When Brett Favre was fined $50,000 by the NFL, I’d hoped this story would be gone.  I am ready and willing to move on from this whole event, but things just keep getting worse and worse for Favre and his former employers the New York Jets.  When the allegations were made by Jenn Sterger, two Jets masseuses spoke up to say that they’d also received improper texts from Favre.  These two women, Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole, are now suing Favre and the Jets for sexual harassment to get their justice.

To make matters worse, the NFL’s light penalty actually has the originator of this whole case, Jenn Sterger, ready to go back to court, too.  Scavo and O’Toole cooperated fully with the NFL investigation, and also have a good case for sexual harassment lawsuit as, after going to their boss Lisa Ripi with the allegations, they were summarily dismissed from their massage therapist duties with the Jets.  (Ripi is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.)

If I was Brett Favre, I’d just open the check book.  At this point, I’m willing to take up a collection to pay these women off just so they’ll stop coming forward to get money or redemption or whatever it is they want from Favre and the Jets three years after the incidents happened.  I know that sexual harassment is a terrible thing, and getting fired after reporting sexual harassment is even worse, but I just want all this crap to go away.

I’m tired of hearing about Brett Favre trying to get his New York freak on, and I know I’m not alone.  I just want this all to either go away or stop being newsworthy.  (And yes, I know I’m adding to the problem by writing about it, but this will be the last time I do until something crazy happens.)

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
