I’d Donate My Brain After Death

Brett Favre says he’s down to donate his brain following his death so it can be used for CTE research … though he tells TMZ Sports he’s sure hopeful that’s a decision he and his family won’t have to make for a LONG time.
Favre infamously dealt with head injuries throughout his 20-year NFL career … and when we asked him this week if he’d consider giving his cerebrum up to scientists following his passing so it can be studied, he said he wouldn’t mind.
Of course, the 55-year-old Hall of Famer told us he’d prefer if that choice came far later than sooner.
“I have no problems with them studying it,” he said, before quipping, “it probably wouldn’t take long to study it!”
Favre has been arguably the most passionate former NFLer when it comes to the topic of concussions — he’s spent a significant portion of his retirement days trying to find a remedy for the issue.
So much so, Leigh Steinberg is actually going to honor him with a humanitarian award at a Super Bowl party later Saturday in New Orleans, in part, due to his work on the matter.
Favre’s become even more invested in it all recently, as he reiterated to us once again he believes it played a part in his Parkinson’s diagnosis. And, he told us if he were able to ultimately help find a cure for everything, “that would be the greatest accomplishment that I’m a part of.”

We also chatted with Favre about the upcoming Big Game between the Chiefs and Eagles — and while he definitely is down on Philadelphia, it’s pretty clear he thinks Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are going to be hard to beat on Sunday.

The best booty shakers in the world will be in New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend … ’cause strip clubs are flying in dancers from across the United States and overseas to help entertain football fans!!
TMZ Sports hit up a bunch of adult entertainment spots in the area to get a breakdown of their Big Game preparations … and outside of the expected exclusive VIP tables and luxurious suites, the Penthouse Club told us the talent taking the stage will be an All-Star lineup from cities like Tampa, Las Vegas and Miami.
The legendary Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club has similar plans … as they’re also bringing in 200 dancers — both stateside and international.
The joint will also be open 48 hours straight starting Saturday to welcome football fans … and will offer free shots for every touchdown. If any Eagles or Chiefs players find some time while they’re in town, they’ll also get complimentary drinks.
As for over at the Barely Legal Club, they’re offering both free drinks and dances to all NFL players … along with free bottle services to any player who shows up wearing a Super Bowl ring.
Of course, current Philly and K.C. players are a bit busy prepping for the Big Game going down on Sunday … but it is quite nice of the joints to think of the boys taking the field.
As for the fans … enjoy!!
