Abstract

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis while testifying before a congressional committee on federal welfare reform. Favre, who has previously discussed the dangers of concussions, estimated that he suffered "hundreds, maybe thousands" of concussions during his career. He also mentioned his involvement in an $8 million welfare-abuse scandal in Mississippi and investments in a company whose CEO pleaded guilty to misappropriating public funds. Favre stated that he lost an investment in the company, which he believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug, and that his Parkinson's diagnosis came too late for him to benefit from it.
