Favre’s Hacked Instagram Post: An Investigation
Brett Favre is one of the best to play the game. You know that I know that. He retired then unretired once in 2008 and would contemplate it every year after that before officially hanging it up in 2011. Since then, Favre has become an ad spokesman for a few places like CopperFit and that weird beard trimmer plus spoken out about head injuries in the National Football League. It appeared for 10 minutes yesterday that Favre was coming back to the National Football League in an Instagram post. They later said he was hacked, but was he? Let’s dive in.
Nobody:

I don’t believe Favre was hacked, rather a marketing plan gone wrong. Favre pulled the trigger a little bit early (It has happened to him in the past), and the company told him to use the ‘hacked’ excuse which is common on social media. No one would doubt Favre getting hacked due to him being an older man and yes, he is a little fast and loose with technology. The set-up needed to be multiple posts or a post with a few pictures on his Instagram plus announce what he’s doing. Now, the question is what do you think he has planned?
My guesses are two potential things – 1. There’s something that the Packers-Bears will do for a celebrity game before the NFL 100 game. Maybe a flag football game with Packers and Bears legends? We know Favre has done some flag football games in the past. 2. Favre is coming back in a champions flag football league. The other thing is it could just be for another company that has nothing to do with football. Who knows.
Anyways, that was a fun 10 minutes on Twitter and Instagram when that went down yesterday.
