Brett Favre took a swing and missed.
Shannon Sharpe has taken to Twitter to celebrate the dismissal of Brett Favre’s defamation lawsuit against him.
On Monday, Sharpe shared the news, saying, “The United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi today dismissed Brett Favre’s defamation lawsuit against me. The court found the statements were protected by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. Thanks to my legal team and their handling of this case.”
This development follows Favre’s defamation lawsuits against Sharpe and Pat McAfee for discussing allegations that Favre was involved in diverting funds from welfare recipients in Mississippi.

Favre dropped the suit against McAfee after he issued an apology on his YouTube show, explaining that his statements, made in a comedic style, were based solely on publicly available information and allegations.
It’s clear that Shannon Sharpe intends to continue speaking his mind, and no defamation suit will deter him.
