Sports Business Journal broke the news that Versus will not be renewing its contract with Jenn Sterger and have decided to cancel Sterger’s show “The Daily Line.” Versus execs are worried they will be blamed for wrongful termination adding more fuel to the Brett Favre sexual harassment fire. However, according to The Sports Business Journal, Versus decided months ago not to renew Sterger’s contract, but she only found out recently.
Throughout the Favre scandal, Sterger did not talk about it on “The Daily Line.” The cancellation of the show is due to poor ratings, which begs the question: don’t all shows on Versus get bad ratings?
There are new developments in the Brett Favre sexting saga…. the NY Post is reporting that a friend of Jenn Sterger says the former NY Jets sideline reporter did in fact corresponded with Favre. Deadspin.com released voicemails and sext messages Favre sent to Sterger, but up until this time it was unclear if Sterger ever responded.
The friend, Allison Torres says she was with Sterger when Favre sent the nude photos and that Sterger would often text Favre. Torres does not know if Sterger had a sexual relationship with Favre but did tell the NY Post:
“I just know they kept texting each other back and forth and that he wanted to hook up. I wouldn’t doubt she was enjoying the attention from him.”
Torres also said that Favre would try and get Sterger to come over to his hotel while his family lived in Morristown, NJ. Sterger is currently a sports personality on Versus, and her and Torres have not spoken in a few months.
Saturday Night Live spoofed the Brett Favre Jenn Sterger controversy. On Tuesday, league officials met with Favre to investigate on whether or not he sent sext messages to the former NY Jets sideline reporter. Now, reports are coming out that Favre admitted to leaving Sterger voicemails but adamantly denies sending Sterger any picture messages. The NFL hopes to wrap up the investigation within the week.
The Brett Favre saga continues…. the NY Post is reporting that Brett Favre contacted Jenn Sterger last summer when he was in New York. Favre was in town to appear on “Joe Buck Live” on HBO.
At that time, Favre had not signed with the Minnesota Vikings and Sterger was not employed by the Jets, when the veteran quarterback called her.
“The same number that was used to send the messages in 2008 is the same one used to call Jenn in 2009.”
The NFL’s investigation on the Brett Favre sext messages remains at a standstill. Officials met with Brett Favre this past Tuesday, but Sterger will not cooperate with NFL officials. Sterger is allegedly trying to work out a settlement with Favre. A source close to the story said:
“The Settlement would include a confidentially agreement between the two that would effectively stop the NFL, which does not have subpoena power, from speaking with Sterger about Favre.”
