Two former NFL rivals will now be contributors to the same talk program.
Brett Favre and Warren Sapp are joining “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock’s show on The Blaze, The Post has learned.
Favre will be on the full show each Wednesday while Sapp will be on the whole program every Thursday.
Whitlock did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Favre is a three-time former NFL MVP, and Sapp was a four-time All-Pro defensive lineman.
Both are Super Bowl champions and enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The two were famous frenemies on the football field, as the Buccaneers and Packers were one-time division rivals.
Favre has been accused of urging the state of Mississippi to misappropriate welfare funds towards companies and causes he is associated with, but has denied knowledge that the money had been earmarked for the needy, saying last year that he’s been “unjustly smeared.”
In sports media, Favre previously hosted a talk show for SiriusXM that was put on hold when the news about Mississippi broke, and Sapp was a longtime analyst at NFL Network.
Sapp a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, was let go from NFL Network in 2015 over an incident in which he ultimately pled guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery.
Whitlock, a former employee of ESPN and Fox Sports, joined The Blaze in 2021.
Other regular contributors to his “Fearless” program include former ESPN writer Steve Kim, former NBA player Royce White and author Shemeka Michelle.
While The Blaze, founded by former Fox News host Glenn Beck, is reputed as a conservative news outlet, Whitlock rejects this label, saying, “I don’t like being called a conservative, because I’m really not. I just have a biblical worldview. I want to be called and judged as a Christian.”
