Brett Favre’s latest video is drawing a flood of concern from fans, and the reaction has been immediate.
The former Packers quarterback posted the clip himself to promote the Packers’ Colectivo Packers México Annual Official Photoshoot in Mexico City next Sunday. But what caught people’s attention wasn’t the invitation - it was Favre’s appearance and the way he sounded in the video, both of which fans said looked noticeably different.
That quickly set off a wave of support in the replies.
“It is so difficult to see Brett like this. No matter what he has done, he is a human being with a soul and deserves respect like everyone else,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “That’s too bad. I wonder if it’s traumatic brain injury related Parkinson’s.
Similar to what Muhammad Ali had. Thoughts and prayers,”
A third pointed to Favre’s long NFL run and the punishment that came with it. “He’s unofficially ranked as the highest NFL player with the most concussions in NFL history,” they wrote.
Another fan urged his old team to get involved. “We love you @BrettFavre I appreciate everything you have done for the game @NFL and imma @Eagles fan but the @packers should do something man I mean this hurts my heart to see,” they wrote.
The concern comes after Favre revealed in September 2024 during a congressional hearing that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and that doctors identified the condition back in January of that year. He has also spoken openly about the diagnosis on his podcast and elsewhere.
Favre has said his version of Parkinson’s does not mainly show up through the tremors many people expect. Instead, he’s described rigidity and stiffness as the biggest symptoms.
This latest wave of worry is familiar for Favre, who has already had to shut down rumors that he’d “given up hope.” He said then that he was still pursuing treatment options and clinical trials.
Whatever fans saw in the new video, Favre has made his position clear: he’s not backing down.

Brett Favre Controversy Just Put His Packers Legacy Back In Focus
Terrell Owens reopened an old wound around Brett Favre this week by repeating his accusation that the former Packers quarterback misappropriated welfare funds in Mississippi. The comments landed hard because they came as Favres name was already back in the public conversation, this time with the former MVP framed against the recent arrest of Daejon Love in a separate scam case.
Favre has denied wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged in connection with the welfare fund allegations, but the renewed attention again puts his Green Bay legacy under a harsh light. It also comes at a difficult personal moment for Favre, who revealed in 2024 that he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease and is actively fighting the condition, leaving the Hall of Fame career and the off-field controversy intertwined once more.

Packers Face A Week 1 Line Problem They Still Havent Solved
The Packers are still trying to sort out the front of their offense as they head into their 2026 opener against the Vikings, with injuries to Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele complicating the picture. Building continuity along the offensive line is always one of the first real tests of a new season, and Matt LaFleur acknowledged the challenge while the team tries to settle the group ahead of Week 1.
Green Bay also confirmed its leadership structure for the year, naming five season-long captains as camp and the opener approach. And while the roster picture is still shifting, the Packers added Lenny Krieg and Scott Daly to the practice squad, giving them a little more depth as they keep working through the issues up front.

Packers Open Against A Vikings Team That Still Brings Familiar Trouble
The Packers season opener comes with the usual NFC North baggage, because the Vikings still look like a team that can make life difficult even when the roster has changed around the edges. Minnesotas quarterback situation has shifted again, and the offensive line is not the same group Green Bay has seen in recent years, but the bigger picture remains familiar: a division opponent with enough structure to make opening day feel like anything but a clean reset.
On defense, the Vikings are also dealing with the kind of offseason turnover that can test a team early, especially after losing some pieces and asking Brian Flores to keep squeezing production out of a group that is not built on elite talent. His track record suggests Minnesota will still be sound, aggressive and hard to navigate, which is exactly why this matchup carries more uncertainty than a typical first game. For the Packers, it is a reminder that the Vikings may look different, but they are still bringing the sort of problems that tend to linger in this rivalry. [Read more 🡒]
