Well, Part I of the exclusive interview with Jenn Sterger is in the books (and available for you to watch below). Despite the headline we've used, Tuesday does not distance Brett Favre from the whole creepy situation. Instead, we simply know more details about how it felt to be Sterger (allegedly) on the other end of those voice mails and texts from someone she said never introduced himself to her or formally met her.
Said Sterger: "Whenever I would reply, it was more to try to figure out who I was interacting with. It was the same number, always. The texts, the pictures. The voicemails. There was no actual, 'Hey, Jenn. It's Brett.'"
But she said she was able to figure it out.
"It was all context clues ... They would always give me the pieces of the puzzle. Forty years old. Gray hair. New to the team. That only fits a few guys on the team ... No, only one guy on the team," she said. "I always noticed that he was looking at me in the tunnel. I just had that gut feeling. I really did."
Sterger said she wasn't flattered by the attention from Favre.
"He's married. And more than anything I feel like it was intimidating," she said.
In a different part of the interview, she had this to say: "You know, I was trying to go to work. Do my job. But how are you supposed to report on the news when you are the news. ... It was tough. It was embarrassing. It was humiliating. All I wanted to do was go to work. Do my job. That's all I wanted. ... The only reason I feel like I have to give this interview is ... for me, for my family. This has nothing to do with Brett Favre ... I just want people to know me, and to know I'm not a gold-digger, and I'm not a home-wrecker."
The roughly 6-minute segment kind of left us with a tone of sadness. Have a look-see if you want, and let us know if anything in particular strikes you:
