Supreme Court: Brett Favre to remain defendant in TANF scandal lawsuit
SUMMARY: NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre will remain a defendant in a civil lawsuit related to a public fraud scheme in Mississippi. The lawsuit aims to recover $94 million of misspent funds from a welfare program. Favre is accused of accepting money for speeches he didn’t deliver and using public funds to build a volleyball facility at his alma mater. Favre’s attorneys argue that he had no direct involvement and is being used as a scapegoat. The Mississippi Department of Human Services has demanded $5 million from Favre for his alleged role in the scandal. No criminal charges have been filed yet.

SUMMARY: Mississippi College in Clinton fosters musical talent through its Department of Music and beyond. Students like Nate Brock, who formed the band Broken Halos during the COVID-19 pandemic, combine indie rock with Southern influences. The Institute for Southern Storytelling, originally focused on literature, now supports student musicians by offering unique opportunities like live recordings. Students like Gabe Williams, a Christian solo artist, use the institute’s resources to create music with spiritual themes. These “dorm-room producers” are proving that creativity and community are key to launching successful musical careers, even without formal training or access to professional studios.

SUMMARY: The Atlanta Falcons were fined $250,000 and Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 after Ulbrich’s son, Jax, participated in a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. Jax accidentally found Sanders’ draft contact number on an open iPad at home and handed it to a friend who made the prank call. The Falcons accepted the NFL’s discipline, apologized to Sanders and his family, and emphasized continued adherence to security policies. Jax and the Ulbrich family are working on community service related to the incident. The NFL is still investigating other prank calls made during the draft, unrelated to the Falcons case.
