NEW YORK (CBS) Former New York Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger, who accused veteran NFL quarterback Brett Favre of sending her sexually explicit messages, secretly met with the NFL commissioner less than two weeks before Favre was hit with a $50,000 for not cooperating with the league's investigation, according to a report.
In a case which she described as "David vs. Goliath," Sterger told Commissioner Roger Goodell that he was "delusional" if he believed the accusations against Favre were "isolated," her lawyer Joesph Conway told The New York Post.
In October, Gawker sports blog DeadSpin released voice mails and sent lewd photos they say Favre sent to Sterger when they both were employed by the New York Jets in 2008.
During the meeting Sterger told Goodell that she didn't come forward with her story earlier because she felt "the results would have been the same," reports the Post. Goodell reportedly claimed he wasn't in a battle against Sterger but said he needed "answers," to which Sterger replied, "I gave you answers over a month ago!" reports the paper.
Favre, 41, was ultimately punished not for the alleged text and phone messages, but for not cooperating with the league's investigation. Sports Illustrated's Peter King said the league ultimately decided not to suspend Favre because it couldn't prove the photos - some of which included pictures of a penis - were from Favre, or were even of Favre.
On Tuesday, two former massage therapists for the Jets, Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, filed a lawsuit against Favre and the Jets claiming they too were victims of sexual harassment.
The harassment suit claims Favre sought to have group sex with Scavo and an unnamed third therapist.
So far, Favre and the NFL have said nothing about the lawsuit.
Good point!!!!!.....
Well by looking at those pictures, they certainly aren’t pictures of the family. Maybe, just maybe she provoked it. Flame on Farve haters.
I’m sorry. I’m trying real hard to feel sorry for Favre, but just can’t do it.
Blazing Saddles is a work of genius.
Real hard and Brett Favre should be excluded from any linking verb. At least for a while.
If this were a third string kicker would she even have bothered?.....
Wow.
Do you have daughters?
If this were a third string kicker would she even have bothered?.....
so true
Well, don’t get me wrong. I do see one SERIOUS issue here with Favre’s behavior. Sexual harrasment aint it though. It’s that he’s married.
Well I guess we know now why things didn't work out with Mary.
She is upset that he felt she was sexually promiscuous.
The Jets certainly have a lot of talent on the sidelines. Will Inez Saenz be acitivated for Saturday’s game against the Colts? Can they fit her into the roster?
Who hasn’t sent pictures of their penis to a female???
I also feel the whole uni-boob molded bra thing is preying on women. Boobs are not a stationary symetrical pair of lashed down padded joy bags made into one unit. They have nipples too! Can I say that?
Junk needs to have style when it bounces down the street.
I would have, but I could never get the entire thing into the picture.
whatever gave him that idea????
Sorry that use to work back before the ridiculous cash awards started becoming common place.
I fully understand how some jerk can destroy a work environment and make life miserable for a lady. I also understand that there are very clear actions put in place that help document and punish that kind of behavior.
It has absolutely nothing to do with this talentless hack, gold digger sniffing around for a pay off after coning someone into creating a fake job for her.
pretty girls are a dime-a-dozen.
Texan ?
