Brett Favre Reportedly Admits to Voice Mails, Not Pictures

Filed under: Vikings, NFL Rumors, NFL Quarterbacks

When Deadspin first reported that Jenn Sterger had said Brett Favre inappropriately propositioned her when they both worked for the Jets, there were supposedly two pieces of evidence that, if they ever surfaced, could spell serious trouble for Favre: suggestive voice mails that Favre left Sterger, and a set of racy photos.

But when Deadspin later published the voice mails and the pictures, there was less to the story than might have been expected. The voice mails contained a voice that sure sounded like Favre asking Sterger to get together, but there was nothing overtly sexual in anything Favre said. And, yes, Deadspin published some racy photos supposedly sent to Sterger, but there was no proof that Favre was involved.

And so it appeared that Favre had a pretty solid alibi: He could admit leaving the voice mails, but say he just wanted to get together with Sterger for a friendly dinner, not for anything untoward. And he could deny sending the photographs.

According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, that's exactly what Favre said in his meeting with NFL security last week: He did leave Sterger voice mails, but he didn't send her inappropriate pictures.

"Favre admitted, from what I'm told, to leaving voice messages on the Jenn Sterger's -- a former Jets employee -- voice mail," Glazer said on FOX's Sunday NFL pregame show. "He denied sending pictures not appropriate to her. Here's the deal. The NFL was hoping to have the entire thing wrapped up this past week. Didn't happen. I know they want this thing wrapped up this coming week. Right now it depends on whether or not Jenn Sterger talks or not. Her manager is saying her silence cannot be bought."

That may very well be enough for Favre to put this whole mess behind him.
