When it comes to concussions, Favre has been perhaps the most outspoken former NFL player; he has devoted a large amount of his retirement years to researching potential solutions.
So much so that, partly because of his efforts on the issue, Leigh Steinberg will present him with a humanitarian award during a Super Bowl party later Saturday in New Orleans.
Favre has now shown even more interest in it all, telling us once again that he thinks it contributed to his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
If he could eventually contribute to the discovery of a cure for everything, he told us, “that would be the greatest accomplishment that I’m a part of.” We also spoke with Favre about the Chiefs vs.
Eagles Big Game, and while he is clearly rooting for Philadelphia, it’s fairly obvious that he believes Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will be difficult to defeat on Sunday.
