Anyone know which NCAA events the article is taking about.
Not a good day to be Favre. BF also being investigated for trying to bring a branch of some research company from Florida here with Phil Bryant. Not sure if that's somehow tired into this or not.

I know one thing, if Shad White's on you, you got a serious problem. That guy is like a bulldog and he won't turn loose.
Without reading the article, Favre seems bound and determined to get into some trouble. His name was being mentioned in one of the creme scheme groups awhile back.
Nancy New the former head of these groups is a USM alum and involved with several boards there. She supposedly payed USM large sums of welfare money that was supposedly for rental of campus facilities for poor children to use but they were never used.
After watching Shad speak yesterday, he?d make a better Gov than Tater!Quote:

Shad is out for shad only.Quote:

So I assume that it's southern they are referring to that put on the NCAA tournament and etc with the welfare money?
How so....Do tell more...as Elite Dawgs want to know...Quote:

I figure he is smart enough to know when to step back though and not make permanent enemies of those friends, bc he will need them down the road for his next state office.

This was in the news months and months ago. Why has it taken so long to come out again? Indictments?
How exactly is Favre not being prosecuted for this?
Sounds like it could be an interesting new 30 for 30Quote:

My guess, the article says Favre Enterprises was paid. Not Farve himself. Also putting two and two together.... not showing for any of the events... Farve had no Knowledge and never saw that money. Someone inside Farve enterprises was laundering the money for MCEC.Quote:

As a side note, for $400 I think it was, you can get Favre to send a video message to someone wishing them happy birthday, anniversary, or just say hello. He was on some site that lets you pay actors, athletes, tv personalities to send messages.
What is going on in the Kiln?
"He was on some site that lets you pay actors, athletes, tv personalities to send messages."
Ah.... so that's how OM gets these celebrities to do pregame HottyToddy.
Barbour is making money from his lobbying business in DC.Quote:

So he only got paid for things he showed up to but still got paid and didn't show up. Got it
He worked in Washington for years before becoming Governor. That is how he became Governor. If he wasn't Chairman of the GOP before he would not have been Governor.Quote:

But...
Favre is a tightwad. Always has been. A friend of mine did some work for him. Not a simple task at all. Thought he'd be paid pretty well for it. 20 bucks.

You could basically replace Governor with any political office title. The higher you climb the more you are bought and the more people you owe.
It's all a crock and they are all snakes in the grass. I can't fathom defending a politician like so many people do. They can't gaf about citizens because they've sold their soul to the devil once they've been bought and you can't get there without shaking some greasy hands.
Seriously. Before the governship, Barbour was just a nobody, multi-millionaire lobbyist and political power broker. Can't imagine what that schmuck would be doing if he hadn't been governor. Probably be scraping by as a Yazoo county supervisor.*********Quote:
