Minnesota Vikings star quarterback, Brett Favre just turned 41 yesterday.  He's supposedly happily married and has two children with his loving wife, Deanna.  Brett even became a grandfather this year.   He has retired and come out of retirement repeatedly, to the disdain of many.  At this point, I am thinking that Brett Favre is wishing he'd stayed retired this time.

On October 8, the NFL began investigating Favre for allegedly sexting and leaving lewd voice messages for "Gameday" host, Jenn Sterger during his 2008 season with the New York Jets. The investigation is in response to the voice mails and pictures posted on the website Deadspin the previous day.

So is this another Tiger Woods situation?  A seemingly stand up guy turns out to be a scandalous cheater?  Mr. Wrangler jeans, down home, good guy turned sexting, manparts flashing scumbag?

Should we be surprised?  I was at first.  I mean this is Brett Favre we are talking about here and he's never given us any indication that he could be capable of being such a dog.  But perhaps that's the lesson learned here.  All the nice guys out there might just be worse that the outwardly naughty boys.

Honestly, what kind of guy propositions team masseuses for sex and sends sideline reporters pictures of his manhood, thinking it's going to get him a piece of action. And why on earth would you leave such a 'digital trail' of your raunchy tendencies? Seriously Brett Favre.  You haven't come out and denied these accusations, so I am thinking it all must be true.

What does this mean for his career?  Well, Ben Roethlisberger just came off of a four game suspension for acting like a douche in Georgia.  He was never convicted of anything.  But, commissioner Roger Goodell didn't care.  He laid down the NFL law and suspended his butt.  If you think that Brett Favre is going to get away with this scandal, think again.

I would be willing to bet that this Brett Favre scandal will end with his permanent retirement.   We can only hope.
