Brett Favre Reveals Parkinson’s Diagnosis

Brett Favre, former NFL quarterback, has revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis during testimony to a congressional committee investigating a welfare mismanagement scandal in Mississippi. Favre, who does not face criminal charges, repaid over $1 million in speaking fees and lost an investment in a biotech firm developing concussion treatments. He believes Parkinson's is a personal cause, and testified in support of welfare reform to prevent fraud. Favre set an NFL record with 297 consecutive starts and won three MVP awards.
