Deanna Favre was on Good Morning America this morning to talk about her new book and addressed allegations that her husband Brett Favre sent sext messages to former Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger.
When asked about her husband’s sext messages, Deanna said, “Faith has gotten me through many difficult struggles, and it will get me through this one.” Deanna even recited a passage from the Bible, “We were talking earlier about a verse I have on my fridge — Isaiah 41:9-13 actually is on my fridge right now. ‘Don’t be afraid. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand,’ and that’s what I’m leaning on.”
Brett Favre met with NFL officials on Tuesday, but Deanna did not say if the allegations were true or false.
Deanna’s new book is titled: “The Cure for the Chronic Life: Overcoming the Hopelessness That Holds You Back” and was co-written with her pastor.
Deanna has been married to Brett Favre since 1998, but the pair first dated in high school. In 2004, Deanna was diagnosed with breast cancer and her brother died all in the same week. Deanna has also stood by Brett Favre during his two separate stints in rehab.
The NFL has announced it will now be suspending players for hits to the head. While this is to protect the safety of the players, many believe the league is being hypocritical because for years the NFL has celebrated hard hits. Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison was fined $75,000 for his concussion hitting hits against the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday.
Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was suspended for one game after he was arrested early this morning for public intoxication. Police arrested McAfee for swimming in a canal in the Indianapolis club district. McAfee who is 23 and played football at West Virgina had a blood alcohol level of 0.15.
