Brett Favre Fined $50,000 For Nude Pics (UPDATE)

The NFL has fined Brett Favre $50,000 for “failure to cooperate” with the league’s investigation into allegations he texted pictures of his genitals to Jenn Sterger.

Commissioner Roger Goodell was unable to determine whether Favre broke the NFL’s personal conduct policy based on the available evidence.

But Goodell did say Favre was not “candid” during the investigation.

In a memo to the 32 teams in the league, the commissioner said there are “no excuses for improper or potentially unlawful conduct in the workplace.”

“Every member of every club’s staff should be able to work in an environment free of harassment or hostility, and one in which every employee is valued, respected, and given a full opportunity to contribute to the goals of the club and the NFL,” Goodell said in the statement.

“Our new training program on workplace conduct will help all of us to promote the right kind of environment for all employees and I intend to dedicate the fine I have imposed on Favre to help fund that training program.”

“In reviewing the matter, the sole focus was on whether there was a violation of league policies regarding conduct in the workplace.”

“NFL policies do not extend to private conduct or make judgments about the appropriateness of personal relationships, except where that conduct or those relationships raise issues under the law or league policies.”

“The investigation included an analysis of publicly available reports; a series of interviews with knowledgeable individuals, including Sterger and Favre; a review of communications between the two furnished to our office; and independent forensic analysis of electronically stored material.”

“The investigation was limited in several respects because the conduct occurred in 2008 but was not brought to our attention until this fall. As a result, certain records and individuals were unavailable to the NFL.”

Favre was not suspended. He is expected to retire – again – after the Minnesota Vikings play their final game on Sunday.

    First he embarrasses himself and his wife by taking unflattering shots of his teenky weenky (wearing Crocs no less! What the hell?!) and now he’s not only been rejected by the object of his lust, but he’s being fined for it too?

    HAHAHA. He just can’t win, can he? I’d almost feel bad for him… if he weren’t filthy rich!

    Nobody knows whether he did this or not. Which is most likely how he wanted to leave it. To be fined $50,000.for keeping your mouth shut is okay for him, he can certainly afford it. I’m sure the “Hostess” has enjoyed the publicity. I just wish he had retired while it could have been done with dignity.
