What happened, if you don't know the story, is that two years ago, Brett Favre, now a quarterback with the Minnesota Vikings, was a QB for the same Jets he will face on Monday Night Football, tonight. During that time, he reportedly expressed interest in meeting Jenn Sterger, and so enlisted the help of someone in the Jets PR department (the person named, Jared Wiley says he didn't do it) to get her phone number.
Once Favre got the number, it's alleged that he called her to schedule a meetup and sent her photos of his penis. All of this was uncovered by Deadspin, which reportedly paid $60,000 for the photos, and then posted them without a care for decency.
Now, a person reported to be or have been a massage therapist for the Jets came forward to explain that she too had been contacted by Favre in the same way. But what's not clear in that case is how he got her number - that story seems fishy to me.
Now, according to Pro Football Talk, Jenn Sterger will Cooperate With NFL in its investigation. Moreover, Brett Favre said he's willing to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Deadspin Attacked On Favre Story
Meanwhile, Deadspin has received major heat for its decision to post the photos of what's said to be Brett Favre's cock. What's bothersome here is that Brett has yet to categorically deny the story.
Stay tuned.
