OT: Jets/Favre hit by lawsuit alleging sexual harrassment

[Patspsycho]

GMA Exclusive: Brett Favre Sued For Sexual Harassment By Former Jets' Massage Therapists - ABC News

Talk about perfect timing. Leading up to their showdown with the Colts.

I've already predicted the Jets one and out, and this is just making it too easy.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Wow, first kneegate, then this. But the rumors had already been going around that the Jets were doing inappropiate things to women, like that one female reporter who had to endure lewd sexual remarks from the players while she was conducting an interview. Brett asking for a three-way with massage therapists and the Jets acting as enablers? Sheesh. Now that's going way too far. Will this finally force Goodell's hand to punish his favorite team? I doubt it. But one can hope.

 

[Bella*chick]

Wow, he sounds like a real charmer.

Yet some people here assumed Sterger was a "skank" who probably was looking for his money. That looks a little less likely now.

On another note, OP.....the quote in your siggie from Branch....what interview is that from?

 

[DefenseRules]

WOW! That is just bad.

Sorry if I annoy you all. Just trying to categorize all of the Jets humiliations for my own knowledge.

-Releasing model players like Thomas Jones and Leon Washington

-Signing LT (enough said) and the Dancing with the Stars runner-up

-Signed the biggest thugs in the NFL, in Holmes and Edwards.

-The Hard Knocks humiliation for vulgarity... which led to the Danny Woodhead coup of 2010.

-The Revis Holdout- a real heartwarming tale for kids

-The Ines Sanz humiliation

-The Brayon Edwards DUI (but hey, he was benched for one play.)

-The Brett Favre -Jenn Sterger fiasco

-45-3

-Trip-Gate

-Alosi fired

-Westhoff opens mouth about Pats and gets franchise 100K fine

-Rex's foot fetish story breaks

-Rex's foot fetish story breaks, this time involving a welcomed ****hold

-Rex claims they'll win it all as they limp into the slaughterhouse in Indy.

-Two former employees sue Jets, claiming it's a meat-factory in the message room.

did i miss one?

Wow, what a franchise!!!! Classy! I'm so ashamed that one your rats pointed out that we taped some signals, while we're still throttling you on the field, and off the field.

The Jets and Brett Favre seem to be the gift that keeps on giving for Schadenfreudians... opcorn:

I'm not trying to make light of this...if that's true...boy, what low-class sleazebag this guy is...and note to ESPN: Maybe consider this next time you run your standard Favre ballwashing montage complete with sappy music for the zillionth time.

But... you can't make this stuff up. Really.

and what a complete zoo the Jests organization is...

Zoo.... that's a pretty appropriate moniker there. I have hated the Jets forever. This just makes my hatred so much more heart-warming to my soul.

Man, Favre was desperate and lonely. If only Rex was there at the time, he could have offered him his wife.

The story reminds me a little bit of Peyton Manning squatting on the trainer's face and teabagging her, then laughing about it. It was swept under the rug pretty quickly. if Peyton got away with it, then why shouldn't Favre get away with it?

I love how money grabbing jerk offs come out of the woodwork at the most opportune times.

 

[Gunnails]

Aliosi is suspended not fired. Suspended till the end of the playoffs.

 

[TrueBeliever]

I'm trying to keep an open mind, but come on. Filing a lawsuit like this takes some nerve because you know the other side's lawyers are going to drag you through the mud and find every bit of dirt from your past they can.

I.E. if they're willing to go that far with it, I'm a little more inclined to believe the accusers.

 

[Tunescribe]

Aliosi is suspended not fired. Suspended till the end of the playoffs.

Then later it was revised and he was suspended indefinitely.

Honestly, Gunnails, why don't you just dump that slimy, scummy team and switch allegiance to the Pats or someone else?

 

[dex13]

I'm thinking that Jets fans need to have their kids follow the example a few classier teams, like the Bengles or the Raiders. :ugh:

seriously though, wtf, do they still think its the 80s over there in NY?

Message from Goodell regarding this incident:

Dear NFL fans and members of the media,

It has come to our attention that a series of lawsuits has been filed against the New York Jets organization alleging misconduct by the Jets in their handling of complaints by two massage therapists to one Brett Favre in 2008. This situation is very unfortunate and, in the NFL, we take these kinds of allegations seriously. We will use as much care as possible while we meticulously investigate this very serious matter.

While it is not in my character to address issues before they have been officially resolved, the seriousness of the charges warrants some comment. The New York Jets have weathered many storms this year, and done so with the utmost professionalism. Those of you who follow the league closely know that the NFL has already investigated and cleared Brett Favre and the New York Jets of any wrongdoing against one Jenn Sterger. I feel confident that the same principles and process used to find Favre and the Jets innocent will once again exonerate these two oft maligned parties.

I am aware that some of you believe that I am not acting with complete impartiality in my handling of these situations. It is true that I was once an employee of the Jets and that my family retains season tickets. While I may have true Jet spirit, I will not let that interfere in my handling of these skanks that look to besmirch the good names of Brett Favre and the New York Jets. When one looks at the situation dispassionately, one will note that the Favre and the Jets are studs, and studs like to **** hot chicks. So here comes Jenn Sterger, boobs hanging out, looking hot and Favre is supposed to just not send her pictures of his wang? Come on! Then these two therapists, again chicks that look pretty good (not 10 out of 10, but firmly in the doable range), are massaging Brett's loins and all he did was ask for a happy ending. Is that so bad? Don't you have a penis? And the Jets are supposed to come down on him for this? No, it's far better that they fire these sluts and get some girls in there that are into that sort of thing, or will at least shut the hell up and stop causing the Jets so much grief.

In short, I promise you that the league will examine the evidence and make an appropriate ruling.

Thank you for your concern and enjoy the playoffs,

Roger Goodell
NFL Commissioner

Fireman Ed fighting with Giants fans.

Woody Johnson cheating on his property taxes by claming its farm land there by cheating the county out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Architectural firm that designed that new dumpy stadium said the Giants were nothing but professionals to work with and the Jets were self important D bags.

That would be like you dumping your bird and getting a dog, aint going to happen.

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Hating the Jets is like someone driving you blindfolded to a mansion and telling you it's yours and then you look in the garage and there's a Lamborghini, and you open the trunk and its filled with gold bars, and under the gold bars is a list of phone numbers to supermodels and celebrities interested in hooking up with you for some "no strings" fun, and... Well you get the picture.

The gift that keeps on giving... :rocker:

Are you serious? They have an email from the woman who hired them and acknowledged that it happened.
