Manager Says Favre Contacted Sterger Last Year
NEW YORK (AP) A spokesman for the woman who allegedly received lewd photos and inappropriate text messages from Brett Favre two years ago says the quarterback tried to contact the former New York Jets game hostess in 2009.
Phil Reese, Jenn Sterger's manager, tells The Associated Press that Favre called Sterger last June. Reese declined comment when asked if there were multiple calls, but said Sterger did not answer the phone.
The New York Post first reported the June 2009 call, citing an unidentified source.
The NFL is investigating the allegations against Favre and is attempting to speak with Sterger, who hasn't decided yet whether she will speak with the league.
Reese also said Saturday there has been no discussion "of any kind" with Favre's camp.
