The Minnesota Vikings aw-shucks, grey bearded, just a down home country boy quarterback Brett Favre is starting to see some allegations piling up that at some point, he is going to have to answer. Deadspin.com released audio of cellphone voice mail and pictures which Favre declined to comment on at his press conference this week, but now it appears the wheels are set in motion for something which might snowball out of control.

The major sports networks did their damnedest to sweep this story under the rug when the first reports of these voice mails and photos existed.  Now that the phone messages have been released, 2 more females who worked at the Jets facility while Favre was there in 2008 have come forward with their own stories. And just to add fuel to the fire, the New York Post released a story today detailing how Brett Favres’ wife nearly left him twice during their time together because of his involvement with other women.

From the mouth of Favre’s own wife come the words, “One night, I walked into the room and heard Brett talking on the phone to a woman I had discovered he’d been calling. That’s it, I don’t deserve to be treated like this.” Deanna wrote these words in her 2007 book.

Favre dissed the question at his presser this week when someone actually had the stones to confront Favre about this, but I have a feeling that this story is about to go Tiger. And if it does, where does this leave the mainstream sports media? Dumbfounded, and looking like lackeys for the corporate interests that they write for. The mainstream sports interests jumped all over a similar sexually related story a few weeks after the first Favre story broke on Deadspin.com about New England Patriots LB Brandon Spikes and a video which was released of him receiving oral sex while in college. But in some odd way, a married man, now a grandfather, who has allegedly sent pictures of his penis over his phone to a fellow employee which works for the same team he is playing for is not news,  and the story was dismissed at the time because it was released on Deadspin.com.

The steady stream of information which is trickling out now, won’t put the genie back in the bottle for Favre. As these stories continue to trickle out, and you know now they are going to come fast and furious, the addition of Randy Moss isn’t going to save Favre in Minnesota. This has now become not just a story of a quarterback who came back for one more year than he should have, it’s now becoming a story about a quarterback who should have stayed away from the game because he is getting his reputation torn to shreds. Maybe he had 16 million reasons to return so he can settle an impending divorce.

Favre has had a history of reckless behavior in his career and there is no reason to believe that his career on the field was any different than his career off the field. That was already documented with his alcohol and pain killer addictions, so why would a womanizing addiction be any different? With this story in play as the Vikings are set to head to New York on Monday night, and in the coming weeks as more information trickles out as the Deadspin site has promised, at some point Favre will have to address these issues.

If and when the new details emerge, the mainstream corporate writers who despise bloggers are going to be made to look even more irrelevant just as they did in the Tiger Woods scandal. I could care less about Favres’ records; the passing yards, the consecutive games, the touchdowns, if he is proven to be a womanizing creep, he’s no different than Tiger Woods or anyone who juiced in baseball. A cheater.

Vikings head coach Brad “Chilly” Childress told the media this afternoon that these Favre stories will not become a distraction. I think the distraction is just starting and Favre will finish his last season in the NFL in disgrace.
