Brett Favre and his lawyer Eric Herschmann have been handing out defamation lawsuits left and right. Herschmann believes one person in particular will be out of millions of dollars as a result of it. That person in particular, is Pat McAfee.
If McAfee’s response to the lawsuit is anything to go by, the man isn’t shying away from the legal fight. The social media influencer turned the news of Favre’s lawsuit into content for his podcast.
“Shahtaht to the boys & all of the people that have followed along.. Folks are talking about ‘bankrupting’ me these days… We’ve come a lonnng way.”
After saying “My bank account to the lawyer:” further down, McAfee then attached a GIF to his tweet, of former WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson making his signature ‘Just Bring It” hand gesture.
When appearing on Jason Whitlock’s show Fearless, Herschmann had this to say:
“It’s obvious when you listen to Pat McAfee, he never read any of the complaints,” Herschmann said. “He didn’t read the motion to dismiss, he just decided to get on his show and try to get as much attention as he could. And he accuses Brett, so we’re clear, about stealing from the poor in Mississippi.”
Herschmann continued on to say, “[McAfee], contrary to what Shannon Sharpe was probably told, ‘this is a good time to keep your mouth shut,’ decided to go on and speak again and make a joke that he doesn’t have a lawyer and that his wife says he’s really terrible about apologizing. Well, I guarantee you the jury in Mississippi will make certain he learns how to apologize. It’s going to cost Pat McAfee millions of dollars. And if it bankrupts him, then he will have learned his lesson about you don’t try to promote yourself by inappropriately and improperly attacking somebody else.”
Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, this looks like it’s going to be one heck of a legal battle.
