And that matters...why exactly? There are multiple possible reasons why she didn't mention this, including the fact that defaming the almighty Favre could possibly ruin her career. The reaction of the league should make the obvious...she's sexually harassed for a year and Favre gets a slap on the wrist. It's still a good ol' boys league.
Favre is currently hurt, the Vikings only have one game left, and Brett won't be trying to play next year, so why care that he wasn't suspended by the NFL when a suspension wouldn't effect him anyways?
Because the investigation finished in about week 6. They punished him in week 17.
They dragged it on with more bull for a while but the verdict could have been reached a few weeks after it started. They kept saying "a decision is coming soon." OK, that makes sense if you're still gathering evidence and going, "OK, exhibit A says this, exhibit B says this." That wasn't the case here. They couldn't get permission or foolproof evidence that he sent his dong. Brett didn't play along with the process. If he was really obstructing the process, they could have figured that out about 2 weeks into it.
Hey, i'm no Brett Favre fanboy like somehow still exists among a small segment of socalled Packer fans. That said, even if Goodell did drag his feet on purpose to avoid having to suspend Brett, it's simply hard for me to be all angry about it when Brett continuing to play for Minnesota did nothing except make the Vikings worse on the field and in the locker room.
If instead Favre had been playing great this year and the Vikings were potentially going to knock the Packers out of the chance to make the playoffs, then i'd be irritated that the actions of Goodell negatively impacted the Packers. That isn't the case though, so whether Favre only got a 50,000 dollar fine vs say a one-two game suspension which would have cost Brett more cash isn't something i really give a crap about. Favre was already filthy rich and would still be even more filthy rich regardless if he
"only" made 18 or 19 million this year because of a suspension instead of the 20 million he will end up making.
Plus, it's not like Favre really got away with this deal with Sterger, regardless if he never got suspended by the NFL.
He became the butt of a million jokes
His far from huge pecker was exposed for all to see
SNL did a hilarious skit about him
His legacy was further damaged big time
His not cooperating helped drag this out and keep the story in the media longer
His kids likely were hurt by this and being a father of a daughter myself, that in turn would bother me a lot that i was the cause of them being hurt by my silly actions, much more than any football suspension would.
I'm sure Deanna was thrilled as this story came out. Made even worse that it came out during the time she was scheduled to go promote her book about surviving cancer.
Brett may have not been suspended by the NFL, but it sure seems to me that he paid a plenty hefty price for doing what he did.
