Brett Favre Sex Scandal? Vikings Screwed?

Is there really a sex scandal involving Brett Favre that could ultimately force the Vikings quarterback to retire prior to the start of this upcoming season?

Check this out and decide:

The folks at Deadspin report that Jenn Sterger, who worked in 2008 as an in-house sideline reporter for the Jets and who currently is a member of the cast of The Daily Line on Versus, claims that she received text messages from a certain Brett Lorenzo Favre featuring pictures of, um, Little Lorenzo.

It's not the first time we've heard a story like this, thanks to Sean Salisbury. But Salisbury was largely irrelevant at the time. As to Favre, this disclosure possibly could influence his decision regarding whether or not he'll play in 2010.

Though there's no evidence that Favre was engaged in the kind of sordid escapades that brought down Tiger Woods' marriage, forced him to cough up $750 million to his ex-wife, and wreaked enough havoc on his life to render him a near-mortal on the golf course, Woods' misadventures began with a story in the National Enquirer, which was the catalyst for the Thanksgiving night 9-iron to the Escalade, which got the whole thing rolling.

In this case, Favre will surely deny texting improper pictures to a former coworker, just as he has denied texting his intentions to retire to current coworkers. Heck, there's a chance that no one in the media will be able to muster the nerve to even ask him about these new claims.

The rumors may have something to do with why Sportsbetting.com temporarily removed its odds on which team will win the NFC North.

Favre had indicated this week that he will only play in Minnesota if healthy but the regular season is just weeks away and there is much uncertainty over the quarterback situation there.
