Oh Brett Favre. For those of you who haven’t heard or who have word sensitive narcolepsy when it comes to “football,” Bret Favre, the man, the myth, the legend, has been getting a lot of press lately for admittedly leaving some indecent phone messages (allegedly) texting x-rated photos of himself to former Jets employee, Jenn Sterger. If you’re interested in hearing the messages or seeing the photos (very nsfw / virgin eyes) you should do at your own discretion.

She tweeted about being embarrassed and later admitted to feeling uncomfortable as players sent catcalls her way. So the Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in, an NFL investigation ensued, and the Jets’ owner, Woody Johnson apologized. So what are the issues raised here? What’s all the big hoopla about?

 

Is this acceptable behavior towards any journalist, let alone a female?

Last weekend, after a night of celebrating with fellow teammates, NY Jets player Braylon Edwards, got behind the wheel of his car as his two teammates piled into the back. Shortly after, Edwards was pulled over and blew a 0.16, twice the legal limit. He was arrested and charged with a DWI and faced a first-quarter suspension in his game tonight against Miami. In addition to this, Edwards is currently on probation stemming from a bar fight last year. However, since that case won’t be explored until the DWI charges are taken care of, it seems that, for now, Edwards is free to play.
