Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre on Friday denied that he received over $1 million for Mississippi speaking engagements he did not attend.
A report from the Mississippi state auditor earlier this week said Favre's company was paid $1.1 million total in 2017 and 2018 for appearances, promotions, autographs and speeches that he didn't attend.
But on ESPN Wisconsin’s “Wilde & Tausch” radio show, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback said he was paid for recording public service announcements and commercials that ran in his native Mississippi.
“I did ads that ran for three years, was paid for it, no different than any other time that I’ve done endorsements for other people, and I went about my way,” Favre said on the radio show.
