Instead, he decided to let it go with the promise that McAfee will just keep things lighthearted, moving forward. “My statements, expressed in comedic style were based solely on public information and allegations,” McAfee said. “As I have previously stated, I respect the hell out of Brett Favre the football player and his Hall of Fame career on the field, and I have no personal knowledge about any case involving Brett in Mississippi.”
