Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre revealed Tuesday he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
The famed quarterback was speaking in front of the House Ways and Means Committee in a hearing on reforming Temporary Assistance for Needy Families , where he was called to testify before Congress about welfare misspending.
’ Would I do it the same way over again if I had the chance or would I change the way I played or how long I played? I don’t know, maybe I would have been more cautious,” he added. Favre also said he that suffered a concussion in his last ever NFL play and was out for a minute or two. While the 54-year-old said that he is still able to do a lot of what he enjoys, he also told Kelly that he had noticed some changes. “I think there’s some memory issues, I think sometimes my speech is affected.
