Brett Favre Penalized $50,000 For Not Cooperating

'We've seen the last of Brett Favre - for now.'

They say that everything happens in New York, although technically in the case of Favre, the alleged penis pictures were sent to Jenn Sterger while Favre was playing football in the NJ Meadowlands stadium as a member of the NY Jets. Whatever the case, the Associated Press reports that the National Football League has fined Favre $50,000 - not for sexual harassment, but for “failure to cooperate,” said National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell. No suspension was handed down, accounts the Associated Press. Source for this article - Brett Favre fined $50,000, not suspended for failure to cooperate by MoneyBlogNewz.

Brett Favre not cooperating much at all

Commissioner Goodell “could not conclude” that there were violations of the league’s personal conduct policy by Favre with the evidence at present, accounts AP. He apparently decided to take action though. A $50,000 fine could simply a way of implying “You're guilty, Mr. Favre” without officially making such a statement. It's considered sexual harassment to text lewd photos to anyone of the opposite sex in a workplace. While Favre was on the team in 2008, Jenn Sterger was a NY Jets game-day hostess. She supposedly got Brett Favre penis pictures along with other lewd texts from him. Some critics question why Sterger brought up the incident 2 years after it allegedly occurred, however Brett Favre's “failure to cooperate” suggests that he was far from innocent. Considering Favre's past admission of having been unfaithful to his wife and his noted substance abuse issues (alcohol, pain killers), suspicion is understandable. According to Deadspin, Favre also expressed interest in 2 female massage therapists who worked for the New York Jets at the time.

Not responsible without suspension

Brett Favre confessed to inviting Jenn Sterger to his room and also leaving her inappropriate voicemails. He denied the Brett Favre penis pictures though. The National Football League has taken a “somewhat innocent until proven guilty” stance with Brett Favre which is quite inconsistent. Appearances were the concern when Commissioner Goodell made that choice. As NFL disciplinarian, this is his job. It is curious, however, that the league could not connect the sexual harassment dots with Favre.

Brett Favre Goes To Vikings Practice And No Bridges Are At The Moment For Sale

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:44:11 +0000

A modern version of "The Boy who Cried Wolf" is "Brett Favre is Retiring." However, Brett Favre really has gone to practice with the Minnesota Vikings. The worm has turned after some teammates visited him at home. The NFL legend, who holds multiple records in football, hasn't said if he's there entirely for good, but Favre showing up for practice indicates he probably will play this season.

Minnesota has Brett Favre back

After the third year of intense debate over the subject, Brett Favre has held out until the last minute and decided not to retire, returning to practice with the Minnesota Vikings. On Tuesday, Aug. 17, Favre stepped off a plane and joined his teammates on the practice field, having missed yet one more training camp, according to ESPN. Last season, Brett Favre didn't seem to need any stinking training camp. He and also the Vikings went on a Viking like campaign, which involved a merciless slaughter of a pitiful Dallas Cowboys team in the first round of playoffs. In a loss in overtime to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game, Favre picked up the ankle injury that has plagued him since then.

Decision to return may are helped by fellow Vikings

Some of the other guys on the team may have spurred his decision. 3 other Vikings headed to Favre's home in Hattiesburg, Miss., to convince him to come to practice. Favre was visited by Steve Hutchinson, Ryan Longwell, and also the holder of arguably the pre-eminent mullet of our age, Jared Allen. They must have made quite the argument, because he flew back to Minnesota with them.

The only grandfather within the league for making a lot

Brett Favre stands to earn an additional $20 million this season, according to USA Today. He will earn it though. The Green Bay Packers are one of their opening 8 matches, and they probably still want to gun for Favre. Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers put up some very good numbers last year, and knocking off the Vikings, with Favre to boot, can be a real feather in their cap.
