The Only Post I'll Be Making About the Brett Favre/Jenn Sterger Thing

in Minnesota Vikings 2010 Season
Email
PrintNo, I'm not posting any of the pictures. No, I'm not linking to Deadspin. No, I'm not posting any pictures of Jenn Sterger. If you want any of those things, you can find them elsewhere. I just want to take a moment or two to point out the obvious. Allow me to channel my inner Andy Rooney for a bit.
Did you ever notice. . .that even though this incident, such as it is, took place nearly two years ago, it somehow. . .magically, I guess. . .didn't become an issue until a few days before Brett Favre returns to town as a member of a team that's playing the Jets? I mean, really, if I was a female and some guy that I hadn't had any prior relationship with sent me pictures of his twig and berries. . .I'd probably put some thought towards doing something about it. You know, immediately, rather than a couple of years after the fact. I mean, color me cynical if you wish, but one would think that Brett Favre and Jenn Sterger interacted more than a few times after these pictures were sent, what with her being employed by the Jets and. . .
Oh, wait, NOW I know why this whole thing didn't come out immediately. Man, I hate it when I answer my own questions sometimes. It probably would have reflected quite poorly on young Jenn had she accused the starting quarterback of the franchise she was employed by of such a thing, eh?
Did you ever notice. . .that Jenn Sterger has a photo spread coming up in this month's issue of Maxim magazine? Eh, it's probably not a big deal. . .I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
Did you ever notice. . .that this whole incident has already gotten more play than ANY of the stories that came out of Green Bay about Brett Favre's constant womanizing? By all accounts, Brett Favre's exploits in the little hamlet of Green Bay bordered on legendary. . .but, you never really heard all that much about it.
Honestly, when Favre was the quarterback of the Packers, he could have stood in front of 1265 Lombardi Avenue and taken a chain saw to a basket full of kittens as he used his other hand to flip through a magazine full of child pornography while balancing a crack pipe in his mouth, and you wouldn't have heard word one about it anywhere.
Now? Well, Brett Favre is a Viking now. . .therefore, things are different and the standards have changed. Somehow, this reflects badly on the Minnesota Vikings, apparently, despite the fact that this happened two years ago and it happened when he was playing for a team a significant distance away from the Twin Cities. And why does it reflect badly on the Vikings? Because. . .well, because they're the Vikings. Really, when has the media at large ever needed a reason to try to turn the Minnesota Vikings into a punchline.
Hey, I'm not saying that Favre is innocent here in any way, shape, or form. . .far from it. If he was sending pictures of his junk to women that worked for the New York Jets, then he's an idiot. But this is something that Brett and Deanna Favre should be dealing with. . .not something that should be splashed all over the internet.
I am curious, though. . .if the Vikings weren't playing the Jets this week. . .do you suppose these pictures and this story still would have magically found their way into the mainstream? Personally, I'd be willing to bet that they wouldn't have, but I've always been accused of being a bit of a cynic.
Please try to confine all of the Favre/Sterger discussion to this area. It's bad enough that it's polluting the rest of the media. . .and while I realize that it IS a story, regardless of whatever the reasons behind it being a story might be, we can at least attempt to keep the pollution confined to one place. Well, and the earlier FanPost on the subject.

I really hope nothing comes of this
I’d hate to have the Tiger Woods of football…oh wait, that honor belongs to the Steelers. Well either way, I hope these are false accusations, I just don’t see our gramps doin that.
Come on,
that’s not even fair to apply Roethlisberger’s antics to one of the classiest organizations in sports.

Rumor has it
That Rex Ryan is pissed off about this, because now there’s someone in the organization that’s a bigger attention whore than he is.

Or was that on his twitter?
Neither

So,
If Sterger didn’t release the photos/texts (which I believe she claims she didn’t), how did Deadspin obtain them? Also, I have not seen nor heard any indication that nothing happened between them (Favre saying “I’d love to see you tonight” makes me believe something had happened between them before). What he is alleged to have done was wrong, no doubt, but it is suspicious it’s just coming out now.
No matter what, though, we must let this run its course and let everyone have their say.

I'm having a rough day,
I forgot two other points:
1) This does not reflect poorly on the Vikings. Favre was in NY (obviously) when this happened. And since it’s just coming out now, it’s probably something that wasn’t common knowledge around the NFL beforehand, so it’s not like the Vikings turned a blind eye to league rumors.
2) This coming out now might have something to do with the Boat. The Vikes were portrayed by then as sex maniacs…this only adds fuel to that fire.

Odd thought
So this happened supposedly when he was a Jet…. So, if he gets suspended, why should it effect the Vikings? Seems like there is a fault in the Commish’s penalty system in instances like this.
By that logic though
The Jets never should have been without Santonio Holmes for the first 4 games. His actions that drew the suspension happened while he was with the Steelers, not the Jets.
Frye is honestly gotta be one of the top 10 3rd Stringers in all of the NFL right now--colbyb
But didn't the Jets acquire him after they knew he was getting suspended?
Would’ve been similar to the Vincent Jackson situation of the Vikings had acquired him instead of Moss.

So you're saying the Jets should be punished? lol
The player is punished no matter where he plays. It’s unfortunate for the team but if the player does something he gets punished not the team. Punish the Jets because Favre harassed one of their employees… ok.

Yeah, I guess so..
Kind of weird when situations like this happen. I am sure they can come up with a way to penalize the team it happened with also. They are ultimately responsible for their players actions while employed. Not sure how, maybe a fine and a reduction for a few weeks in the active roster or something.

Just an interesting spin on these suspensions
If it happened 2 years ago with the Jets then it is a Jet issue, not a Viking issue. The Vikings have done everything they can to turn the “moral ship” around since the new owners took over. How can you penalize a team that has basically been a role model for what the NFL wants? Someone does something wrong they get rid of them. They have even given many other players a second shot (Jared Allen) and helped them turn their lives around.
you have to penalize the player
it would be silly not to. Like the NCAA penalizing the schools after calipari leaves to sully another program.
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
So not a suspension,
a fine. A big one.

I dont believe this....
reflects poorly on your team at all. It is probably more of a distraction that isnt needed while your team tries to get back on track.
I agree timing on this story seems a bit interesting to say the least.
Why do people always suggest that when things of this nature occur that public figures deserve privacy?…ie..Tiger/Elin…Brett/Deanna…Im not saying they dont im just saying It just doesnt work that way…
by blackandgoldbuddha on Oct 8, 2010 8:20 PM CDT reply actions
Yeah it was a Jet issue
Two years ago. Why would the league pull a QB out of the lineup and penalize a team that has had no issues? If anything happens, it will probably be a huge fine and probably won’t be until he retires.
Ask yourself these two questions:
1.) Has Deanna hit Favre’s pickup with a nine-iron or perhaps one of those bowling-ball weighted footballs which Peterson had been practicing with in camp?
2.) Are there any media people in the East who are Jets fans who would possibily do anything just to give the Jets some additional leg up in Week 5?
If your answers to the above points don’t indicate for you what priority to give this matter on your to-do list, may God have mercy on your soul, because your don’t have both oars in the water, and you just might be headed towards the falls, due to a significant problem orienting your maps with the real world.
Just like to point out that
it came out awhile ago, its just picking up steam now

From a female perspective
100 % sure Favre would not have to try that hard to get laid….hell i am pretty sure all he has to do is smile and women start forming a line :0)….. as far as the texts and messages, what the hell has this chick been waiting on ?…. why not bring them to light 2 years ago and file charges etc etc etc….what a money hungry ……..
She was holding out for the right time to get the most out of it.
having this over Brett is huge while working with the Jets. Now, Brett at Vikes, Vikes get Moss, she leaks it to Jets. They leak it to press with vid. Monster distraction for Brett going in to big game. Just my take. This is the big leagues. What a mess. Sure hope this isn’t true.

I said this in the other fan post about this subject.
For those of you hoping this is going to affect Bretts play, remember how he played after the day after his father died. That I am sure would have been much more of a mental strain than this. Favre gets on the field, and the play on the field is all he’s worried about.
Let me take the low road like most Jets fans did this week on this site .
Two years ago . The Jets FO failed to take care of this in house problem . Just one more poor decision the Jets will need to take responsability for . They should be answering the questions . It was their Secretary that leaked the info . Let then take the heat and responsability for poor Jets employee behavior . Weren’t they already fined once for lies . Except at the Jets SBN site they accused Brett of playing hurt . Even thou it was established after investigation that the Jets asked him to play hurt . And the Jets FO covered up doctor reports of the injury . The Jets fans are much like Pack fans . Short memories when dealing with facts . And blurred vision when dealing with past events . I wish both sets of fans could be held to the NFL’s new head injury rules . Because they all seem to show concussion like symptoms when conversing on all subjects involving their flaws .
Kinda like how Jets players say they know Brett's tendencies ?
Sharper said the same thing after playing several years against Brett . And being a Probowler himself . As Brett burned him and made him bite several times as the threw nearly 300+ . And the Jets think after one year of a fluxuated defense . That they have the answer . It is an example of one more team preparing to lose to a superior force . Without realizing where are strengths really are . DEFENSE and a DOMINATING RUN GAME !!!
This is disappointing...
… that he did this. There are apparently other women too. It seems beyond a shadow of a doubt he did this.
That being said, this isn’t as disturbing as if John Madden had sent Favre a cock shot. Just keep that in mind.

Innocent until proven guilty...
Lets look at it as the way we’re seeing it.
This incident happened a long time ago.
Why were the pictures saved?
Why was the audio saved?
Why now?
If Favre had retired, would she have been waiting for the perfect time for maximum benefits? They would have already been long gone..
This is fishy news if you ask me.. 2 weeks from now, we’ll have forgotten about it.
People like to let the media get to them I guess..
Its the media’s way of saying, enough about the Moss-a-pooloza, let’s throw em a curve ball… Drama Sells!!!!
this is just more drivel, gonzo.
in the future there will be no war...there will only be rollerball.
This is NY media Bull Sheet!
Amother cheap way to push a NY team into the rati
ngs game by getting them into “The Big Game” I could really go off here-and maybe will.
Now I read the above post of Aug 4. Makes me wonder if this was a reason Favre had to be chased down. Maybe it was something the family was working thru, one thing with Brett, his family is important and didn’t feel it right to leave and play/ Sure, he was going to miss camp, but not after finding out this was going to hit the media Sh-t fan. I’m sure things went down at home (which is their business) but in all honesty I think the family delt with this already and a this was pure sabatoge or maybe extortion.
Is this woman of such high moral standaed that she wants to make public which is basicly potential adulty on her part. So she’s OK with that? She’s also OK with now making money off what was ,as far as we know, flirting althobeit foolish flirting, she now wants to cash in on the moment which to me is just another way of prostituting herself. Worse, at the expense of a man who I am sure is remorseful,and this NY slut wants to hurt his wife and children.in the name of the dollar almighty.
It wouldn’t shock me if the “johms” in the Jets office slipped a little cash under the table.
New York makes me sick. It is so obvious the media kisses up and the leagues follow their money trail.
Til now I thought the NFL was the one sport that didn’t cater to the big markets. Wow! If certain things are not addressed in collective bargaining we will see the fat cats rule.
Is this also the reason we have not seen that boyish, playground enthusiasm Favre has always been noted for? Did he already know this was going to come out against him if he played? I
I hope this has all been settled at home and that this was what has been in his head. I am hoping not just as a fan but as a person, Favre takes this off his shoulders and comes out and kicks NY ass and sticks it to the Jets and the slut they hired.
I may not be making sense but I am fuming after reading some of the things pointed out in previous posts. Something is smelling fishy off the polluted waters of New yorks ocean and rivers
Makes me sick for his family and how low some people go to get a story or make a buck
And if the Jets were involved in this scam I will hate them all the more
Yeah poor poor Favre...
We should all feel so sorry for him. The NY media made him take a picture and send it to the Jets employee. All he ever wanted to do was be a faithful husband. Lets blame the girl for being attractive! You know what, maybe woman shouldn’t even be permitted to work for NFL teams. Lets not even permit woman to work at all! Because who knows, maybe a poor innocent football player will be forced into sending her a naked picture of himself. People like you make me sick. If you want to root for him because he plays for your team, fine. But blaming the girl and trying to paint him as a victim is disgustingly ignorant and an all around pathetic move.

Must have been some devastating, crippling emotional distress she was under all that time.

Like I said, if you want to root for him, I have no problem with it. He is a Viking, and he is a key to your teams success. But I do have a problem with people painting him as a victim here. He got himself into the mess, and there is no way around it. I’m not saying that the female employee was a saint. But this whole situation is his fault, and I don’t think anyone should be feeling sorry for him.
Hey, I got dumped by a girl in high school
I bet if I went through some of my stuff at my dad’s place, I could even find the note she had one of her friends pass me. She said some awfully mean things.
Maybe I could sue for emotional distress. . .you know, 17 or 18 years after the fact. Clearly these things have no statute of limitations.

Why should this be a non story but things like Braylon Edwards DUI should?
Or Udonis Haslems marijuana charges? I’m not going to compare this to Ben’s situation because rape is totally different but Favre sending nude pictures should be a non story? I agree partly with your statement that if it wasn’t Favre it would be a non story but any football player of high stature would have the media on his back. Whether it was Peyton Manning or Chris Johnson. The story would have gotten played. Now if its a practice squad bum the story would be irrelevant. Favre however is big news and if he was attempting to commit adultery Im sure people want to know.

Low blow boyonthe dock my mom just got through cancer that has nothing to do with this knock that shit off NOW stay on the subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DS!!
Its not a low blow
deanna got more play in the media because of her cancer. more people are aware of her because of the previous story. this makes it a bigger story than if it was adrian petersons wife. because nobody knows who adrian peterson is dating. the only thing about the cancer that i am refering to is that people know what deanna favre looks like because of the previous media coverage. I’m very sorry for your mother, but i don’t think i said any thing offensive and i am baffled that you took it that way.
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
Thank you for that boy but i didnt think the cancer should of been brought up thats all I understand where your comming from with every thing else but bringing up the cancer was not good trust me there is a lot more you can talk about with this story than the cancer thats all but thank you!!!!
How many people get killed every year because of someone sending
nude pictures of themselves via text message? Now how many people get killed every year by drunk drivers. Also, Marijuana is still illegal, is it not? There is a difference between what Favre did and what the other two did.

Yeah I think they're just overly defending Favre.
Sound editing tools, False penis pics, how many excuses can there be. There is no need to defend him as much as you guys are. To think he is completely innocent and has absolutely nothing to do with this is absurd. Whether you like it or not his hand is in this somewhere if not everywhere. I know he’s you’re QB and the evidence isn’t 100% solid but at what point do you say he seems guilty? I mean c’mon, he hasn’t even denied it… How many of you guys would just stay silent if you were him? He hasn’t even denied it yet but that doesn’t seem to raise any eyebrows. He’s a man who went after a hot chick that he probably seen in a playboy magazine. I’m not sure if these other woman coming forward are telling the truth or not after so long I think they may be bandwagoning the publicity but who’s to say Farve can’t be the next Tiger Woods? He’s probably been banging tons of chicks that we don’t know about. Just get real. Quit defending him like it’s your life.

Innocent until Proven Guilty
Really, Mike, it’s just that simple. Someone wants to slander one of our guys and the best “proof” she can muster is an anonymous voicemail which is kinda southern-ish, and a picture of the male genitalia without proof of who it belongs to. That’s called an ‘accusation’.
If it’s proven true, then Favre was a bad boy when he was with the Jets, boo-hoo. A lot of Viking fans hated him when he was a cheesehead, but they got over that too :). The person who’s really going to take him to task is his wife.
If it’s not proven true, then quite frankly, you Jets fans are just wasting our time.
Ah, ah,

im pretty sure he did it. I don’t really care from any football standpoint, but the jets employee is going to get dragged through the mud and deanna is gonna have quite a shitty time and favre is a pretty shitty person for all of this. I also think deadspin broke some pretty obvious ethical rules in running this.
I still hope that shitty dude throws 600 yards every game.
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
As far as I'm concerned no charges have ever been filed...
I’m not 100% sure but I haven’t heard of any charges. So there will be no final verdict of guilty or innocent.
As for you saying that isn’t Favre’s voice answer this question for me…
Do you SERIOUSLY believe that Favre is an innocent, handpicked victim of a scam and that this particular playboy model devised this entire scam?
If so why didn’t she press charges and release the evidence the moment “they faked” the voicemails and pics? Why wait all this time and still not press one charge? The upcoming Jets game would have been unknown to her 2 years ago, Favre was supposed to retire, no one knew he would go to the Vikings, so why would she wait all of this time to finally move forward with “her plan”? If you think he is innocent you must believe something like this happened.

she IS embarrased
if you read the early deadspin stories, the guy at deadspin basically went against her wishes in publishing the story in the first place. she does have a career in broadcasting, and its unlikely this would help her career in any way. instead of ‘competent jets broadcaster’ her resume now reads ‘brett favres mistress.’ she has almost nothing to gain, and i really think deadspin is pretty awful for running with this.

Her not wanting the story to be published kills any argument that she might have tricked favre.

i haven’t read any reports since the initial waffling leak from deadspin about this. maybe her story/approach has changed. I don’t really care to learn more about this. I just really dont want this lady’s life ruined cuz favre sexually harrassed her.
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
I think the wheels have already started turning.
She’s already being slammed here and by other Favre fans as well most likely. If this story goes on and he’s proven guilty, wife divorces him and takes the kids etc, she’ll look like such a homewrecker.

If true...
which I’m still not sure I believe…then F*** DEADSPIN. The evidence needs to be straightened out and Favre needs to either go to court with Jenn, or in this case, the d-bags at Deadspin for defamation of character. Jenn should sue them too if so.
Although I do agree that Deadspin has been dicks,
She can’t sue them. The only way she could sue for defamation is if she has nothing to do with the case. It’s like TMZ, they defame people all the time but the things they say and the photos they publish are all true so they can’t be sued. She’s in this obviously whether she likes it or not.

No need to defend him, the entire issue is irrelevant to me.
You mean a world class athlete on my favorite team is a womanizing hose-bag?! Oh my god I thought they were all heterosexual virgins. Oh and I can see why you’re here to stir the pot with that locker room full of moral chastity that you guys have in New York. This is all so not relevant.
It's not relevant because he's trying to cheat on his wife.
The same wife that almost divorced him, the same wife that has cancer. It’s not relevant at all but Edwards DUI charge is front page news huh. I get that he’s your QB but c’mon. The guy might be the next Tiger Woods. Two more girls came out and said Favre tried the same thing with them, like it or not the story is relevant bud.

No... it's not relevant to me.
How many current NFL players have/are/will cheat on their women? Why not go scour their hard drives and put together some more classy New York media excrement? I mean, seeing as how you consider that sort of thing to be relevant. All of this self-righteous morality says more about the fungus that feed on it than anything else. Think you might pick-up that Playboy when it hits the stands? If Jen Sterger was really a victim why is she quiet?!
Where is your perception and perspective? Tiger Woods made millions in endorsements by playing the upstanding family guy who was also a world-class athlete. His entire persona was a lie. The fact that you even make the comparison is absurd. You keep spewing that crap about Edwards too, as if it has any bearing whatsoever. Relevant will be Monday night, otherwise it’s just another media circus to me.
He is victim

No Bozo
If you noted I said that this must have been something Favre probobly has dealt with at home. I also said it was foolish.
I painted the flip side. If she was a contibuting party and found some honest attraction in the man . "Did you ever notice. . .that Jenn Sterger has a photo spread coming up in this month’s issue of Maxim magazine? Eh, it’s probably not a big deal. . .I’m sure it’s just a coincidencebt
Quote from the post.
Am I crying poor Brett. No. What I am saying it is an obvious cashing in on a moment between two consenting parties. When one of those parties starts to cash in on something that was between two people. I call it prostituting themself. Can Brett do anything to harm her public life-NO! Why would he and so the flip side. Why did she? To profit off someone else at the expense of their privacy.
Iam not condoning Bretts actions. But why should she be allowed to profit off BF. Man or woman. Or did I break some PC boundary. Bett is put into handling the spotlight of TWO peoples idiocy. She walks away profiting from it. I’m just calling as it really is. So don’t play the poor innocent woman scene. She obviously egged this on. It seems the one who was part of this will be able to walk around without being berated in front of the NFL/sports world.
Wonder if she is married with children? If she isn’t that makes the whole thing more sick. I am sure she would do everything she could to keep it form coming out.
Don’t give me the you make me sick and pathetic. What is sick and pathetic is her not thinking -what if I were him. Not the football player but a man you had poor judgement when dealing with a married man. If I were a married celebrity would I want someone to do this to me.
They were both stupid. but sshe didn’t have the right to make ,even a disappointing affair, a public issue. Maybe we should have little blurbs in every paper when you find out about people who have affairs. Then would we make people lives better or give things a chance to heal? But I am pathetic because I think she is profiiting while another is humiliated and has to deal with his wife and kids. All in the face of TV, papers,etc. So if I am pathetic because I think one party is prostituting themself at the expence of another. Then I am pathetic, but far less pathetic than her actions in the aftermath

Stupid media..
Stick to facts, not gossip…
Drama sells I guess, drama sells…
However, what I do love is how some people are already presuming guilt…
could all be made up and slander… also it could be hard to have facts back any accusation.
What we need is a call-back # from the voice-mail with a time-stamp. But, that won’t prove an alibi to Favre. Only alibi is to put his pecker in a line-up… But, really, we all know that won’t be happening and may not prove to be successful.
True or not, they need solid proof before the accusations take place.

The part I'm scared about is that he doesn't have to be found guilty under the Personal Conduct Policy.
If the league’s investigation turns up more than these two instances that are already being reported they can suspend Favre even if he isn’t found legally guilty. Shit, what happens if some ex-packer cheerleaders or employees decide to tell a few stories about Favre? With Goodell’s rules that don’t require proof of guilt he can decide to take some of his frustrations with the William’s case out on us by suspending Favre for a few games. Guilty or Innocent this story is going to cause problems for Favre and the Vikings.

Well a sexual harassment charge goes further than the League.
Idk what kind of private eye pipe smoking detectives they have but I’ll believe he’s innocent when the court of law says he is and even then i’ll still have my doubts. If anything the league is going to say there is no circumstantial evidence to prove him guilty or innocent which leaves us back to our opinions. What I really wanna know is, will you be defending Favre so vigorously if he retires next year? BTW I for one think if this drags on his retirement will be final because of it. He isn’t gonna come back with this monkey on his tail. No way. He’s gonna retire with the “I need to work on my family speech” and that would be a very smart decision, he’ll need to focus on saving his marriage.

OK I'll backpeddle
A friend had told mesomething about this being an affair. Until I read the article (nor did the post say anything that led me to think otherwise)
After reading the articles I learned the accusations claimed they were unwanted mails and photos. I had been led to believe this was a fliting affair.
That being said., had it been a mutual affair I would stay with what I said
But.in light of what I am hearing the story to be and if it is true, I am very disgusted with Favre;s actions-in either situation.
For some reason I have a hard time believing he would be that stupid and hope that this proves to be false.
But there are some fishy things. Why now? Was this an office joke and not really Brett.?
Just sad for Viikings fans to have to face this trash after a happy day of Moss coming back.
Now are we going to have to watch idiot fans with insulting and stupid signs at games thinking they are funny.
I hope they find this to be a stupid joke played on BF by someone else. At any workplace I can’t believe someone, especiallly in a forum such as a NFL facility, actually think this would go unnoticed. Just seems weird. Disgustingly weird
Then I take back my whole rant directed at your previous post!
I totally agree with you. The off the field BS gets pretty boring, but none of it matters once the game starts. I can’t wait for MNF! Its gonna be one helluva matchup.

I think Joe Buck is behind this.
I agree with you Christopher. Monday Night Football – The return of Randy Moss – the return of Favre to New York (a guaranteed ratings whopper) – A Maxim magazine cover. Uh, alright. Sounds a bit fishy to me. There’s some pretty bright sensationalist salespeople/marketing expert/voice manipulators out there, and while I doubt that Favre is a saint, if it were a lessor player, it would be a non-reportable, who cares type issue ( I wonder what Chmura is doing these days – wait no I don’t). Anyway I live fairly close to Chicago and the sports station “The Score” would barely talk about the Randy Moss signing but were peeing their pants with glee over this story. We’ll have to wait and see but I bet this will all die down after the Vikings win 31-17.

Still reeks of BS.
Why haven’t we heard anything from the 20 years before on Favre? Sure as much as the media loves to talk about this guy, something like this would’ve came up.
Why now? If there was an affair, she’s guilty too. Is it really Favre in the video, or someone pretending to be him as a joke or as blackmail? There’s a lot of questions here. But I totally hope he owns this slut in court, when the season’s over.
“Ladies”, meaning females with some f’in dignity and respect used to keep such things to themselves. Now, just for some attention or money, they can tear down someone’s career and life just like that. That pisses me off to no end. Some men are guilty, like Tiger Woods, but still the money whores came out of the woodwork just to get their piece after he got a piece of ass.

Does anyone know why the FO edited the press conference transcript?
I understand from another source the the FO has removed the question to Favre about Sterger from the press conference transcript – why? Do they think he’s guilty? Are they trying to pretend that it didn’t happen? Do they think that it’ll be a distraction to the team? It sure looks dodgy to me.
Seems to me that someone in the FO ought to acknowledge that this is out there – you know, a simple “Yes, we’ve heard the allegations, but we’re not going to let them affect our preparations for the Jets game. We will address them at the proper time.” With the proper time being “never”, of course.
To quote Mike Singletary channeling his inner Jack White, "I Think I Smell a Rat."
This story reeks. Not that I don’t think Brett could do such a thing. Most pro athletes are oblivious to the consequences of their real world actions and have been told of their invulnerability as compared to mortals so long as to believe it (much like politicians). As a result they have little relation to the concept of ‘personal accountability’ off te field. The majority would also have had difficulty being anything in the ‘real world’ but a thug. So no, I don’t think a pro athlete is incapable of acting boorishly, especially if this was an affair.
No, what reeks is the TIMING of this. The Jets announcing this week, "They’re working closely with the League. Right… and it’s just COINCIDENCE that when they start ‘working with the league’ on this, the story gets picked up. And it’s just COINCIDENCE that happens in the week the Vikes come to the Meadowlands.
So why wasn’t this known about two years ago when this actually happened? Don’t tell me it was simple embarrassment. Nope, it was leaked for the purpose of making a distraction. It’s a petty, pathetic, weak thing to do. Destroying people’s LIVES to win a REGULAR SEASON football game is even more grotesque than anything Favre supposedly did.
I’m not going to get in the “innocent until proven guilty, did he/didn’t he discussion.” I’ve seen enough of what athletes do with their money and fame to know they spend it cheaply enough to do something like this, and Favre’s never been confused with an angelic person. He might have, he might not have. But I can’t believe an NFL team that had total access to his life that entire year didn’t know anything about this, and yet now is somehow ‘cooperating fully with the League.’ Umm, no. They didn’t. They USCed this until they got caught, and now they used this for a ‘competitive advantage.’ Straight from the Bill Bellichump handbook.
This story is actually 2 months' old
The evidence just got released – the photos were mentioned in August, along with the voicemails. I don’t know why the press never picked it up – maybe the source was considered suspect by the press until it released the evidence?
It’s a petty, pathetic, weak thing to do. Destroying people’s LIVES to win a REGULAR SEASON football game is even more grotesque than anything Favre supposedly did.

Hes the most famous QB in the league aside from Manning and Brady. His wife has also been in the public eye. He’s going to embarass his wife, kids, and family bc he wanted to get his dick wet. The person who exposed the story didn’t destroy his life, Brett did

Don't mistake me for defending Favre...
But you obviously missed my sardonic wit.
You can post your diatribes elsewhere without killing my jokes.
California Golden Blogs! "Woeojuwejhdjwe!!!"... But what does it MEAN?!
I’m not blaming the reporter for taking the story and running. That’s their job. But don’t tell me this was just a coincidence it comes to the public this week. Where above did I defend Favre? This is a two year old ‘embarrassment.’ There was no reason to play it up now other than some supposed ‘competitive advantage’ that shows no regard for anyone else involved.
What’s happended to the media? ESPN and the whole bunch are totally tabloid. Deadspin is part of the incestuous New York media mafia. Are you kidding? Crop a couple photos and call it news, Until they can compare the picture ot the wood with the real thing,and test the voice recording against the real thing. There is no story here We’re all doomed if you can derfame on that kind of flimsy evidence.
I couldn't pick my own dick out of a lineup
photos or not
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
I can't believe big ol' mean Brett Favre did such a horrible thing
to such an innocent little waif. Why, you can type her name into a Google image search and all you’ll find are photos of her, fully clothed and handing out bowls of soup to poor street urchins. I hope nobody is suggesting that she in any way is some sort of attention-craving, money-grubbing, cheap-ass whore or something. She obviously owes everything she’s earned to hard work and an experience laden resume.
So She didn’t release the photos and isn’t taking interviews. . . I doubt she did, she probably just handed them off to the guy who did send them.
Sigh. . . After the Roethlisberger scandal and the thing with the Jets and the reporter this is going to be much bigger than it really is. I just want to know when they are going to retroactively suspend Namath and take away the Jets Super Bowl for his stunts. Oh wait, did I just bring the Jets into this a third time?
Wow
talk about denial and so wonderful of a lot of you to resort to the “the bitch deserved it” defense.
Such an incredibly stupid move by Favre, and the length of time between then and now is immaterial. I’m not a lawyer. Clay Travis, however, is:

Jon,
The length of time is not ‘immaterial’ if we’re talking about the Jets’ complicity in this becoming a story ‘now.’ Can you really think they didn’t know about this until this week, and suddenly got a stroke of conscience and released it?
Note, I’m NOT defending Favre. Nowhere in my posts have I approved of what happened if it happened as reported (which we don’t know ‘did’ happen. Deadspin isn’t exactly an ironclad source.) But I’ve never operated under the illusion Favre was some magnanimous person. Most athletes are thugs, spoiled, or both. And it’s not like he hasn’t demonstrated self-absorption in the past.
However, when the Jets say ’they’re fully cooperating in the investigation," I throw the flag for 15 yards of flagrant and fragrant manure-spreading. They USCed this, hoping it wouldn’t come out when he was there. Then they saved it for the ‘right time’ and leaked the story. Why? Because that’s the way Ryan rolls.

Let’s be straight though. Your QB has a history of alleged rape. Sexting is a lot more common (my 16 y/o son has 16 y/o girls sending him nude pics all the time) and has not been diagosed as an official crime yet—except possibly harrassment if not stopped when asked…. No one here is saying she asked him to stop. And presumably if she did, that’s probably why he never kept pursuing her beyond these events.
Very different situations but I get your point about lies….This hasn’t fallen out completely yet so we will see.

Yeah...
Timing is all too self serving. Ex Jets employee, cover of Maxim being released. And to Ted’s point, why not say something when it happened? And Deadspin says it bought the evidence for more than they have ever paid before. The girl and her agent say no one else had this information so wtf? She didn’t sell it and no what the timing was?
Pack, you know I am not currently a BF guy. I was last year but have said many times this year I am ready to give Spidey Webb a chance to see what he can do. Maybe not full time, but just enough to see if we need to make a big deal in the offseason or draft a QB high. Anyway, in my eyes, if true, they are both wrong.
All of this is Jets related
The Vikings and Jets will play Monday night. Not surprisingly, the Jets, having a ruthless organization, have their ex-employees suddenly make a bunch of allegations about Brett Favre. The New York media, including the lying Gawker/Deadspin picks up on it.
This is all about the Jets organization. After this week, that will be the last of it we hear, because Favre did not break the law. He may have acted like a cad, or not but as it turns out he’s human.
The whole thing is blown way out of proportion.
Jets are becoming ruthless...
Someday we will find out who released this if it wasnt; her. The only other one who should have had it was the Jets, her employer, assuming she complained.
Could the Jet’s have released this? Interesting thought… Very Rex Ryan like.
Yeah
It would come as absolutely no surprise to find out that Fatty McGee was behind this somehow.

From the Jets’ standpoint it is the most advantageous time to release the allegations, but wasn’t it deadspin who released this? Wouldn’t they have to be in cahoots with the Jets’ FO for Sexy Rexy to be behind all of this? Lol, yo.
Deadspin said they had this sometime in August
But they were sitting on it. Maybe they were just waiting to see if Brett came back this year, then wait until the most compelling time to release it…MNF against his former team where the alleged incident occurred? Tabloid journalism 101.
Pretty much
After all. . .it takes a whore to know a whore. I’m sure they can smell their own.

Its a sign of a vicious and mean spirited person (Stenger) to share this happy little info with the rest of the world.
exactly ann!
I a andm beginning to think this was an in house office joke , that maybe Jenn knew about,. It may have involvd other players and ofice people as a stupid prank that apparantly wasn’t serious enough to bring harrassment chrges way back.
If it was a joke and Deanna knew about it, I can bet she wasn’t amused but probobly knew locker room humor happens. Don’t be surprized if they want to make this a play on Favre B4 a game that they won’t find others were involved and maybe his wife comes to his defense.
Just a theory. But there are many ways people can copy and post a “dinger” to an e-mail. Id on’t doubt for a minute other players were involved in this and had Brett be the duped individual to carry out the prank. Otherwise why was this held back for two year. The Jets office may have opened up a can of BS that may come to haunt them..
This is just a theory that I hope is the case. But I am almost willing to bet this involved other players who thought this would be funny.
That being said, these players need to grow up. .

The "reality"
Is that this is a non-issue. No matter how many greedy, gold digging skanks come forward.

BS
These allegations can possibly result in a suspension and have the potential to affect the outcome of Monday Night’s game. This is most certainly an issue.
If that is true
It will be the quickest investigation done by the NFL ever! :)

That he doesn’t expect a suspension to result out of this. He is closer to the teamm and NFL than any of us.

I know you're wrong
But if I can get my wife to sign up for an account, I’m sure she could vouch for me.
Just because I know a greedy, money-grubbing attention whore when I see one doesn’t mean that I hate women, thank you very much.

She gets her big break
In a photo of her at a Fl State game with her boobs exposed for all to notice.
Wish I had the physical attributes to get a high paying job because i was caught on tape.
She knew this was a locker room joke or would have reported it as a violation

Again, I'll post what I put in the other thread
Even though it seems to have given a couple of the Viking haters a serious case of the limber tail. . .
Please stop with the whole “she just wants it to go away” crap. Because that’s a freaking lie.
Deadspin said that they paid more for these pictures than anything that they’ve ever paid money for in the past. Who in the blue hell, exactly, do you think that this money went to? The fairy f’ing godmother?
Because, you know, as far as anyone knows, only two people would have had these pictures. . .and I’m gonna go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb and assume that Brett Favre didn’t sell them to Deadspin.
Yeah, that poor girl. . .so harassed. So put upon. So emotionally scarred.
Oh, she doesn’t want the publicity. Oh, she just wants it to go away. What a bunch of f’ing garbage. She whored herself out to the highest bidder, bottom line. And don’t think for one second that she isn’t loving every single minute of this.

Still doesn't change the fact that Favre harassed her and is under investigation.
I admit, I was wrong about her being innocent. Well she is innocent but if deadspin paid her some crazy amount of money for the stuff I wouldn’t blame her. But what does this has to do with anything? We’re going off course here. The fact that she’s money hungry has nothing to do with Favre’s investigation. He’s on the voicemails, obviously showed interest in her, photos were sent with apparently his watch in one of them and now more girls are coming out accusing Favre. Her being money hungry has nothing to do with Favre harassing her or other women. I can’t wait to see handfuls of women come out of bushes and accuse Favre until he finally admits it. Can’t wait to see what all of you will have to say then. You’ll probably act like you don’t care because he’ll probably be retired by the time this is settled and it “Isn’t related to Vikings football anymore”. I can see it already.

Again, a theory
but one that is highly likely. Were other players involved and Brett was used as the poster boy of the joke.
A joke I think is not called for. I think other employees or player will be shownto be part of this
by CitrusFLViking on Oct 9, 2010 4:52 PM CDT up reply actions
sending dick pics to a fellow employee "as a joke"
is still sexual harrasment. would you send naked pictures to your coworker ‘as a joke’ pretending it was from another employee? why would you think this is ok? how does this kind of thinking enter someones mind?
"Sportsmanship is just loser talk for losing."
first off
I listened to the Voice mail and it sounds deeper then Bretts,not saying it wasnt him but just doesnt sound right.Second we are only hearing 1 side of the story,Did Jenna send texts back that might have been misleading.Third could this had been a locker room joke that got out of hand.1 of the first texts on My space which if it was Brett comes at 10:59 pm on aug 22 2008 the next one comes at 10:33 am on the 23rd aug 2008.Everyone knows your ip gets stamped everytime you post anywhere on a blog,same as you must have an email address, these electronic foot prints will either free Brett or mark him as guilty.
Did he do this I dont know but if the evidence is there it will be found.
Can some one please answer the following
Did the Jets FO, NYC Police dept , EEOC etc etc investigate this and all other alleged incidents???? After all of this took place during Bretts time in NY a number of years ago…. if this was swept under the rug ( i am not saying that it was) by the parties in NY then all of the sanctimonius pricks posting on this blog should crucify the Jets and all other parties also….. please don’t bullshit and post that no one knew about this potentional bomb waiting to explode….. after all Employers are liable for harassment made by or against employees if the employer was aware of the harassment situation and took no reasonable action to stop or prevent it….Big $$$$ payout
I am a woman who has been harassed at work …. i did not need to consult an attorney, i went to the EEOC directly….regarding the women now coming out of the woodwork, did anyone of them go to the EEOC ???? ….
also, if you have damning evidence against a superstar football player, why would you not use it and get as much money out of it as possible….. please spare me the " i don’t want to deal with the emotional trauma " as a means of shutting up and being quiet for a number of years….
In Defense of Sexual Harrassment
Like injuries in football, nude models, strippers and prostitutes might expect some unwanted attention.
I repeat 2 years later
and now she is publicly offended, while profiting from it like she did with her boob shot at the Semonols game
Big time cover up. The Jets FO knew. Everyone knew it was a joke? No greivance filed 2 years back. Hell, is the NY media so powerful that they even covered this up way back so as not to humiliate their precious Jets.
Way too many unanswered questions
Meh...
I am pretty sure this is just a ploy by Brett to keep his name in the national headlines.

From Peter King
The Jets fans here aren’t going to like this. . .

As reported on NBC today, Jenn Sterger won’t pursue sex-harassment charges vs. Favre or Jets, but will cooperate with NFL probe of case.

I'm Done Talking About the Sterger-Favre Story
Until something happens, I’m done with it.
If (and I said IF) the NFL finds there is reason to believe that Favre committed a very sturpid act of sexual harassment and merits punishment, then we have a problem.
If, as I suspect ,the NFL finds the facts in this case are too murky to make a clear judgment as to how inappropriate Favre’s actions were, whatever those actions may have been, the Favre-Sterger case is done with.

This one is gonna be hard to ignore
The NFL has launched a a fast track investigation into this and will be done by the time the season is out. Brett why?? This will offset YEARS of HOF playing on the field.
