Deadspin posts the Favre pics. Ugh.

    So zag, because Sterger wore a boobalicious shirt at a football game, she can't say she doesn't want to get pics of Favre's dong? I don't follow the logic of having it "both ways."

    Even if Sterger were a stripper (which she is not) there are still things a stripper does not have to put up with. Seeking attention for your sexuality does not forever waive your right to not get sexually harassed. Would you agree?

    Here's what I never understand. Of all the athletes outed/caught/scandalized by Deadspin and sites of its ilk, how come none never come out swinging, suggesting they will sue?

    Because if I'm not mistaken, wouldn't Favre have a huge case right now, at this moment, if he is 100 per cent innocent?

    You saw the pictures, right? ;D ;D ;D

    On a serious note, I never thought I'd defend the Florida State Cowgirl, but she really didn't do a whole lot to bring this on. She didn't leak the pictures, she never went on the record and most importantly she didn't ask for photos of the never-ending drama queen's dick.
    I'll be dissapointed if she doesn't cooperate. This is a serious matter and every time a woman cowers away from issues like this, it seems to make it a little easier for it to happen again.

    Oh, you sure as hell can have it both ways, and that's exactly why she should tell her side of the story.

    Doesn't matter how she got discovered or whether you could house a small child in her cleavage. She was an employee of the Jets, who hired her specifically for that reason, and she has the right to go to work without receiving penis pictures from the quarterback (or any other employee).

    Unless you have evidence that she contacted Favre and asked for pics, or engaged in some sort of relationship that we don't know about, she has ZERO blame in this.

    That's not what I said or meant.

    You can't use your sexuality to get ahead and then object when people are treating you like a sexual object.

    And if she didn't leak the photos - how did they get out? Had she deleted them, they'd have never gotten out.

    This is my theory, which could totally be wrong: Sterger either gave the photos/voicemails to Deadspin or knows exactly who did. If she trusts Delaurio enough to tell him what happened off-the-record, I just don't believe he goes with this information without some kind of discreet confirmation from her.

    The fact he is saying she didn't do it is immaterial to me. About a year ago, I wrote a blog about a player that contained several anonymous quotes. Some were positive, more were negative. The primary source told everyone he was the guy. I had players, pr guys even a GM coming up to me saying, "I know xxx told you." I wouldn't admit it. They knew I was lying. I just said, "Wouldn't you like to know I could keep your secret under pressure?"

    I really believe this is happening here. Delaurio won't give her up. And I believe it even more, because Sterger, who will do ANYTHING for attention, has gone into double-secret probation.

    Now, that doesn't excuse what happened to Sterger. But, this story is such a gong show, it's too much, even for her. I could see her saying, "I just don't want any more of this," and refusing to talk to Goodell.

    1. So because Heidi Klum got famous posing in a bikini, often in the SI Swimsuit , she can't really object if Rick Reilly sends her a picture of his dong? After all, she used her sexuality to get ahead. Wasn't she asking for it?

    2. Could have easily been a team phone. Favre has proven he's dumb enough to use a team phone in the past for his personal calls.

    Prevailing theory is that she showed the pics to someone related to the Jets, who flipped them to Deadspin in honor of Favre's return to NY. No clue if that's remotely accurate. No doubt the league would like to know as well.

    As for being treated like a sexual object: This story would be merely salacious if it was about a few phone calls or texts asking her to hang out at the hotel. But when the quarterback of the New York Jets is sending naked pictures to an employee of the team, that is very, very, serious. Regardless of what you think of the recipient.

    I didn't say that.

    Try to follow along.

    I said you can't use your sexuality and your, um, assets, to get ahead and then whine when you are treated as a sexual object by others who don't take your other, um, talents, seriously.

    That doesn't make what Brett Favre did right, it doesn't excuse it, either, but it does make me have a helluva lot less sympathy for this chick.

    Once again, I've not said one time it isn't a serious matter on Brett Favre's end. He should be in trouble for this.

    If I'm Dauliero, it's not Jets fans I'd worry about murdering me. As you said: A trillion dollar enterprise churns on.

    The enterprise churns on regardless.

    Anyone else seeing some interesting convenience in Favre's hurting elbow?
