulf Shores, Alabama like a feudal lord since his retirement in the 70's.
The Green Bay Packers from Earl Lambeau forward. have always been a class act.
Lombardi set the standard which remains unmatched; five NFL Championships!!!
His man who executed it, was Bart Starr, a truly legendary QB, now lost in the mists of time.
Favre is another in a long line of ordinary athletes whose only claim to fame is statistics,
in contrast to winning when it mattered!!!!!
