Jenn Sterger's attorney slams NFL commissioner Roger Goodell
"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," said Sterger's attorney Joseph Conway in a statement. "While I am not privy to how Mr. 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."
"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," said Conway. "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
Brock Lesnar wants out of UFC?
Yahoo! Sports and Wrestling Observer contributor Dave Meltzer recently reported during his radio show that former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar may not be long for the sport of MMA.
According to Meltzer, Lesnar has not returned to the gym since the loss and is actively looking to compete at the next "WrestleMania" for an easy multi-million dollar payday.
Whether or not any of this is true remains unknown, but the notoriously reclusive Lesnar has not issued any statements to the contrary--not that he would if Meltzer's statements were incorrect--and the rumors concerning his desire to return to professional wrestling have persisted since his loss to Velasquez.

This has been said to be false according to cagewriter on yahoo. They claim Lesnar wants the best of both worlds, with a huge WWE payday and MMA salary.
