Brett Favre Fined $50K For Not Cooperating With NFL In Sexting Scandal

No-nonsense NFL commissioner Roger Goodell Wednesday fined Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre $50,000 for not cooperating with NFL officials in the investigation of his 2008 sexting indiscretions, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Favre, who carved out his gridiron legacy with the Green Bay Packers, had been under investigation from NFL officials since news leaked that he sent cell phone pictures of his genitalia to ex-New York Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger during his stint on the team two years ago.
Prior to the decision, Sterger's manager Phil Reese said he's looking for the league to "implement a program" to avoid further instances in the NFL workplace similar to the Favre-Sterger exchange.
Favre, who's made 298 starts in 20 years in the NFL, said he's likely to retire after a miserable year in which he's thrown ten touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
