    I really thought it sounded like someone doing a bad Favre impersonation rather than Brett himself on those voicemails. I wouldn't put money on it, though.

    Wouldn't he have vehemently denied these allegations by now if this theory is true?

Unless Favre is being accused of harassment and/or sexual assault of some kind, which has not been alleged in any capacity that I'm aware of, this isn't news and it most certainly shouldn't be any basis for investigation by the NFL. The league and everyone else needs to keep their noses out of where it doesn't belong.

    Sexual habits of athletes should be off-limits. We don't really have the right to know what they do behind closed doors.

    I don't care if Favre talks dirty, Grady Sizemore sends nude sexting pics to his girlfriend or Tiger Woods makes porn tapes. That's between them, their partners, and if applicable, their spouses.

    I would guess sending pictures of your "self" to someone could be construed as sexual harassment. I don't see how that would be any different than exposing yourself to someone in person.

    Assuming it were completely unprovoked, I don't disagree. But we're missing a lot of context with that, and it's not been mentioned whether there was previous dialog.

    Do you feel the same way about politicians?

    I actually do, though I think elected representatives of the people and athletes are two separate things. The politicians represent us. Athletes don't owe us anything.

    But while I don't condone marital infidelity, it's unfortunately rampant in our society. And though I do hold the ideal that elected officials should uphold strict moral standards, I put them in office for many other reasons than their sexual habits.

    I actually agree with you, but this is where many would play the "think of the children" card as far as athletes being role models...

    In and of itself, it's not. Did she ask him not to? Does he have a position of power over her? Absent these things, I don't think it is harrassment. She can block his number to her cellphone is she wants.

    If he'd retired like he should have, would you still think it was harrassment?

    The Deadspin editor on the story says it's possible that whoever sent the texts and voice mails may not have been Favre.

    Whether this story is true or not, Bretty Favre has been, and always will be, a dirtbag.

    Then again, that's the case for 99% of professional athletes. They have a sense of entitlement that most normal people just simply don't have.

    You've clearly never visited the local shopping malls.

    I'm not a Favre fan because of the way he's handled this retirement/non-retirement issue but aside from this, what has he done to be a dirtbag? Unlike many of his brethren - and many of the Bengals - he's never been arrested. He plays hard and plays every game. He's a Super Bowl champion and he's personable enough.

    I think that is the problem Chip.

    Fans like players who give canned responses and "say the right thing."

    Favre says what he thinks and gets burned for it later when he changes his mind.
    This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.

    And just because of that he's scum? It's quite possible he's sincere. After a season of getting banged up he may want to retire. Then, when the summer comes along, he's healed up and misses his teammates and the spotlight and wants to come back.
