Can we please talk stop talking about this? My question goes out to the media, the ESPN’s and HLN’s of the world. Over the last week or so you’ve made the Favre “sexting scandal” you’re top story. Why? Do you really have nothing else to talk about? As a life long Brett Favre fan I’d like to give you my thoughts on this whole situation. This story first broke on Deadspin.com, not the most credible of media sources in my opinion. If you’ve ever explored their website you know that their main focus is on sports gossip and humorous stories. You would think major media outlets would do some fact checking before running with this story, but I guess not, just ask Fox News. Do I believe that Favre sent explicit messages and photos to Jenn Sterger? Probably. Look at her, I could see why he would be interested. He wouldn’t be the first professional athlete to cheat on his wife. Was it wrong? Of course, we’re talking about sexual harassment here, but it’s not the end of the world. I’ll let the media continue to speculate on whether Favre will be punished by the league, but I don’t think he will, there’s really no proof he did anything. Isn’t it convenient though? This story breaks a week before the Vikings play the Jets in NY on Monday Night Football. Jenn Sterger hosts a struggling TV show, “The Daily Line” on Verses. This story has brought a ton of free publicity to Sterger, the Jets, and MNF. I’ll leave the conspiracies for our friend Pete Tomaino, but it makes you wonder. I have one request for the media. Please move on, we don’t need to ruin another professional athlete’s life over hearsay and speculation. Do your job, report on the facts.
