Brett Favre declined to comment Sunday on the allegations he sent inappropriate messages and photos via cell phone to former Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger when he played for the team in 2008.

In a production meeting with ESPN for Monday night's game against the Jets, the Vikings quarterback told the network only that neither he nor his agent had been contacted by the NFL about the matter.

"My main focus is the New York Jets, they are a tough team; as good as they are that has been my focus," Favre told ESPN. "I hate in any way if this has been a distraction as I said Thursday -- we are here focused on trying to beat the Jets." Favre did not deny the allegations -- just as he did not deny them Thursday during his weekly news conference at Winter Park. When asked about the accuracy of the reports, he said, "That will take its course." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to meet with Favre only if the league believes it has enough evidence after talking with Sterger. Favre told ESPN he would have "no problem with talking to the commissioner" if his presence is requested at the league offices in New York. There is no question the subject of Favre's off-the-field behavior during his stint with the Jets will come up during the postgame news conference following Monday night's game. Favre also could stand to take a real hit to his reputation if this proves to be true. "It [Favre's reputation] has always been important to me," Favre told ESPN. "That was one of the first questions I answered when I signed here [the Vikings]. Sure it is important to me, it has always been a concern."
