When Brett Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991, he probably never imagined the career ahead of him and the adversity that would ensue.

While making his first and least surprising comeback to the NFL as the quarterback for the New York Jets in 2008, Favre allegedly decided to show a female insider of the Jets organization something a little more than she bargained for.

Jenn Sterger was that insider who was, at the time, a Jets game hostess. She claimed that Favre had sent her pictures that were of the waist and lower, and left her displeasing voicemails and text messages.

The world soon tuned in as a seemingly gold-digging female correspondent tried to get her fifteen minutes of fame from the biggest name in the NFL.

Now it seems Sterger has had enough of the limelight, saying, “I just want my life back” this week during an interview on Good Morning America and Nightline.

It seems the scandal hurt her career more than Favre’s, something she probably never expected.

After Favre’s typical toying of the media, he seemed to end his career with the same “aw shucks” persona he had before the news hit about his indecent exposure. He only lost $50,000 through the whole mess, not much for a man who made $16 million last season. On the other hand, Sterger claims that the publicity has not actually helped her make any money at all.

I can believe she didn’t make any money, and she shouldn’t have anyway. But asking for her life back is just ridiculous.

She is half the reason this situation exists. Even if the reports that say she specifically did not release the pictures and texts from Favre are indeed true, there is no need for her to have made comments to the public regarding the matter.

If she just wanted a job or money (she was terminated from her job on Versus Network in November after the allegations), she could have given up months ago with the allegations against Favre, sued Versus for unlawful termination, hired a good lawyer and worst case, settled out of court.

But Sterger dug herself so far into a predicament that she no longer can find a way out other than staying out of the public eye, which she obviously doesn’t see as a solution.

She contradicts almost everything she says. She will say she never wanted any money or publicity, but the next thing you hear from her is that she hasn’t been able to find any work or make any money throughout this process.

Sterger also has made it clear that she loves to entertain the public in the same interview that she claims the publicity is too overwhelming.

It seems to me that appearing on Good Morning America is not the best way to avoid negative publicity; just ask Chris Brown.
