Jenn Sterger Update: Favre Questionable, Sterger Cancelled
With Brett Favre's "Iron Man" streak on the brink of ending, Jenn Sterger's brief stint on 'The Daily Line' has been cancelled. Sterger, who has yet to interview with the NFL continues to hint that she will cooperate with the NFL's investigation. It is unclear as to why it is taking Sterger so long to cooperate with the NFL. Reports have surfaced about a potential third party who was responsible for passing Sterger's telephone number along to Favre. According to Sterger's manager, the third party knows exactly what happened, wants to help Sterger, but has retained legal counsel and is not sure whether or not to become involved. If the third party is still an employee of the NFL or the New York Jets, they may very well be afraid to come out and run the risk of poisoning the waters for their career.
On the other hand, reports have come out regarding a potential for extortion on Sterger's part. By allowing this to string along and continuously throwing out threats of cooperation with the NFL, Sterger may be making a push for a payout from Favre. Sterger has to make sure she keep quiet. Favre's side is allowed to make an offer of settlement to put the incident behind them, but Sterger is not allowed to make a threat if she doesn't receive payment.
As time passes by and the potential for Favre's magical "Iron Man" streak and career in limbo, both the NFL and Sterger need to move quickly if they have any intentions for taking action against Favre. Then again, it would be sad to see an unprecedented streak ended due to an off the field incident that barred Brett from a game.
