"Gone Too FARve"

The Story: The NFL is aggressively investigating allegations that Favre sent inappropriate messages and photos to a former Jets employee, a source familiar with the league's review told Mortensen.

The investigation is on a fast track and commenced Thursday, the same day that Deadspin.com posted voice messages and salacious photos that Favre allegedly sent to Jenn Sterger when both were employed by the New York Jets in 2008.

The Analysis: Something about Brett Farve and sex scandal in the same sentence just don't seem right.  Are you surprise?  If you are innocent, why cry and give a speech to your teammates saying I need you to carry me versus the Jets. On the flip side, maybe he didn't do it.  In addition, why didn't the report come out when it happen?  Why all of a sudden when he returns to New York...just maybe somebody didn't get the type of Tiger Woods money they thought they would.  Just throwing it out there...

More commentary from writer Jason Whitlock of FoxSports.com regarding Sexism and Sports
What other explanation is there for the attack on Jenn Sterger? She’s done nothing wrong. Nothing. Even if she participated in the selling of the e-mails, voice mails and pictures to Deadspin -- which Deadspin claims she did not -- she has acted appropriately.


Sterger is not like the Tiger Woods groupies who willingly slept with the married golfer and then squealed so they could cash in.

Sterger, if you believe the allegations, was a victim of harassment. An older, married man made repeated, unwanted and offensive advances toward her. A full-time Jets employee, in an attempt to make the team’s star quarterback happy, gave Favre her contact information.

This is sexual harassment. She’s in her mid 20s, trying to get a foot in the door with the Jets. One of the most important players in the NFL allegedly used all of his leverage in an attempt to bed her.

Why are people upset that she would turn Favre’s harassment into a winning hand for herself? Why is there a pointless debate about whether she was a “reporter” or “game-day host” for the Jets?

She’s a human being. If she sold popcorn for the Jets, Favre’s conduct would still be inappropriate.

If we find out she slept with Favre or led him on, I’ll reverse my position and lump her with the sleazy opportunists who exploited the Tiger situation.

As of right now, I hope she capitalizes in every way possible. I hope she’s on Oprah’s couch Tuesday and on Leno and Letterman later in the week.
