NYDN: Tense meeting between Sterger and Goodell

Why would you kiss her ass? I assume she's making demands that might seem reasonable to her and not so reasonable to the league. The league needs to act as it feels appropriate rather than appease her. If she wants to litigate, let her knock herself out.

 

Goodell is calling her bluff and I'm guessing he's not too worried about her suing the league.

Goodell doesn't want to suspend Favre and likely won't. Favre retires, and if she's lucky, pays her some ducats to STFU and the story goes away forever.

 

Once Favre retires, he would have no incentive to pay her a dime. She already spilled it, what damage is there to fear anymore?

This is really working out for her. She gets no money, her show got canceled and now nobody in the sports media world would dare to employ her. Next thing you know one of her tits is going to pop.

 

Textbook example of how NOT to shake down the NFL. She's done.

 

I feel a little bad for her because it would have been nice to see a douchebag like Favre get what's coming to him.

She played it terribly. She could have gotten a nice chunk of change at one point. I remember reading something (in SI, I think) that speculated that she could have gotten around $3 million in a settlement from Favre if Favre thought he was facing a 3-game suspension that would have cost him $1.25 mil a game plus millions in endorsements once his career is done.

Should have hired Allred.

 

Once Favre's streak ended she lost all of her leverage. And really if the NFL disciplined Favre, how many other women (who may not be media personalities) could come forward and demand similar punishments?

 

The NFL doesn't care if Favre sends pictures of his cock to 100 women as long as none are NFL employees.

 

Yeah, she should have hired Allred, who managed to portray a porn star being a "victim" when she knowingly fucked a married man.

 

Allred may be scum, but she's a hell of a lawyer.

 

Sterger/her attorney played this wrong because they were reacting instead of dictating the timetable. Now maybe she was reluctant to come forward, if that's the case then let's not blame her for her choice.

 

I'm sure Goodell will get right on this, by about Jan. 3 when Favre is retired and the NFL has no jurisdiction over him.

 

What do you think the odds are that somewhere in the world there exists some tape of flat-out hardcore Jenn Sterger action? I mean the stuff you have to download from Outer Pervertistan?

About 85%?

The NFL has a lot of friends and a lot of money and can probably get its hands on such tapes quite easily.

Maybe Goodell just said, "hey sweetie pie, here's $99,500. A nice arbitrary figure. Now why don't you and your little lawyer button up your halter top and get the fuck out of here, or you'll see stuff splattered all over the Twittersphere that will blow up your 'poor innocent sweetheart' image once and for all. Once Favre is retired, we don't give a fuck. Got it?"
