Former NFL superstar quarterback Brett Favre made $140 million during his football career and is now accused in a lawsuit of misusing millions more intended for the poorest people in Mississippi in what’s become one of the biggest public corruption scandals in the state’s history. Also named in the lawsuit is former Mississippi high school running back Marcus Dupree, who went on to play at the University of Oklahoma, the USFL and the NFL. The suit claims he received $371,000 in the alleged scheme. In his first television interview since the lawsuit, Dupree denies the allegations and says the state “didn’t do their research.”
