NFL Investigates As More Women Accuse Favre Of Dirty Texts

10910favre.jpg Brett Favre may have his "hands full with the Jets" this Monday night, but the allegations that he sent racy text and picture messages to model and former Jets in-house sideline reporter Jenn Sterger are not going away. The NFL said on Friday that it is investigating the allegations about Favre's cocky behavior. And now two more women have come forward with allegations against Favre.

Deadspin reports that Favre allegedly propositioned two Jets massage therapists, also via text message. Favre supposedly sent a series of texts to one of the women, who he had exchanged numbers with, which escalated in their inappropriateness ("just nasty stuff"). Favre didn't know that one of the women was married, and apologized to her over text; but the woman's husband was unsatsifed, and called Favre for a direct apology, which he refused to give. The couple considered suing for harrassment initially, but didn't pursue it; now they've come forward after the Sterger story came out, and are going to talk to the NFL (also, the women saved some of the texts, so you can expect those sometime next week).

Deadspin broke the Sterger story in August, but only posted clips of the messages this week, which they had to pay a hefty amount for: "more than we ever have, let's put it like that," editor AJ Daulerio told Business Insider. Favre isn't the only one under the microscope now: Sterger is the subject of a profile in the Post today, who suggest she "lives for the spotlight." It all must be very unfortunate timing for Favre: the quarterback turns 41 on Sunday.

    Wow, with that small dick in the video, it's no wonder Cameron Diaz picked Ben Stiller over him in There's Something About Mary.

    The millions in his wallet makes it look bigger.
