      Brett Favre’s sister arrested on two drug charges

      January 13, 2011 /

      It’s been a rough year for the Favre family.

      Just months after big brother was accused of sending photos of his twig and giggle berries to former Jets’ sideline reporter Jenn Sterger, Brett’s 34-year-old sister Brandi was arrested in a police bust of a meth lab in Mississippi on Wednesday.

      TMZ has the details:

      34-year-old Brandi Favre was busted after cops broke up a meth lab hidden in a condo in an upscale neighborhood.

      Cops told WLOX, “We discovered the full lab in the bathroom; it was still cooking. I think we collected pretty close to ten grams of finished product, which, that’s a lot of meth.”

      Brandi — and 4 others — have all been charged with manufacturing meth, possession of a controlled substance, transferring a controlled substance and generation of hazardous waste.

      UPDATE: Brandi appeared in a Hancock County courtroom this morning, where her bond was set at $40,000.

      Apparently this isn’t the first time that Brandi has been in trouble with the law. According to MSNBC.com, arresting officers said that they are “very familiar” with Favre and that she’s “always in trouble.”

      The good news for Brett is that he doesn’t have to answer any questions about his sister now that the season is over. The bad news is that his sister was just busted for cooking meth. So…six in one, half dozen in the other, I guess.

      Easter should be fun at the Favre household this year. Kids! What have you been up to? Well, Brett texted his wanker to a chick half his age and Brandi got busted in a raid of a meth house. So yeah, been pretty busy.

      Two women suing Brett Favre for sexual harassment

      January 3, 2011 /

      According to ABC News, two women are suing Brett Favre for sexual harassment after he made “lewd passes” at them while they were massage therapists for the Jets.

      Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole, both former massage therapists for the New York Jets, filed suit against Favre, the New York Jets and Lisa Ripi, a woman who hires massage therapists for the team, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York today.

      In the suit, Scavo alleges that Favre sent text messages to another unidentified massage therapist, asking Scavo and the unidentified woman to “get together” with Favre.

      Scavo said that in 2008 while Favre was with the New York Jets, he treated her like a “hanging slab of meat.” In the suit she claims he wanted a three-way with her and another therapist.

      Favre allegedly texted the unidentified therapist, writing, “Brett here, you and Crissy want to get together, I’m all alone,” according to the lawsuit.

      Favre allegedly sent another text message reading, “Kinda lonely tonight, I guess I have
      bad intentions.”

      Scavo claimed that after she refused Favre’s advances and had her husband, Joseph Scavo, call Favre to demand an apology, both Scavo and the other plaintiff, Shannon O’Toole, were never offered work with the Jets again.

      Scavo’s husband said he confronted the quarterback to stop soliciting his wife and asked for an apology, but Favre “responded in an inappropriate manner and refused,” according to the lawsuit.

      This is what Jenn Sterger should have done if she was serious about wanting Favre to be punished for “harassing” her: file a lawsuit and let the courts deal with it. Instead, Sterger and her overpaid lawyer demanded that the NFL punish Favre and then stated how disappointed they were that the league only fined him. Get real.

      When these women first made headlines with their Favre story, some people thought they were just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame and follow in Sterger’s footsteps. But this suit proves that they mean business.

      Favre won’t be able to duck the court system like he did with the NFL when it came to the Sterger investigation. The Supreme Court isn’t going to fine him $50,000 for lack of cooperation and send him on his way. They’re going to come after him hard.

      This just proves that our pasts will come back to haunt as at some point.

      Leo Sterger adds to the circus that is the Brett Favre scandal

      December 31, 2010 /

      Jenn Sterger’s father Leo better not meet Brett Favre down a dark alley or else they’ll be hell to pay.

      His words – not mine.

      From the New York Daily News:

      Leo Sterger, whose daughter allegedly received unwelcome genitalia photos from Favre, says he is “absolutely furious” that the NFL let the Vikings quarterback off with a $50,000 fine Wednesday after Favre did not fully cooperate with the league’s two-month investigation into the matter.

      “I better not meet that guy down a dark alley,” the elder Sterger told Radar Online Thursday. “Their decision is a complete travesty to women, and they are just treating him this way because he is the NFL’s golden boy.”

      This entire situation has become a joke for all parties involved. First and foremost, Favre is a creep for sending Sterger pictures of his frank and beans (or was it just of his frank?) when he’s a married man. After she stopped his advances the first time, he should have called it a day and moved on. Why he thought sending her a text of his junk would make her swoon is beyond me.

      Sterger needs a reality check, too. What was her end game here? She said the reason she kept the photos and messages was so that she could laugh at them later with her friends. Clearly she never felt in danger so she can’t get away with playing the victim. If she felt harassed, she should have said something right away. Or if she was too embarrassed and that’s why she waited, then her lawyer should have told her to file a sexual harassment suit on Favre instead of demanding that the NFL take care of the situation.

      The NFL’s policy has always been to let the legal process carry out first. But since Sterger and her lawyer decided to force the league to play judge, jury and executioner, then they’ll have to settle with Favre’s punishment. Was it a slap on the wrist? Yeah. The guy made $16.5 million this year and was fined one percent of that. He’ll make that money back when he scratches his ass on the sideline this Sunday in Detroit. But if Sterger’s camp wanted stiffer (no pun intended) punishment, then it should have filed a harassment suit and went from there. Unless of course, they knew her story wouldn’t stand up in court and so they decided to force the NFL’s hand.

      Either way, this situation has turned into a circus. The NFL’s decision is a travesty to women? Get real. If you want a true victim in this situation, look no farther than Deanna Favre. Think about the embarrassment she’s suffered in all of this.

      Favre to be disciplined in Sterger case?

      December 29, 2010 /

      According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, a decision on the Jenn Sterger case involving Brett Favre is expected to come in the next 48 hours. And per the report, Favre will be disciplined.

      The league has been investigating allegations that Favre sent inappropriate photos and phone messages to Sterger in 2008, when he was the quarterback for the New York Jets and she was a game hostess for the team.

      Sterger’s manager, Phil Reese, has said his client would like the league to “implement a program” to prevent unwanted advances similar to those she is alleging Favre made.

      Reese said Sterger wants the league to discipline Favre before his career ends. “It’s not a money story,” Reese said, adding his client’s goal is some acknowledgment that Favre was in the wrong.

      Unless they fine him an inordinate amount of money, this won’t be a very big win for Sterger. The Vikings were knocked out of the playoffs weeks ago and he’s not expected to play in their season finale this Sunday. So what’s the worst that can happen to him? He gets suspended for a game he wasn’t going to suit up for anyway?

      That said, there will be some embarrassment that comes along with any punishment that Favre receives. This could very well be his last season in the NFL and he’s going to go out severing a fine for sending inappropriate text messages to a sideline reporter. Talk about your anti-victory lap.

      Of course, as always with Favre, there’s never a guarantee that he’ll walk away.

      Update: Favre has been fined $50,000 for his lack of cooperation during the NFL’s investigation into his relationship with Sterger. Seeing as how he made $16 million this season, I don’t he’ll lose sleep over the one percent he lost with his fee. He won’t be suspended, as the league decided that he didn’t violate any rules.

      Did Favre ask Sterger for naughty video?

      December 24, 2010 /

      The Brett Favre-Jenn Sterger saga just got a whole lot creepier. According to the New York Daily News (via TMZ.com), Favre wanted Sterger to reciprocate when he sent her the photos of his junk.

      According to TMZ.com, Favre, who allegedly sent graphic text messages to the TV personality in 2008, also requested to see a video of Sterger masturbating.

      The request, reportedly sent via text months after the X-rated photos were exchanged, may be one of the documents included in the NFL’s investigation of the football star.

      Sterger also wants the league to establish an anti-sexual harassment program to prevent incidents like the one she had with Favre, who now plays for the Minnesota Vikings, from happening again.

      It’s not surprising to hear that there’s more to this story but I’m still not buying that Sterger is a victim. The league probably would benefit from an anti-sexual harassment program, just like any business would. But Sterger isn’t Susan B. Anthony. She already said that her and her friends poked fun at Favre’s advancements, so to come out and demand that the league sets up an anti-sexual harassment program sounds fake.

      That said, the thing that has been forgotten in all this is that Favre is a married man who shouldn’t have been sending inappropriate texts to anyone (uh, outside of his wife…if she’s into that stuff). And for him to ask her for a video of her masturbating is beyond inappropriate. (Whether she laughed it off or not.)
