Text situation about to go from bad to worse for Brett Favre
According to Deadspin, two more women who worked with the Jets (as massage therapists) received advances from Brett Favre.
The woman (who wishes to remain anonymous for now — we’ll call her “Mandy”) worked as a massage therapist for the team for a couple years, but she says never had an incident with a player until No. 4 showed up at training camp at Hofstra University, where the Jets still worked out in 2008. “He was on the table next to mine,” she tells me. “He was looking at my ass the whole time while I worked on another player. He was … ogling me.”
The woman who was massaging Brett that day (massage therapist No. 2, or “Lindsay”) exchanged numbers with him. (Mandy claims it’s common for players to take the numbers of team-contracted massage therapists should they need additional rubdowns off campus. Yeah, I know. Please don’t.)
Lindsay received a text message from Favre, according to Mandy. Lindsay assumed it was for a massage but quickly realized Brett was asking for more. He invited both Lindsay and Mandy back to his hotel room. Mandy claims that the texts became increasingly inappropriate (“just nasty stuff”), but she adds that Brett did apologize when he found out she was married.
Here’s the full story if you’re interested.
The article goes on to say that the husband of “Mandy” called Brett after the incident and demanded an apology, which Favre never gave. Now the couple is threatening to take the story public (uh, even more public), but they want to talk to the NFL and the Jets first because they don’t want “photographers showing up on their lawn.”
It sounds as if Mandy and her husband are looking to parlay their story into a gift of some sort, but they may be waiting a while if that’s the case. The Jets want nothing to do with Favre and it’s not like they’re going to protect him in a situation like this. The NFL is already investigating the Jenn Sterger situation and it’s not like they’re going to pay these people off just because it’s Brett Favre. It sounds as if the league is seeking punishment.
But regardless of what “Mandy” and her husband want in the end, this isn’t good news for Favre. This situation seems to be snowballing fast and just as the Tiger Woods scandal proved, the media isn’t going to stop until it uncovers all the details.
Hang onto your Wranglers, Brett.
