Brett Favre and his old team, the New York Jets, got slapped with two additional lawsuits of sexual harassment. This time the lawsuits came from two team massage therapists, who claimed that Brett the Jet sent them sexually harassing text messages and voicemails. At least we now know why Brett was contemplating retirement these past few seasons - he knew it was only a matter of time before all this information leaked out.
The problem is that Brett would not have been sexting women at 40 something years old, like Tiger Woods, if these type of lines did not work for him in the past. Unfortunately for Brett, the women in the New York City metropolitan area must not dig his Wrangler jeans the way the women in Green Bay, Wisconsin did.
But, in all seriousness, an athlete of Favre's stature could not have ended his career in a worse way - on the sidelines with the discussion revolving around his racy text messages rather than his play on the gridiron. He not only lost his consecutive games played streak, but he also lost his squeaky clean image. If only he could have gone out on a high note like John Elway instead of trying to hang on too long because he couldn't step away from the game.
The only positive from all this drama is that Brett will actually ride off into the sunset and we no longer have to listen to the "will he or won't he retire" talk on ESPN. Given ESPN's love affair with Favre, we fortunately won't have to hear much about his sexual harassment scandal either.
