Green Bay Packers Legend Brett Favre Reacts to Elon Musk Donning Cheesehead at Wisconsin Political Rally

Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre has never been one to shy away from his political leanings. While current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes refuses to endorse any candidates, Favre has always been outspoken about his support of conservative politicians around the country.

Leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election, Favre was a keynote speaker at Donald Trump‘s rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Indeed, he and the current President of the United States are golfing buddies from time to time.

Of course, it was Favre’s friendship with former Mississippi Republican governor Phil Bryant that led to some concerning allegations that the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback stole millions of dollars from the state’s welfare fund. Favre was never convicted, nor even indicted, for any crimes.

On Sunday, one of Trump’s right hand men, Elon Musk, was in attendance at a rally for Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general who is now running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. At that rally, Musk created waves by handing out two $1 million checks to voters in attendance.

He also created a stir among Packers fans by donning a Cheesehead during the event. And the former Packers great took notice:

Now all he needs is a leather pigskin in his hand and he’s good to go,” Favre posted.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court election will take place Tuesday, April 1.

Stats, ‘Safety’ and Fate of Packers’ Proposed Ban of Tush Push

Teams will vote on the Packers’ proposal to ban the Tush Push on Tuesday. Here’s what coaches said on Monday and a surprising look at the data.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are the team that proposed banning the Tush Push, but they aren’t alone in wanting to do away with the play.

“I feel where I’m most concerned is, even though there is not significant data out there to this point, my biggest concern is the health and safety of the players, first and foremost,” Buffalo Bills coach Scott McDermott told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Monday.

“It’s two things. It’s force – added force – No. 1, and then the posture of the players, being asked to execute that type of play, that’s where my concern comes in.”

A ban of the play, which the Philadelphia Eagles have run with great success the last three seasons behind a brawny offensive line and quarterback Jalen Hurts, will be among the rule changes teams will vote on on Tuesday. Green Bay’s proposal specifically would forbid “any offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap.”

It will take 24 votes to outlaw the play, or two-thirds of the teams.

Really wasn’t a huge part of drafting the proposal or anything like that, but I’m very much in support of it,” Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said. “I think the medical professionals at the league have high concerns about putting players in positions that could lead to catastrophic injuries. I think this is something that needs to be discussed and we need to be proactive with it rather than be reactive on that.”

While team physicians might be concerned about the play, the two-thirds requirement will be a high bar to clear because there’s not a lot of data to support the concerns.

The data isn’t necessarily the point, though, critics of the play say.

“In terms of how much data, how much sample, I don’t think that’s really always the best way to go,” McDermott said. “There is other data out there that suggests when you’re in a posture like we’re talking about, that can lead to serious injury. I think being responsible and proactive in that regard is the right way to go.”
