THE RECENT DIAGNOSIS
Brett Favre just made a sad revelation on Capitol Hill ... the 54-year-old gunslinger announced he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's.
The legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback made the announcement during a welfare reform hearing in D.C. Tuesday ... where Favre said he believed he was on the verge, with the company, Prevacus, of developing medication to help treat head injuries.
"Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others," Favre said during his opening statement.
