State attorneys wrote in March that Favre’s attorneys had given the court “a long press release” rather than legal arguments in trying to get him out of the lawsuit.
I love it when judges call people on their bullshit.

But that quote isn't from a judge
Dammit. You’re right. My reading skills weren’t totally on the ball there.
Well, I still enjoy it when judges see right through the antics of cocky lawyers.
Popcorn time:
In their filing to the state Supreme Court, Favre’s attorneys argued that Department of Human Services officials and Nancy New, who directed a nonprofit organization with Human Services contracts, “concocted and carried out the scheme” to direct welfare money toward a volleyball center, and that Favre was not part of the effort.
Attorneys for the state responded that Favre took $1.1 million in TANF money from Nancy New “for speeches he never made.”
“Favre repaid that, but he has neither repaid the $1.7 million he arranged for his drug company, Prevacus, to receive in exchange for giving Nancy New stock, nor the $5 million he orchestrated the USM Athletic Department to receive for a volleyball facility,” the state attorneys wrote.
Fuck you Bret. What an asshole.
