In the upcoming Netflix documentary Untold: The Fall of Favre, former New York Jets gameday host Jenn Sterger is breaking her silence once again. Nearly 15 years after the NFL sexting scandal involving Brett Favre made headlines, Sterger is revisiting the emotional toll it took on her life and career, saying the former quarterback “ultimately destroyed” everything she had built.
The documentary, set to chronicle the off-field controversies surrounding the Hall-of-Fame quarterback, promises to revisit the deeply unsettling accusations that first emerged in a 2010 Deadspin exposé.

At the time, Sterger claimed that Favre, who was married and playing for the Jets, began contacting her with unsolicited voicemails and lewd photos – including explicit images of himself masturbating.
“Brett Favre ultimately destroyed my life,” Sterger declares in the trailer for Untold: The Fall of Favre, which will detail how the NFL star allegedly harassed her during their brief professional association.
Revisiting a scandal the NFL never fully addressed
Sterger, who was working as the Jets‘ in-stadium host during the 2008 season, explains in the documentary how it all began.
“I was at a game, and someone said Brett Favre wanted your phone number and I just kept saying no,” she said. “I started getting text messages, and then I started getting voicemails when I was like, ‘Oh, I’m in serious trouble here.'”
The NFL launched an investigation in 2010 after Sterger turned over months’ worth of voicemails and text messages. Favre eventually admitted to sending the voicemails, but not the graphic images. The league fined him $50,000-not for misconduct, but for failing to cooperate with the investigation.
At the time, Sterger faced public scrutiny and victim-blaming, while Favre‘s image remained largely untarnished within the NFL’s public sphere. She referred to the quarterback as a “creepy douche” during early reports and struggled for years afterward to reclaim her personal and professional life.
Sterger‘s participation in the Netflix documentary signals a renewed effort to set the record straight and shed light on how the scandal affected her behind the scenes. The series also explores Favre‘s broader off-the-field controversies, including his alleged involvement in the misappropriation of Mississippi welfare funds-another scandal that has reignited public scrutiny of his legacy.
“People don’t want most of that stuff to come out,” one interviewee says in the trailer. “People want their heroes.”

Stěžoval si na Procházkovo chování. Není šance, aby šel s Pereirou, říká konkurent české hvězdy
Tohle téma by se zřejmě vůbec neřešilo, kdyby se Procházka s Ulbergem skutečně utkali. Zápas byl údajně dohodnutý, nicméně druhý jmenovaný nakonec kvůli zdravotním problémům odstoupil, a Procházka tak musel hledat náhradního soupeře. Situace však nabrala nečekaný obrat. Ulberg se krátce nato „zázračně“ uzdravil a v Austrálii přece jen nastoupil, ovšem proti jinému protivníkovi.„Nebylo to tak, jak Jiří tvrdil, že jsem se mu chtěl vyhnout nebo že jsem odmítl souboj,“ uvedl Ulberg v rozhovoru s novinářem Arielem Helwanim. „Byl jsem zraněný a nečekal jsem, že mu to UFC vůbec oznámí. Chtěl jsem náš zápas pouze přesunout na listopad, abych měl dostatek času na rekonvalescenci. Jenže Jiří chtěl bojovat dřív, aby byl připraven na titulový duel mezi Ankalajevem a Pereirou,“ dodal aktuální třetí muž žebříčku polotěžké váhy.Ulberg si to nakonec v Perthu rozdal s Američanem Dominickem Reyesem, kterého knokautoval už v prvním kole. Jak ale sám přiznává, zápas pro něj představoval […]

What’s up with the NFL’s Premature Touchdown Celebration Problem?
It is perplexing to see NFL players commit the same mistake repeatedly when there are numerous highlights documenting the miscue for the football world to see. That is why I am baffled by two examples of recent players dropping the ball before crossing the goal line, especially when seeing it cost their teams points and wins by attempting to showboat on a potential touchdown, as Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and Cardinals running back Emari Demercado have already done this season.As a former NFL player who loved celebrating big plays as a youth, high school and collegiate player, I understand the adrenaline rush of crossing the goal line and the cultural reaction to cool celebratory acts that follow a score.After watching Billy "White Shoes" Johnson perform the "funky chicken" as his touchdown celebration in the 1970s, I could not wait to […]
