We’ve been surmising the NFL wouldn’t do anything to Brett Favre in relation to his behavior towards Jenn Sterger.
Today, they more or less did just that, deciding to only fine Favre for not being cooperative during the league’s investigation into his conduct.
Not surprisingly, Sterger isn’t too happy.
Her lawyer, Joseph Conway, released the following statement, today.

My client and I are extremely disappointed, but not surprised, at today’s NFL announcement that Brett Favre did not violate the NFL “workplace conduct” policy. While I am not privy to how Mr. Goodell reached such a finding, we strongly disagree with his conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to support a violation of the policy. To the contrary, our evidence and the personal testimony of Ms. Sterger clearly showed a pattern of lewd and offensive behavior by Mr. Favre that lasted all of the 2008 season. As noted in the NFL’s release, “there was no evidence to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct.” In addition to the offensive messages, there was ample evidence to show that the sexually explicit photographs were part of Favre’s inappropriate behavior. Our evidence clearly showed that the photos were sent by Favre.
Likewise, Mr. Goodell completely failed to address the complicity of the New York Jet organization in Favre’s conduct. The evidence was explicit that Ms. Sterger’s personal telephone numbers were provided to Favre by still-current employees of the New York Jets. This was done without Ms. Sterger’s knowledge and consent.
Furthermore, the fact that the League took the step of fining Favre for “not being candid in several respects during the investigation” is disturbing in the message it sends. It clearly shows that an NFL star player was given preferential treatment and tells all other players that failure to cooperate may cost you some money but will not result in other punishment. Additionally, today’s decision is an affront to all females and shows once again that, despite tough talk, the NFL remains the good old boys’ league.

I can’t say I disagree.
This may not be new news or even true, but they were saying on Chicago sports radio that the statute of limitations for Sterger to sue Favre is two years and would have expired yesterday. So it would appear that the NFL stalled to protect Favre from being sued as they knew her and her lawyers wouldn’t be satisfied with the disciplinary action that was handed down. In other words, Sterger got punk’d by Goodell and his cronies.
It is both hilarious and really sad at the same time. Regardless, Favre is an all-around piece of shit.
Did you guys see that big old cud of chewing tobacco Brent had in his lip last night against Philly. What a role model for kids, I mean come on can’t you wait until the cameras are off you like in your hotel room. I guess that’s what happens when your a backwards ass country fuck from Mississippi. His name is even fucked up FAVRE should be pronounced Faav-rey, but his hillbilly anscestors say it (Farve) <—— see doesn't that make more sense. You are all moron's, Farve's!
Statements from lawyers are general worth less than the paper or digital memory they are printed on, but this one is HILARIOUS.
I think we are all missing the most important point here. Does this mean no more Jenn Sterger pictures on this site???
buddy = IQ = -1
Poor, poor little whore. I really feel sorry for the worthless skank. What a raw deal… And what exactly was she expecting to get out of all this?
Favre played this one pretty good….he got rid of some pocket change and made her and her douchebag lawyer look like shit!
Wow I hate the NFL. They don’t listen to anyone.
