THE REAL IMPORTANCE OF THE BRETT FAVRE SCANDAL

Most people do not realize the full implications of the Brett Favre scandal. The owners of Vikings have been trying to get a new stadium for at least the last five years, but in order to do so they need public money. Minny’s government has refused to give it to them. The owners feel their best hope is by using a public referendum. That is why they are going all out to reach the SB this year. That is why they gave Favre an extra 3-4 million dollars to come back this year, even after the allegations were first made public. That is why they made no investigation, and the allegations were so downplayed, when they first became public on August 4, before the season begun. They said it was a case of he-she said because there was no proof, since they believed after two years no proof existed. But they never looked or contacted her, to see if there was any proof. They were not interested in the truth, only their pocketbook. The owners hoped the "feel good" effect would make a successful result in a referendum much more likely, since not only would football fans support it, but the general public would also. The owners owe the Viking fans an apology for a ruined season, which could have been avoided. This scandal has given them a black eye, and makes a successful result in any referendum less likely, especially, if they do not get to the SB which is more probable after they lose to the Jets this week
Viking fan have to be very careful for what they wish for. A new stadium allows the owners to implement a "Personal Seat Licence" (PSL) system, which means the present fans have to pay a fee in the thousands of dollars just for the right to buy season tickets for seats they already use. Blue collar long time fans will be locked out, to be replaced by high-end corporate types for whom the paying $5,000 or more just to have the right to buy seats means nothing. It is a business entertainment tax write-off. Be careful, or you may no longer have your season tickets.
========
Why did Jenn Sterger have proof after two years?
Favre’s approach to her was unwelcomed – married and much older.
She rejected him, and then he sent indecent pictures of his private parts.
According to report from friend, she became mad and threw cell phone when she received pictures.
Felt there was nothing she could do, because of her relation relative to Favre in Jets organization.
If she went outside the organization, there would be a scandal which would end her new career.
Because Favre is public figure held on to picture and communications hoping to get even someday.
Tried to get Favre by telling story on August 4, hoping to keep him from rejoining Vikings.
Offered large sum of money for evidence now, which offsets the problems caused by scandal,
and gets even with Favre.
==========
Why do I believe Vikings will lose Monday?
True or not, Jenn Sterger and scandal's impact on wife will be on Favre’s mind,
Jets have Home field advantage, 80,000 fans cheering J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets
and N-U-T-S, Nuts, Nuts, Nuts ; which is similar to their normal cheer.
Favre has a hurt elbow and ankle
Has not practiced enough to have timing down with Moss
May not be patient and hurry decisions, making bad ones trying new toy
Jets have return of 3 Pro-Bowl quality players for this game
Lost to Miami, who Jets defeated
Play so far this season 1-2
Jets are a strong team 3-1 with a passer rating of 105 to Favre’s 65

Why do you say that.
Where do I make accusations that are not true. Search PSL and see what fans in other cities say about it.

Yeah, he’s clearly a GGN guy first, check out his profile. They’re welcome here to talk football, but … why is he here trying to stir up stadium politics issues. The insinuation that he knows even a tenth of what all of us know about it is … insulting, and makes him look clueless.
It was a good exciting game, we are lucky we won
But if you check out the link you will see what FANS think of PSL’s. The game is over and I have no reason to be here except to warn you of the New York fans experience with PSL’s. If you don’t care it is no sweat off my a$$. Your owners only care about money, and they don’t care what goes on the field except to the extent it affects there pocketbook. I am a Jet fan, and was a season ticket holder for more then 20 years. I not longer attend Jet games in person, because I could no afford to pay $20,000 for my four PSL’s which was the right to purchase my tickets, plus $4,000 each year for the tickets themselves. Am I bitter about this, yes I am. I am still a fan, but I no longer enjoy the stadium experience. I you duplicate my experence, don’t cry you were not warned.
Absolutely dead on
Was a member of GGN long before this post and only recently joined DN.
Chris, time to take out the trash! This has been the worst week of trolling ever. Even Packers fans, some of them, can have intelligent conversation. This type of conversation is obviously beyond any GGN member. I have not seen one civilized one yet.

She threw her phone because she was pissed
Ha..Ha..no…i can’t even fake a laugh online. This is the dumbest shit i’ve ever read. But you have your right to it…but i’d just like to take my time to say your dumb as hell.
Thanks
Why I think the Jets will lose
1. Your record doesn’t help you in this game
2. Your teams ego will hurt your teams play
3. Revis is not healthy
4. You will be one dimensional. And dirty sanchez is not at his greatest when he is relied on.
5. The same goes for your 3 returning players. They’ve been out for a substantial amount of time and just as Moss might not be at his peak with this offense, neither will yours.
6. Your coach’s lack of respect
7. False accusations will only piss Favre off more. Expect big things.
8. Peterson loves running the ball when LT is on the sidelines watching him. 296 3TDs? anyone?
9. D.E.F.E.N.S.E. doesnt spell J-E-T-S. The only thing that chant does is prove that you all can spell big words
10. Revis Island? Does this Island have a hospital on it? because when hurricane peterson comes through its going to need one.
11. The feeling the Jets will recieve when they realize they aren’t playing the Bills will dig them too big of a hole
12. 2 weeks to game-plan against a team thats already game-planning for the super-bowl. Tisk Tisk. If your coach would focus more on the one game at a time philosophy instead of the we’re the greatest because I say we are approach you might have a chance.

I piss people off on a fairly regular basis. I cherish my right to speak my mind, whether I sound like an uneducated savage or not. I've never been accused of keeping what I think a secret, nor will I ever. Don't like it? I don't care.

What is important
Sir, you are a fan of your team. I am a fan of my team. But we are both fans. In New York we never thought of the possibility of Black-outs. This year we did because there were so many unsold PSL’s. Can you afford $5,000 just to have the right to purchase a seat you may have used for years. After you buy the RIGHT then you buy the seat for the game, another $125 per game. If you have two kids, $15,000 for the right and then $375 each game. Think about that. Look at my link. We only play each other one time this year, the game is not that important, but preventing other fans from being screwed is. We are both fans, we are brothers.
I see where your coming from butt..
sounded like bravehart, hopefully u dont shoot lightning from ur ass
in all honesty, when u make a title like that its misleading, and then u talk about the psl, then the favre scandal, and thennnnnn why we will lose.
i mean if u want talk about psl, just focus on that why bring on the other stuff. its like ur trying to acomplish a hidden agenda on ranting on us while gettin ur issue across.
I only believe The Favre scandal
Occurred because of the greed of the owners. Like the Jets push for a SB was driven by the need to sell PSL’s. That is why we took so many chances with the players we have on our team. It is only a game, but it also has a multi-billion business is wrapped around it. The business is also destroying the college game, which is really sad.
My First concern is getting a stadium.
My last concern is a blackout. Unlike your team we might not be playing in our state that we’ve been playing in for the past 50 years. Your barking at the wrong crowd.
OK
We all have different needs. I do not know the problems with your stadium, all I know every Jet fan wishes we were still in the old Shea stadium of 25 years ago. The football experience was just as good and it was in New York, not New Jersey. We will never have a black-out because of the size of our market, and the networks announced they would pay for unsold Tickets, so the games would not be blacked-out, but that has not been true in other smaller markets. You know the situation in Minny better then I do.
Tired of hearing about this Favre scandal garbage!
This is from what I posted with my other post today. I edited so it responds to this post.
I think that the Favre allegations are being broadcast to try to overshadow the Jets treatment of that reporter on the practice field and in their LOCKER ROOM. That would be worse in my eyes than the allegations of a few pics and texts via cell phone by an anonymous caller from a phone that has already been verified as NOT being Favre’s phone number. And did you notice how fast the NFL is to investigate a Vikings player over something coming from a site from Deadspin versus the Televised video of the Jets with the TV reporter??? I think that we get enough of this crap from all the political commercials.
We don’t need this kind of garbage sports reporting and scandal investigating in the NFL. Goodell should wise up. We don’t watch the NFL for all its dirty laundry. We watch the NFL because of the game itself.We are fans on here to talk football, not about some National Enquirer type dirt. It’s the NFL and not your momma’s kitchen. It’s the NFL and not the boys choir. If it’s not a criminal matter, leave it alone. Private stuff for players should be kept out of the media, not have the NFL draw more publicity to it. Enough with being politically correct.
If you want to talk about the other items in your post about the stadium, etc….I’m all for that.
The Jets Blog says it better then you
We own up to our sins, you might find it interesting reading http://www.thejetsblog.com/2010/10/08/opinion-please-help-me-believe-that-theres-anything-other-than-systemic-misogyny-taking-place/
I dont Understand
Why Brett Favre, who is 41, is being investigated for something that “happened” 2 years ago.
If he did send said texts, clearly it was stupid, but, he is an adult.. Its his choice to send the texts he chooses.
While i dont agree with him making this decision, if he even did, I dont understand why there is the threat of a suspension. He didnt break any laws. (Im pretty sure 18 is the legal age to have porn in NY/NJ) Hes a first time “offender” so a suspension would be completely ludicrious. (What he is accused of is much Different compared to Roethlisberger, Being accused of Rape is much different than Sending Penis Pics…)
While I dont think he’s innocent, i dont think hes guilty either. (I like to know the facts, before i make an informed decision.) I support him on the Field, my support wont waver if he did do this.
Future note
If you ever post at the DN again (something tells me you wont), please do not put your title in all caps. It’s annoying and attention seeking.

Open and Closed
Is the message from Brett’s phone number or not?
I don’t know, but the story (and the audio recordings) identity a specific Jets PR guy that supposedly delivered messages, and the Jets in cooperation with the NFL have already come out and said this part of the story is definitely false.
But I suppose the conspriacy theorists could say that the Jets and/or this PR guy are lying to the investigator. I suppose the conspriacy theorists could say anything, really, if they take it far enough.
Now why on Earth would the NFL
want to go out of it’s way to vigorously investigate a two year old story like this, which could end up with a suspension of the one player who has the ability to take them deep into the playoffs? It’s not like a previous incident with a couple of our players making appeals of a bogus suspension made the NFL look ridiculous or anything.
Sorry Viguy...
.. I hate to be personal, but your post is about as dopey as they come.
