"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."

As with all contact sports, there is a real possibility of sustaining life altering issues. Favre played with concussions and did so willingly. I dont believe theyd have been able to keep him off the field either because of his willingness to play hurt. I'm sorry he's developed Parkinson's though. It's a terrible disease.
