Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre filed three defamation lawsuits against sports media personalities Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee, as well as Mississippi state auditor Shad White, according to an ESPN report on Thursday.
Favre’s defamation lawsuits come as he tries to defend himself against a lawsuit of his own, filed by the state of Mississippi, that accuses the quarterback of misappropriating welfare funds.
McAfee responded to Favre’s lawsuit on his show on Friday, live from Radio Row in Arizona for the Super Bowl.
