Former longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre allegedly received $1M fraudulently

Former longtime Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre allegedly received $1.1 million in Mississippi welfare money for speeches and promotional work he didn't perform, according to an audit of welfare fraud in the state.

The Hall of Fame quarterback, 50, was paid $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018 through his company, Favre Enterprises, under a contract that called for three speaking engagements, one radio spot and one keynote address, the 104-page audit released Monday said.

"Auditors were able to determine that the individual contracted did not speak nor was he present for those events," the audit found.

"Due to the inability to verify that any work was performed in order to fulfill the contract, and due to the unreasonable amount paid, the entire payment of $1,100,000 paid in FY 2018 is questioned," the audit said.

Favre, who also played for the Jets and Vikings late in his career, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the New york Daily News.

• Running back Frank Gore, who turns 37 next week, agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Jets.

Gore ranks third on the NFL's career rushing list with 15,269 yards after passing Barry Sanders on the list last year while with Buffalo.

Gore spent last season with Buffalo, where he had career lows with 599 yards and 3.6 yards per carry in 16 games.
