Brett Favre Facing Sexual Harrassment Lawsuit From Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole



And here we all were thinking Favre got off easy for the Jenn Sterger fiasco. According to this ABC News report, two female former NY Jets massage therapists (Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole) have filed suit against the retiring iconic quarterback. Here are some snippets from the report:

In the suit, Scavo alleges that Favre sent text messages to another unidentified massage therapist, asking Scavo and the unidentified woman to "get together" with Favre.

Scavo said that in 2008 while Favre was with the New York Jets, he treated her like a "hanging slab of meat." In the suit she claims he wanted a three-way with her and another therapist.

Favre allegedly texted the unidentified therapist, writing, "Brett here, you and Crissy want to get together, I'm all alone," according to the lawsuit.


Favre allegedly sent another text message reading, "Kinda lonely tonight, I guess I have bad intentions."

Looks like Favre may be just another dirty old man with weak game. Texting sexual advances to female Jets while your a member of the team wasn't the smartest idea. Especially when you're married and your last name is Favre. This just leads me to wonder how many other chicks Favre was hitting on and may come out of the wood works for their 15 minutes of fame (ala Tiger Woods).

Even more interesting that the Jets employ many young women as massage therapists. Probably because football players with enhanced testosterone levels wouldn't be too fond of getting rub on by a man (hell, neither would I).

There's a lot more in the report so click the link and check it out. You can also watch the report on tomorrow morning's edition of Good Morning America (7am E.T.)

Talk about kicking a man while he's down...

Favre To Only Be Fined For Texts To Sterger


Looks like Brett Favre dodges the bullet again. Accoriding to this NY Post report, the NFL will fine Favre for the package pics that he was sending then NY Jets "Gameday Host" Jenn Sterger (pictured above).

Why Sterger didn't report this back when it happened is anyone's guess. Maybe she liked the attention. Who knows. But what we DO know is that Favre won. Sorry Ms. Sterger. Sh*t happens when you mess with the Favre.

Just another story to add to the legend that is Brett Favre, who has apporached Chuck Norris levels in my book.

Jalen Rose on Trash Talk "What Happens On The Court Should Stay There"

Earlier this morning on espn's "First Take", former NBA guard Jalen Rose made a very good point regarding the alleged trash talk between Kevin Garnett & Charlie Villanueva. If you aren't aware, apparently during the Boston Celtics game (or should I say scrimmage) against the Pistons on Tuesday, Villanueva says that Garnett called him a "cancel patient" (see here for the report). Villanueva took to twitter to "expose" KG. Garnett responded that he told Villanueva "he's cancerous to his team". Believe who you will.

Jalen Rose made this point today; basically the NBA court is a sanctuary. Trash talk is a part of the game. What happens on the court should be kept there and not taken to the net or twitter. It's common knowledge that Garnett is a big trash talker on the court and will do anything to psyche out his opponent. He even talks to himself on the court. Whether KG really said it or not only he and Villanueva really know.

Although cancer is a very harsh and touchy subject, in my opinion Villanueva should have handled it on the court and moved on. If Garnett did indeed say it he should apologize and that's a different debate for another day... but Villanueva taking it to the net may not have been the best approach. Neither was KG's response, which actually made him look more guilty than anything.

Overall the point is, settle it on the court and leave it there. Either drop some heavy numbers on KG's head or hit him with an elbow or something (like Anthony Peeler did a few years back). Handle it on the hardwood and move on.

Dwight Howard Suing Baby Mama for Ridiculous Amount



This story has been floating around the net today (I saw it over at tmz.com). Dwight Howard is attempting to sue mother of his child Royce Reed (seen on the "Basketball Wives" reality TV show) for, get this, $500,500,000. That's over $500 MILLION DOLLARS! Looks like the dispute is over leaked information to the media about their relationship together.

Of course Reed's people are claiming that the leaked info isn't covered in their agreement. What did anyone expect her to say? Can you imagine trying to collect that much money from someone over leaked stories? Howard hasn't even accumulated that much money in NBA contracts and endorsements. How does he expect her to come up with that type of dough!?

Good luck with that one, D. Howard!

"Can You See Me Now?"


And so the "Year of "Athletes Being Idiots" continues... As this storythis story on Black Sports Online reported yesterday, a sex tape of New England Patriots rookie linebacker Brandon Spikes leaked yesterday. First off, as the picture up top displays, dude looks a little suspect to me, but that's just my opinion. But nonetheless you would think in today's age of technology, camera phones, youtube and the "devil" that is World Star Hip Hop, athletes and celebrities would learn not to put themselves in a postion to be exploited and publically embarassed as such. It almostseems as if they purposely allow these types of things to happen for the exposure. Hmmm...
