The former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre made headlines for all the wrong reasons. A piece of big news came out that tainted the name of the Hall of Fame shot-caller. The story was about the misappropriation of $8 million in public funds. The money was meant for the underprivileged population of the state of Mississippi. Because of such a serious lawsuit against the legendary QB, many people want him removed from the prestigious Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, the legendary tight end and sports analyst, Shannon Sharpe, is furiously against such action.

Brett Favre was inducted in 2016 when Atlanta Falcons drafted him as their second round 33rd overall pick. The next season, they traded Favre to the Green Bay Packers in return for a first-round choice after seeing minimal play as a rookie. Don Majkowski, the Packers’ regular starter at the time, suffered from an injury which forced Brett into action in Week 3. From that point on, Favre started a career that lasted 20 years and saw him break many NFL records.

As he led the Packers to a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI, Favre topped the league in touchdown passes for the second of three straight seasons in 1996. Since Super Bowl II, Green Bay hadn’t won a championship. In Super Bowl XXXII, Favre and the Packers came close to winning a second straight championship. But fell short against the Denver Broncos.

Furious fans want Brett Favre removed as a HOF inductee

It is his stellar performance as a quarterback in the league that earned him a place as a HOF athlete. Therefore, Shannon Sharpe does not want to see a fellow player removed from the esteemed spot. However, the fans launched in anger at the former Denver Broncos TE! Sharpe is absolutely against the idea of removing Gunslinger from the list of Pro Football HOF.
