Didn't know he was this sick....

Heartbreaking: The legendary Brett Favre says he has GIVEN UP HOPE as he battles Parkinson’s disease.

Brett has stiffness on his right side, difficulty swallowing, and deals with terrible tremors daily.

Favre's health is declining rapidly at only 55 years old.

Think that Twitter guy might be exaggerating. This is from the USA Today story with direct quotes from Favre. It still sounds really terrible, but the Tweet makes it sound like he's on death's door.

The 56-year-old Favre, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016, says he manages his symptoms with medication, but sometimes he feels like a "pretzel." Favre says his cognitive and memory functions are stable for now.
