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.
I understand where you are coming from. But the thing is, it goes both ways. What if you had a son? How would you feel if he lost his job due to a false sexual harassment charge? Would your reaction make the papers? THAT goes on way too often, too.
Probably!
And we all know that stuff happens also....
Much of this stuff can be avoided if people are just careful who they hang around and what they do.
For example, if someone who goes out drinking heavily with co workers, they are much more likely to end up on the wrong side of one of these situations.
Who hasn’t sent pictures of their penis to a female???
I would have, but I could never get the entire thing into the picture.
You can if you use “landscape” mode.
Tried that, even zoomed all the way out.
Hold on, I got put some rubber boots on it’s getting messy.
Yeah cause pretty girls should be able to act however they want without ANY repercussions.
Wide angle lense, brother. I need one to fit it and its wheelbarrow in the picture.

I didn't know we had that reputation. I thought we were gun toting religious nuts. It is the liberals who go off the deep end on sex. How did you get that opinion?
Scroll back up and read the third paragraph again. You must have missed it the first time.

What were you trying to show/prove?
