Joseph Conway, Jennifer's attorney, told us earlier today after Jay Glazer announced the NFL would fine, not suspend Favre, "I cannot comment until I see the NFL decision."
He's seen the NFL's decision. And he's responded:

My client and I are extremely disappointed, but not surprised, at today’s NFL announcement that Brett Favre did not violate the NFL “workplace conduct” policy. While I am not privy to how [NFL Commissioner] Mr. [Roger] Goodell reached such a finding, we strongly disagree with his conclusion that there was insufficient evidence to support a violation of the policy. To the contrary, our evidence and the personal testimony of Ms. Sterger clearly showed a pattern of lewd and offensive behavior by Mr. Favre that lasted all of the 2008 season. As noted in the NFL’s release, “there was no evidence to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct.” In addition to the offensive messages, there was ample evidence to show that the sexually explicit photographs were part of Favre’s inappropriate behavior. Our evidence clearly showed that the photos were sent by Favre.
Likewise, Mr. Goodell completely failed to address the complicity of the New York Jet organization in Favre’s conduct. The evidence was explicit that Ms. Sterger’s personal telephone numbers were provided to Favre by still-current employees of the New York Jets. This was done without Ms. Sterger’s knowledge and consent.
Furthermore, the fact that the League took the step of fining Favre for “not being candid in several respects during the investigation” is disturbing in the message it sends. It clearly shows that an NFL star player was given preferential treatment and tells all other players that failure to cooperate may cost you some money but will not result in other punishment. Additionally, today’s decision is an affront to all females and shows once again that, despite tough talk, the NFL remains the good old boys’ league.

Tons of questions left unanswered by today's NFL statement on the Sterger / Favre case. Bob's Blitz has one:
Aaron Degerness. What's the deal with Jets employee Aaron Degerness?
Greg Aiello, Senior Vice President of Public Relations for the NFL, did not return a tweet on Degerness. Former federal prosecutor Fred Tecce? He had a strong opinion on the whole matter.

To Mr. Reese and Mr. Conway:
Just 2 things to say:
1) Your client's only misfortune is that the wackadoodle staring at her & Roger was not a Black man's pride and joy, not fitting in the screen viewer and all that jazz.
2) Quit being silly, it's always about the money, always. Look at your client. Her 15 mins are winding down fast and nothing to show for it. Geessh.
3) OK, I lied. Is it possible for your client to go away, far, far away.
June has one point correct. If this had been a nobody or a black dude - they would have been out on their asses. Can you imagine if this had been Michael Vick?
Your 2nd points are stupid and invalid. The gentlemen's client did nothing wrong, was a victim, and polls around the country show non-hicks know that and support her.
She is an internet phenom who has legions of male fans that will support her when she decides to return.
And, if she wants, she goes to law school. 15 minutes? Its been 5 years June. 5.
Anonymous, really? get a name, even a fake one like June.
Anyway, you are being obtuse. Why? Everyone that chooses to go in the public limelight gets 15. The length of time they stay there is irrelevant. But it seems like they do something to make us wish they would just go away regardless how much time is left. In her case, its sour grapes.
I don't take sexual harrassment lightly. But people like Jen make it tougher on legit cases. The girl enjoyed being the object of Brett's attention and hung onto that for 2 years. Then and suddenly, it's sexual harrassment.
This reminds of Rachel Uchitel's situation. The only item of 'worth' in her sorry life is that she screwed Woods and her silenced on other tidbits earned her a cool 10M. Jen was not as lucky pulling the same deal from Brett.
First: word to Jen, go to court. That's it. Instead we get this hemming and hawing from her and bartering on conditions to make her feel righteous. It was Blackmail. Pure and simple. Do this and I'll drop my case. WTF. Did you really think she would have been satisfied with ANY decision from the mmissioner.
I don't think that Btrtt is guilty of harrassent anymore than I think the Pope is Jewish. You sound reasonable anonymous, somehow, I think you can agree with me.
BTW: Aren't you glad Brett's 15 are finally over?
Can't we all just be happy that Brett Favre has ruined his legacy. Ruined his wife's good name. Embarassed his family and become the punchline to jokes for years to come?
Plus his robbery of the Vikings will go unpunished except for the years of pain he'll suffer for playing football for 20 years with such an extremely small cock.
I suppose that she (JEN) has never seen a picture of a naked man before if that was the case. Probably angry that a 40 year old does not look too nice in the nude. Now she has "melted" down Brett's family and for nothing. She should be fined not Brett.SHE MOST LIKELY GOT SEXUALLY "FIRED-UP" and led Brett on
So Brett was entrapped by Jenn's hotness? Friggin' morons out here. Morons.
Ask Deanna. If you remembers what Brett's dong looks like, that is.
Brett Favre is the man. Sterger is wanting something otherwise none of this would have happened. I love it when she says that she wants to clear her name. Had she not hired a lawyer we wouldn't be talking about this trash. The NFL did the right thing and they (Sterger) have very little but her word. Which obviously isn't much.
