New allegations surface in Brett Favre, Jenn Sterger saga
Apparently Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre is kinkier than anyone expected or wants to believe. You aren’t a real celebrity unless you are tangled in a sexual controversy, and with that in mind Favre is NFL’s only celebrity this season (unless
we count New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan’s foot fetish).
Incidentally it was in New York when Favre first met Jenn Sterger. In 2008 Sterger was the in-game hostess for the New York Jets, and Favre was the quarterback. The stunning Sterger caught Favre’s fancy, and so began one of the weirdest tales of the NFL
and thankfully it’s been getting weirder.
It began with innocent, if ridiculously dim-witted, text message come-ons which Sterger claimed did not infuriate her. Then the story becomes even stranger. Allegedly Brett Favre sent her picture messages of his ‘manhood,’ on more than one occasion. Favre
has pleaded guilty to sending Sterger the text messages, but denies sending her photos of his anatomy, which only Mrs. Favre should be familiar with.
Sterger has recently come forward with a particularly embarrassing instance of Favre’s charm at its very best. According to Sterger, Favre asked her to make an inappropriate video of herself and send it to him. It is not clear if Sterger, 25 at the time,
acquiesced to the request.
Favre is under investigation by the league, and his legacy has already been tarnished by existing allegations of questionable personal conduct. The league has been dragging its feet in investigating the allegations against Favre. The quarterback suffered
a concussion last week and has not been cleared to play this week. If the investigation is concluded before next week, Favre could face suspension and possibly miss the last game of his spectacular career.
On the other hand if the investigation concludes after the last regular season game, and if Favre retires from the league, he would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the NFL. Sterger has threatened legal action against the league and the New York Jets
if Favre is not disciplined. She has also been trying to set up an anti-sexual harassment program within the league.
At this point it’s unlikely that the league will take any action against Favre, but the quarterback’s last season will forever be marred by the controversy. We hope he at least got a video out of it.
