This is a Story just released about Brett Favre. Brett is apparently going through a scandal like the one that Tiger Woods went through awhile back. This Reporter named Jenn Sterger and Brett apparently had a fling two years ago. A website called Deadspin released photos of Brett Favre that were below the waist shots also some voicemails that were apparently sent from Brett to this reporter.
My First reaction to this was “seriously” I can’t believe another famous athlete is going to be dragged through the mud once again just for some upset women looking to get their 15 minutes of fame. I am so sick of seeing these guys that are incredible athletes getting their careers tarnished because of something they were doing in their private time. Tiger’s extramarital affairs had nothing to do with his ability to swing a golf club and neither does Farves affairs have anything to do with how he throws a football. These guys are alpha males, this means they are superior athletes and as such are chalked full of testosterone. Their natural tendencies are going to tempt them towards cheating. No I don’t mean that what they have done should be excused. I just think that hearing about it on the news is none of our business. What Favre or Tiger or any other athlete does in their personal time is between them and their wives. As for being in the media there is no excuse for it. These guys are not high profile preachers or politicians. They are athletes and they are good at it and if it has nothing to do with performance enhancing drugs keep it off the news. As far as Favre goes I hope that his great football legacy doesn’t get tarnished for this instance. I also hope that the NFL stays the heck out of it.
