Wait. So if I'm reading that story correctly, Deadspin ran with this story without ever having seen the photos?

I'm amazed they haven't been threatened with a defamation suit!

Her actions, in my opinion, are much more congruent with a hamfisted attempt to extort money out of Brett Favre, an attempt that blew up in her face when he unexpectedly refused to cave in and did the right thing: refuse to talk about the situation.

More men in his shoes would do well to heed his example. Regardless of what you say, whether you're innocent or not, the moment you open your mouth, it's a no-win situation. Keep your mouth shut, and more often than not it will blow off.

I agree with you that her actions suggest some gold digging intentions...no dispute there.

However, I'm curious why you feel silence would be Brett's best option if he were innocent. I acknowedge that this is a very curious case with 3 separate stakeholders acting very strangely in this ordeal, but to me, the most telling bit of 'evidence' was Brett's unwillingness to claim innocence.

If you look at the stories and the lengths that some recent athletes have gone to in order to clear their names - Cushing and Floyd Landis immediately jump to mind - to me it's almost an admission of guilt by Brett to keep silent...and maybe the best course of action if he was guilty, but I'm not sure why letting rumors linger is a good strategy if you are in fact innocent.

You were basing all your information on reports and NEVER read the initial and MAIN web site that started it all?

No, I had read that story when it first came out, but I thought that later she had associated her name with it.

Wow.

Gah, the time I do give the media the benefit of the doubt, I come out with egg on my face.

Everything is so vague and unprovable with this case that it's hard to complain about the $50,000 fine. That's just 5% of one of his game checks (yes--he earned $1 million per game), but it still has some symbolic significance. It's a very bad way for him to end his career. Think about it: Brett Favre, who for years has been perceived by many to be the essence of the NFL and has relished that role, was just fined by the NFL for failing to cooperate with an investigation. That's not good for his image as he rides off into the sunset.

he deserves punishment because she was working for the jets at the time & he was their 'star' qb. if she hadn't been working for them, this wouldn't even be a story.

and you saying you're the one who says don't jump to conclusions made me LOL, nsd!!

Trust me, 10 years from now nobody's going to care about his failure to cooperate. Now, if it ends up being displayed beyond reasonable doubt that he did something illegal involving "that woman" (channeling Bill Clinton here), THAT would tarnish his legacy. But a fine? Give me a break.

none of us will ever know the true story.
two sides & the truth's in the middle is my belief.
if you honestly believe favre is completely innocent in this...that's humorous.
if you honestly believe sterger is completely innocent in this...that's also humorous.

didn't he at some time admit he sent the texts to her? but not the pics, right? i don't feel sorry for her OR him - i think they're both complete idiots. however since he made an admission to sending her somewhat sexual texts, he deserved to be punished.

I think you are referring to this:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Brett-Favre-admits-to-voicemails-but-not-photos 

He never admitted to any texts (at least according to Glazer), it was those voicemails. If those voicemails constitute a suspension, I am not sure where you are going. What would be the reason for the suspension?
