I'm curious what the blogosphere is saying about Brett Favre's revelations that have surfaced over the course of a week. Media outlets are reporting that Favre sent suggestive photos to Jenn Sterger, then a New York Jets sideline reporter when Favre was the quarterback in 2008. The NFL is deciphering through evidence as a suspension looms given Sterger's employment status in the league. We have seen male athletes send provocative photos of themselves to girlfriends, mistresses, friends, whomever. It happens.
What I find fascinating is the parallel to Tiger Woods. We have a public figure with a monster ego that collects copious amounts of money and perhaps feels a sense of entitlement to do whatever ceases to amaze them. I think it's entirely possible we'll witness a "Woods effect" in which more and more information is leaked regarding Favre and encounters. I have no proof of such a happening, but the scenario reeks of fraud and transgressions. What's more, while Woods was in treatment in Mississippi, his ex-wife, Elin, stayed with Deanna Favre. Reports have indicated that she stayed there because Deanna dealt with Brett's alcohol addiction in the past and could bring closure. Who is to say that addiction stopped at the bottle? This could be Favre's car crash.
