Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre is taking fired FOX news host Tucker Carlson's side and it has fans irate.

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been immersed in plenty of controversy the last few years. Whether it's his alleged involvement in a Mississippi Welfare Scandal or his political opinions, NFL fans haven't been pleased with some of Favre's takes.

His most recent move involves former FOX host Tucker Carlson who was recently fired from FOX news primetime show.

Brett Favre retweeted a video of Megyn Kelly saying that she believes that FOX News is trying to silence Carlson, and that the broadcast network knows that they won't lose viewers because there are still plenty of other programs to watch on the network.

The former NFL quarterback captioned the Tweet by saying that he stands with Carlson and that it's time to boycott FOX News until they allow the ousted host to speak.

Not only were fans irritated that he sided with the controversial host, but also by another action he took. Brett Favre turned the comments off on the Tweet so that other users couldn't comment on the post.

However, Twitter users could still retweet the quote and they sure did so, telling the former NFL quarterback that this wasn't the right path to go for someone who is currently under investigation in his home state of Mississippi.

These messages were released by former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant who said that he personally spoke with him about contacting Trump. Bryant, who is also accused of misconduct in the case, has apparently decided to work against teh former quarterback.

The former quarterback is still listed as part of a civil lawsuit that if found guilty, he could be required to return the money he allegedy is accused of taking. He filed a motion to dismiss and have his name removed from the case, but a judge recently ruled in favor of keeping him as a defendant.
