My answer. No. In fact, I think it should be brought to more attention. In what might be a shock to some people, I think ESPN is doing a horrible job talking about this. Now, I know people are going to say that it's just a rumor and what not, but lets think about what else has been rumors and why I feel this story needs to be talked about more.
1) If it is Favre, it is sexual harassment. From what I've read it sounds like there was no previous 'activities' between Favre and Sterger. From the voicemails and Internet rumors it sounds like a more desperate move by Favre in attempt to pork a younger hot chick. Not only that, but think about if any one of us did this to her. It would be a huge story about Sterger's safety and how sick of a person we are. Not only that, but she'd be making the morning show rounds explaining how petrifying it is.
2) Granted it's more rumors, but I'll run with it. The Sterger incident isn't the first incident Favre had with someone within the Jets organization. The story I've read is there was a massage therapist Favre made a pass to, only to find out she was married and apologized to her for her being married.
3) People are coming to defend Favre right away. Think about a couple months and years ago when it was Big Ben, Kobe and Tiger. Now, I'm not defending them here but people wanted their heads on a silver platter. Steelers fans talked about how Big Ben should be traded to Oakland and shunned to the world. 'Humanitarians' called for Tiger to quit golf and become a family man. And Kobe, oh Kobe, there was a death warrant for him. Why does Favre get a pass? Because people portray him as the happy go lucky guy from the Wrangler's commercial? Or the fact they remember his game for his father against Oakland and assume he couldn't have possibly sent dick pics in his crocs to Sterger. The fact of the matter is Favre is a guy. Just like any other guy his mind was entranced by his dick. He wanted to bang Sterger, so he made a play. It ultimately backfiled, but he attempted.
4)Somehow Sterger has turned out to be the victim in this case. Everyone is bringing up the fact she posed naked or was a 'slut.' That doesn't matter, if the rumors hold true. Does anyone hold anything against Chelsea Handler for not caring about a sex tape? What about Greg Oden for his dong pictures being leaked? Yet, somehow everyone went against Sterger and said how could she do this to Favre's family? What about everyone else's family? No one cared about how Tiger's mom felt or Kobe's dad? Why should I care about how Favre's wifes and daughter feel about Brett 'firing that pigskin' at Sterger?
That's my little rant about this whole situation. I love ESPN, but I feel their holding this case a little too close to the heart and refusing to even talk about it. I give credit to Deadspin and Barstool Sports for actually discussing it and taking major heat for it, Deadspin especially.
So, what do you think? Favre trying to rail Sterger overblown coverage? Or not enough?

I have nothing against the premise of this article, or even the writer himself. In fact, I may even agree with Mr. Reagan's opinion.
With that said, the overall quality of writing is just horrific. The entire post is confused, muddled, and incoherent. It's structure barely makes sense and it is honestly impossible to read. Hopefully the next piece will be much better.
This really is garbage. The point trying to be made here is pretty respectable, but this article is poop water. Bobby Reagan, pick up the pace.
