Favre is widely considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
The NFL’s Iron Man made seven Pro Bowls, won three MVPs, and led the Green Bay Packers to victory in Super Bowl XXXI.
On the field, Favre’s spectacular play earned him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Off the field, Favre has been linked to several nefarious scandals.
The first occurred in 2008 when Favre played for the New York Jets. Favre sexually harassed team host Jenn Sterger by sending unsolicited pictures of his penis and voicemail invitations to come to his room.
Favre left the Jets to play for the Minnesota Vikings the following season. After Deadspin broke the scandal, Sterger’s career in sports media unfairly imploded.
Favre’s other scandal revolves around a welfare scandal where the quarterback allegedly misappropriated over $5 million from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to fund a new volleyball facility at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi.
Rebecca Gitlitz directed Untold: The Fall of Favre. Executive producers include Gitlitz, Ian Orefice, Jonna McLaughlin, Amanda Spain, Dave O’Connor, Loren Hammonds, Jon Wertheim, A.J. Perez, Ben Silverman, Howard Owens, Chapman Way, and Maclain Way.
EverWonder Studio, Front Office Sports, and Time Studios produced The Fall of Favre.
Untold: The Fall of Favre streams on May 20 on Netflix.
