    Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre said he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, a stunning disclosure made to Congress on Tuesday while testifying about his potential misuse of taxpayer money.

    Favre, appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee, has been accused of improperly using political connections to redirect public money to his alma mater and his own pocket.

    "Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others, and I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s," Favre told lawmakers.

    "This is also a cause dear to my heart. Recently, the doctor, running the company pleaded guilty to taking TANF money for his own use."

    Hopefully he doesn't steal from the Parkinson's Disease Charity funds next.

    Guess he’s trying to get some pity points with a disclosure that has nothing to do with what he did.

    Sometimes we see former football players get in trouble from having a lot of head injuries. I think Favre was just a jerk. Sorry that he has Parkinson’s though.

    Maybe the New York school system employees that stole Disney and Washington DC trips from homeless kids were Brett Favre fans!

    He's trying a version of an Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer (SNL) defense.

    "Oh, my brain disease made me forget all about stealing from charities. Please forgive my enfeebled brain that these wily politicians were able to trick."

    Very Insulting to other Parkinson’s sufferers that someone with Favre’s platform to do good would use this disclosure for sympathy in a Congressional hearing unrelated to the disease. He’s a scumbag to his core.
