04:57 AM ET 02.13 | Two years ago, we couldn't hear enough about Brett Favre, but as time has passed we've begun to hear less and less about the former Packers quarterback and future Hall of Famer. But while we joke and roll our eyes when Favre is usually brought up, he's relevant once again due to terrifying circumstances. Winter Storm Orko tore through the midwest, burying some states in snow while battering others with torrential rains and even tornadoes. Favre's home state of Mississippi was ripped by a massive tornado this weekend and the twister touched down just miles away from Favre's home. But while the campus of Southern Mississippi wasn't battered too bad, the high school where Favre coaches was obliterated and its facilities were completely destroyed.

It will be interesting to see how much federal money Mississippi will be asking for. Considering that their congressional representatives refused federal funding for Hurricane Sandy?

Thanks I know that. My point is does he have to be the spokesperson for EVERYTHING? He's one of sports' biggest divas. Always has been, always will be. It got real old here in Wisconsin at the end.

Perhaps the media sought him out, instead of the other way around. It's not like the guy is stirring the pot about coming out of retirement.

This is the one circumstance where using one's celebrity to get an advantage isn't a bad thing. In this case it's to get funding to rebuild the school. Hope they get the money. Mississippi is the poorest state in the nation. Might be tough.
