Tag: Brett Favre (Page 12 of 64)

I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t mind seeing Lord Favre go down for this Jenn Sterger scandal. I don’t care how hot Sterger is or that other red-blooded men probably would have attempted the same thing (uh, picking her up…not sending her junk mail) – I still wouldn’t mind seeing the guy get taken down a few pegs.

Favre is an egomaniac. He thinks that because he’s a NFL legend that he can retire or unretire whenever he wants and he probably thought that Sterger would be knocking at his bedroom door at the sound of his voice. I don’t buy the good ol’ boy act anymore and while I still love watching him play, I think he needs a lesson in humility.

That said, he’s not going to be suspended. He’s scheduled to meet with NFL vice president of security Milt Ahreich on Tuesday, but I highly doubt anything will come out of the interview. Sterger isn’t talking about the situation and if the key witness/victim/catalyst won’t talk, then how can the league suspend Favre?

Another thing to keep in mind is that the league has never disciplined Favre before, so he would be a first-time offender if the NFL felt as though he embarrassed the shield by his actions. Plus, he didn’t legally do anything wrong here. It’s not like Sterger filed a sexual harassment suit against him, so even if the league did want to suspend him, how long could they possibly keep him out if he was never charged with anything?

Chances are the only thing Favre will have to deal with is the pain and embarrassment he caused for his wife. Other than that, it’s doubtful anything more will come from the situation.

Everyone knows Lord Favre has an ego but who knew it was the actual size of China.

According to a report by ESPN.com, Favre has already declined a meeting with NFL security chief Milt Alherich, who is leading an investigation into allegations that Lord sent inappropriate text messages to former Jets employee Jenn Sterger in 2008. The league has allowed Favre the final option of meeting either Monday or Tuesday, but who knows if he’ll spurn the NFL again.

The kicker is that Alherich and his security department has had zero success to interview Sterger, too. So if Favre cooperates and Sterger doesn’t press the issue, then chances are the Vikings’ QB won’t face any disciplinary action. Based on the evidence (uh, internet evidence) it’s clear that Favre made several advances on Sterger during his time in New York. But if she remains uncooperative, then how can the league push forward with its investigation?

If I’m Favre, I’m holding the meeting with Alherich and my only response to his questions would be: “Prove it.”

“Did you send a text message to Jenn Sterger with a photo of your penis, Mr. Favre?”

“Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t but you’re going to have to prove that I sent the junk mail to Mrs. Sterger. Prove that it’s my junk in those photos, Mr. NFL Security Man.”

We’ll see what Favre decides at the start of the week, but the NFL isn’t going to just let this die. He’s not bigger than the league, even if he thinks he is.

On a related note, the Vikings picked up their second win of the season on Sunday when they beat the Cowboys, 24-21. Favre completed 14-of-19 passes for only 118 yards and a touchdown, but the key is that he only turned the ball over once (a fumble), as opposed to his normal three-plus turnovers.
