Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

Jennifer Sterger Demands NFL Suspend Favre, Vastly Overestimates Her Own Importance

Yes, we've basically ignored the Sterger story for this long, but now it's to the point where it could actually, potentially, affect the Vikings on the field, so this development needs to be explored a little bit.

Yesterday, Jennifer Sterger made a statement saying that she wouldn't sue the National Football League or Brett Favre on one condition. . .that condition being that the league suspend Brett Favre for the text messages and lewd pictures that he may or may not have sent her during the time he was employed by the New York Jets in 2008.

See, it's funny that Sterger would go ahead and play this card now, considering everything that's happened to her since she started in on this entire escapade in the first place.

-Her friend, Allison Torres, came out and said that not only was Sterger texting back and forth with Favre (which kind of takes away the whole "poor, helpless little Jennifer Sterger" angle of this whole thing), but that Sterger "could make millions if she ever cashed in on all the naked photos she gets from friends."

-Her show where she did. . .whatever it was she was doing. . .on the Versus network was canceled because it had slightly fewer viewers than "Cooking With Marie" on Fargo Public Access.

-Her agent, Phil Reese, whose job is apparently to ensure that Sterger is completely unemployable in the future, has said that he didn't understand what was taking the league so long, as his client had "done everything to assist with the investigation." Which sort of flies in the face of the news that had come out earlier that Sterger had more pictures of Favre that she would go public with if the league didn't "do the right thing."

Apparently "doing everything to assist with the investigation" means turning over everything you have. . .you know, except for the really, really, really "bad" stuff that could potentially be used for blackmail purposes later. But this is in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM ABOUT MONEY. No, not at all, not one single bit.

Yeah, if Favre sent all this stuff, it was stupid and he should be punished. Many sources, such as Peter King, have said that the likelihood of Favre receiving any sort of punishment are pretty low, for what that's worth.

On the other hand, Jenn Sterger and her agent have handled this entire thing in the sleaziest possible way. The clock on her 15 minutes of fame appears to be stuck at 14:59, and she's trying to keep it there as long as possible. And, to be honest, you can't blame her. . .after all, if you woke up one day at the age of 27 and realized that you were completely washed up and basically unemployable in the career field that you had chosen for yourself, you'd probably do the same thing.

Honestly, this little stunt from Sterger and Reese has so little chance of affecting the outcome of the NFL's investigation into this matter that not even Lloyd Christmas would give them a snowball's chance in hell.

Brett Favre has about four more National Football League games left in his career. . .or, at the very least, in his Minnesota Vikings career. He may play in them, he might not. But that will in no way, shape, or form be determined by Jenn Sterger and Phil Reese, and the sooner they realize that, the happier they'll probably be.

I want to hate her...but she's so attractive!

The ruling will basically come down to whether the NFL likes Brett Favre more than they hate the Vikings. We all know about the NFL’s [and ESPN’s] conspiracies against the Vikings, but BF might be just popular enough to play the rest of the season…assuming that pesky ankle, shoulder, elbow, illness, old age, etc. will let him.

IF...

The NFL suspends Brett Favre, they should wait and see if his injury keeps him out of the game on Sunday. That way they can feel good about not ending his streak IF he does not end up playing. Also, if they do end up suspending him after his streak is already ended, then I think think that would be a nice slap in the face to Sterger to know that it was NOT her that ended his consecutive game streak. Just a thought…

…of course it would be a bigger slap in the face if the NFL did nothing and told her to go do something graphic with a football. Which is what I am hoping for. It would also make a wonderful PPV event.

What is her “career” actually? What is it that she does for a living? Anything of any importance or just one of those “floozy” careers where all she has to do is paste a vapid smile on her face and wear tight clothing so everyone looks at her? Maybe she should try to find something worthwhile to do with her life rather than text and threaten to sue people…… just sayin’

Ok, so...

…even if all of the rumors about the stuff he did send her were true, how would the league have grounds to suspend him?

If Brett Favre did violate the the personal conduct policy, why would he face a suspension? There has been several players that didn’t face suspensions after doing something much worse. Plus, Favre has no prior record of shady personal conduct.

Thing is

If she is suddenly such a victim, why did she hold onto the pictures for 2 years? Why have some former colleagues of her’s come forward and have stated that she was bragging about getting said pictures and showing them off? Doesnt fit with the “poor me, Im a victim” senario she is pulling now.

Also, a close friend of mine who was sexually assulted as a teen, who had to go thru counseling to get back on her feet has said this it total BS. She is mad at this woman too as it further dilutes down the response or help for those that have truely suffered through the real thing.

It seem’s she is someone trying to keep her face on the news for all it’s worth.

I'm a bit torn

On the one hand, Brett’s an *ss for cheating on his wife. On the other hand, Jenn’s shake-down routine comes across as pretty scuzzy. She’s starting to behave as a woman scorned, and I think she’s going to wear the stench of how she and her attorney managed this whole episode for a long time. Does she really want to be the person who ended Brett’s consecutive games played streak? Apparently she does, but I don’t think that’s a good long-term perspective to take. Let Brett’s injuries and/or terribly inconsistent play lead to his benching. Don’t become a footnote in football history — the shakedown artist who got her way and benched a legend.

Excellent article.

I agree with your conclusion and I suspect if Brett doesn’t start one of these last four games it will be due to injury. And I’ve also never heard of “Cooking with Marie” but that is, I must say, a very beautiful woman. Way better than Sterger and her slutty looking buddy Allison!

It's just funny the way this has unfolded

For 2 years she got her kicks by showing off pictures to her friends. Then she gets fired from the Jets organization and the fun begins to end for her. She gets a shot at having her own show, which tanks. Then all of a sudden, 2 years after the fact, she wants to hamstring #4? I wonder why? First it was pay me and I’ll keep quiet. Now its punish him and I won’t sue. Retarded.

What Favre does in his personal life is none of my business. I love the way he plays the game. But as far as being a husband, that’s between he and his wife.

Over/Under On How Many Months To Sterger's Playboy Spread?

I say it comes out in November of 2012

Anyhow, I actually thought Sterger was handling the situation fairly well when the rumors first broke: it seemed one of her friends betrayed her by releasing the photos to Gawker, Sterger refused to comment on the story, and was reported to just want the whole thing to blow over.

Seems like it was a publicity ploy all along, and she is now playing it wrong.

Character assassination

What Sterger, her agent, and Deadspin have done is clearly character assassination for monetary gain, sure. It’s not libel or slander, most likely, because Favre hasn’t denied the accusations. Perhaps he can’t truthfully deny them.

If he did what he did, it ain’t great. Also, if he did, Goodell might well suspend him, given his history with Rothlesberger and other high-profile players involved in off field indiscretions, whether or not those are proven in a court of law. That said, going after character — deservedly or not — doesn’t undermine the validity or potency of her argument.

Raging against Jenn Sterger won’t do anything but vent your frustrations. It certainly won’t wipe the stench off our, ahem, starting quarterback.

Totally agee

Even if she is milking this for all it’s worth (which I suspect she is – or she’s just a die-hard Vikings fan who’s sick of seeing Favre lose games for us), it still doesn’t mitigate Favre’s actions or involvement. However, I think Deanna is poised to sanction Favre far worse than the league ever could. ;)

Please, suspend Favre.

Totally agree that this chick is milking this for as much money and attention as she can right now. However, would suspending Favre really be a bad thing? He leads the league in turnovers, throwing an INT something like every 5 or 6 passes. I know Tarvaris didn’t exactly play lights-out when he went in last week, but at least he complemented those INTs with a couple touchdowns, something Favre hasn’t been able to match. I think right now, though, anything that keeps Favre off the field is good for the Vikes, since he doesn’t have the sense to pull himself from a game when he’s clearly ineffective.

I think most of us fail to register just how amazing his streak is.

He is pushing 300 NFL games consecutively started. Most players don’t make it the full 16 without missing a week due to injury. Say what you want about Favre’s douchiness, 300 NFL starts in a row is simply amazing and a testament to his toughness. No one has ever called #4 soft, let that be a fact.

by Jepp The Viking on Dec 10, 2010 11:19 AM CST up reply actions  

Agreed, but...

The truth is that the streak is ONLY meaningful when the QB comes out to play and in doing so makes his team better. When the streak puts the player ahead of the team, it’s time for the streak to end. Putting a struggling and now very injuried Favre out on the field clearly isn’t in the best interests of the team.

Hard to disagree with any of that...

… except the washed up part. It’s not like she was an actual journalist or even an aspiring journalist. In many ways, to the extent that this stuff has increased her notoriety, it’ll help her get on TV, sell photos, do appearances etc., so unless her career goal was to host TV shows on cable, I don’t think this really hurts her much at all.

But yeah, it was pretty clearly about money, and the best hope they have of getting any now is an NFL decision to discipline Favre, which would become a major part of their later argument to get cash from Favre. “I won’t sue the NFL” would mean a lot more if the league were the only deep pocket here. But with Favre in the picture, and NFL adjudication helps any eventual attempt to sue or get cash from Favre himself, who’s got far more money than she was ever likely to see from the league anyway.

None of that stops Favre from being a loser for engaging in this behavior in the first place.

I will not suggest that Jenn is a picture of virtue, but

I don’t quite understand why people are so quick to think the worst of her. If she wanted money, why did she wait two years to leak this information? Brett could have retired in that time and this story would have been a footnote at best. That seems pretty risky for someone that wants to cash in. I doubt if Favre will be suspended over it, but I think her camp is asking for a suspension as a way to stem the tide of criticism that she is looking for money.

I also do not understand why the league is taking so long on this — they are responsible for Jenn’s extended stay in the limelight. Just announce the result of the investigation and whatever the league is doing about it and be done with it. If he did this, and it seems pretty certain that he did, I think it is a horrible thing to have done both to Jenn and his wife. And, anyone suggesting that Jenn brought it on herself by the way she looks, dresses, or acts does not get any respect from me.

IF HE DID DO THIS, then trust me when I say there would be a million other men who would have done the same damn thing, married or not. Where is it your job to say that what Favre did is anything worse than what I or any other man would have done? And poor Jenn? Are you kidding me?

You can tell me that you are sitting at your computer actually believe that she didn’t have any involvement in what has transpired? Look, I am a Favre homer but even I have never made him my idol or a guy that I want my son to be like. Football player, yes. Regular man, hell no.
Also, you ask why it is taking the NFL so long to figure this out? Again, you can’t be serious. It’s called making sure that you verify all the facts unlike ESPN before you convict.

Sean, I don’t feel any different about this because it is Favre than I would if it were some nobody like you or me. And, while there may be “a million other men” who would do it (are we talking in the U.S. or on the planet?), I think the vast majority of men would not. I’m not sure of your marital status, but if you are married I think your wife would be alarmed by your cavalier attitude about how men behave.

As to what I believe, I have no idea what happened and neither do you. What I have observed, though, is a lot of people on this site and elsewhere who have a tendency to think the worst of people and their intentions. You might call me naive or ignorant, but I do not think that is any way to live your life.

On the time this has taken, the NFL has already stated that their investigation is done. So, I don’t think they are in fact verification mode anymore. I think they are in tread lightly on one of the greatest QBs of all time mode. But, letting the story drag out for multiple news cycles really does not do anything positive for anyone.

how is my attitude cavalier? Because I believe that most men

would do what Favre has been accused of doing? I am happily married by the way and I have already discussed this with my wife and she agrees that most men would do what Favre has been accused of doing. So explain to me how you get that my attitude is cavalier. Don’t for one second insinuate that I would do what Favre has been accused of doing. Do not lump me into that group. And you have an issue with how we have a tendency to think the worse about people’s intentions? If it looks like a skunk, smells like a skunk, it is a skunk. Plain and simple. Her friends have gone on record stating she found all the sexting and pictures to be funny and HAS sexted back to Favre but now she is having an issue with it? If her friends are lying, then what does that say about her choice in friends that they would lie about her? Favre is a womanizer and it has been duly noted. But don’t sit there and say that a woman who will flaunt her melons in public should be given the benefit of the doubt just because it seems like she has nothing to gain. No she isn’t gaining money from this most likely, be she sure as hell is getting a little more famous than she was.
And as for the time it has taken since the NFL has announced the conclusion of the investigation, have you ever thought that maybe, maybe just maybe, they need to see what they can and can’t do for punishment due to the NFLPA? Also, when a union is involved, lawyers etc, there are alot of people who have to be contacted before we find out but I am sure the info will be leaked soon enough.

So, let me get this straight:

You would not behave in a way that both you and, apparently, your wife have stated is the behavior of “most men.” Would you say you are an exceptional man? Would most of the men you call your friends or in your family behave like this? How about men you know through work or school?

For me, I know very few men who would behave like this. But, I guess it makes you feel better about Brett Favre to shrug off (this is where the cavalier part comes in, so pay attention) what he apparently did as the behavior of most men and certainly the behavior of rich and famous athletes. And, you feel the need to shrug this behavior off even before it is confirmed that he did it.

no I am saying that you need to quit believing that athletes should act

better than the average guy. I never said that what he allegedly did was right and have never came to that defense. Yes, I am an exceptional man. Yes I have great friends. But I will never be naive to believe men do not act like this. This is where you and I differ. You may not know many men who did what Favre is alleged to have done. But does that mean they are not out there? Sure you and I may have friends who would never do this but fact of the matter is THERE are people who are womanizing. Just like there are conniving women out there. You act like NOBODY has ever done this. You act like NOBODY would ever do this. You live in your little bubble and assume that the world is perfect and that every man is like yourself. I am not brushing aside what Favre was alleged to have done. If he did it then he did it and will face the consequences but don’t think for one second that I am going to crucify the guy before all the facts are out on the table.

Your said "most men would act this way"

as in, more often than not. I’m with Ben T, I don’t think most would either. There are definitely some, but not most.

"If he did do this, then trust me when I say there would be a million other men who would have done the same damn thing."

True. And if they’re married, and not in the sort of relationship where the wife thinks that’s ok, they’re as pathetic as he is.

Brett Favre and Jen Sterger in:

Sending dick pics and tossing pick sixs.

This money grubbing HO should be thankful....

without this nobody in the country would know who she is. And if you look at all the pictures of her, it doesn’t look like she was EVER trying to look professional and not use her sex appeal to get her ahead. Also, as a few people have already stated why would she keep these pictures for so long if she wasn’t looking for a big payday?? This is why a lot of athletes get a bad rep. Because these whores are always looked at as the victims. And we’ve all seen how they can easily change the landscape of sports with their lies about what happened….just ask Mike Tyson.

Let's see now....

if one threatens to take further action if they do not realize a certain outcome, that is called, um, what is the word, oh, yeah, BLACKMAIL!!!!
While this latest “demand” of the Sterger camp is out in the open, it reveals what the mindset was all along—-to use the texts/photos to make a buck. If I am not mistaken, her intent was not for deadspin to get their hands on them, but, someone else sent them without her knowledge. This is where things spun out of control for her.
This is the essence of the blackmailer——-you know that what you have cannot be proven in court, but, you know the embarrassment caused by the revelation would be so great that you will get paid off behind the scenes.
Look, if BF did these things, he is a dbag, married with kids and now a grandchild. But Sterger needs to be called out for what she is as well.

shes a fool

If she tries to blackmail favre. He can counter sue her for extortion.

by mattnmics on Dec 10, 2010 1:58 PM CST reply actions  

What I am saying is....

I believe that blackmail was the initial play, BEFORE evidence was leaked to deadspin. After this occurred, the plan was derailed. Now, with this ultimatum being made to the league, we are seeing where the original mindset was all along.

favre is going to have the last laugh, when this is all set and done.

Her 15 minutes of fame is just about up, so shes going down swinging.

since she has filed no complaint, i wonder if jenn is a real person....

pics and texts

Have been sent,re-sent so much they are having a hard time determining wether they have been doctored or where they originally came from,thats why the League is taking so long.

by speedlod on Dec 10, 2010 2:38 PM CST reply actions  

exactly, unless they have originals

you have to err on the side of caution. And I doubt there are originals and unless this person is an awesome photoshopper, doctoring of photos and texts are easily doctorable. Unless they get the information from the phone company, there is no 100 percent proof.

Sorry but if this is blatent pro vikings bias, if it was about money she would have started sueing a month ago and been on every chat show in the country. Besides with the way he is playing would it be a bad thing? No, not really. If you send pictures of your genitles to people then you aren’t going to come out of it well. Farve messed up, it happens, they will fine him. As for the more influence there is no way the NFL wants this theatre to drag out any longer than it has and they know this.

you forgot....girl has a collection of dick pics which she brags about to her friends....

friends come up with idea of how to exploit the situation for personal gain….
girl hires pr firm er, lawyer to help create the impression of an “abused woman”…
then distance their client from a potential slander case by arranging that a “third party” be involved….
then third party releases dick pics to promte a retarded website and create a media frenzy just prior to a monday night football match up of the vikes and jets in order to coerce a quick settlement from berfve…
and do so while riding in the wake of the “charo” incident (that other worthless bimbo “journalist”)…
then tries to leverage the notoriety into getting her “not quite good enough body” published in playboy…
then holds out on cooperating with the nfl until the randy moss affair blows over…
then tries to save face by having her douchebag lawyer make statement that she only wants “justice”…
then makes another statement urging the nfl to “rule” on this ri-dick-ulous affair….
then whimpers out one more attempt to claim that she won’t seek money IF the nfl “rules” in her favor….

by the way, no charges have ever been filed to anyone for any wrongdoing on anyone’s part. am i wrong?

jenn sterger is nothing but a worthless money-grubbing whore, imo (and so is brett favre).

but, of course, i am only stating the obvious.

“JEN STERGER BLOW UP DOLLS, 10 BUCKS A POP, GET ‘EM WHILE THEY’RE HOT”

Suspend Favre and play T Jackson and beat the Giants & Bears. That way Jen & Brett both go away . Is it me or does she look like Deanna Favre?

by joeybal56 on Dec 10, 2010 4:32 PM CST reply actions  

What exactly would she sue for?

receiving pictures?

Hm. I guess that’s a crime…

by loldotcom on Dec 10, 2010 6:13 PM CST reply actions  

Even if there isn't an employment claim....

… many states allow civil claims for negligent (or intentional) infliction of emotional distress, harassment and others that might fit. I’m not expert at this stuff, but it seems to me that the biggest problem she’ll have is to show damages. She could try to pin the lost TV show on the bad press, but as Gates pointed out that probably had a lot more to do with ratings than it did anything else. She might try to link the end of her employment with the Jets to, well shoot, I don’t know. That doesn’t make any sense.

I can tell you that in Wisconsin, if the pictures can be linked to s specific person, sending them to a person unsolicited and unwanted is most definitely a crime. But I’m not sure if, even if it’s the case in New York, that that fact alone gives her a civil claim of any sort, and of course the pictures would have to be proven to have been sent by the person getting sued, which might be impossible.

Yawn. While I think Favre’s a tool, this story is pretty played out.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Dec 10, 2010 7:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Favre admitted text, denied photos

So why does everyone in this thread assume that it’s his junk. I have to say, it would be interesting to be the forensics expert on that case. Between the hands and the other items it would have to be pretty easy to prove or disprove a match up, so long a BF submitted to a photo for comparison purposes. Make a good episode of CSI.
