Brett Favre Tried to Call Jenn Sterger in 2009, Says Manager

Filed under: ,

The New York Post reported Saturday that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre contacted former New York Jets game hostess Jenn Sterger in June 2009, nearly one year after he allegedly sent her the inappropriate text messages that have dominated the NFL season.

The report was confirmed by Favre's business manager, Phil Reese, who told The Associated Press that the quarterback did indeed try to call Sterger. Reese declined comment when asked if there were multiple calls, but said Sterger did not answer the phone.

According to the Post's source, Favre was in New York to appear on "Joe Buck Live" and was not yet a member of the Vikings when he attempted to contact her, while Sterger was no longer employed by the Jets. Said the source: "The same number that was used to send the messages in 2008 is the same one used to call Jenn in 2009, when Favre was in New York to film [the HBO show] 'Joe Buck Live.'"

Sterger has yet to speak with the NFL about the situation, and according to Jeremy Fowler of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, will not do so if her and Favre reach a financial settlement.
