Favre was Fined for not Cooperating

Down to the last few days of the season and maybe Brett Favre's career, the NFL ended a slow-paced investigation of tawdry allegations against the Minnesota Vikings quarterback with a $50,000 fine and a rebuke for not being candid.

The league punished one of its marquee players for failing to cooperate with investigators who tried to determine if the 41-year-old quarterback sent inappropriate messages and below-the-belt photos to Jenn Sterger in 2008, when both worked for the New York Jets.

The ruling came days before what could be the final game for the three-time league MVP. He'll start for the Vikings on Sunday at Detroit if he has recovered from a concussion sustained Dec. 20 against the Chicago Bears, and he previously said this will be his final season, though he has unretired in the past. He made the declaration even before his NFL record for consecutive starts was stopped at 297 in mid-December.

It has been a tough season on the field for Favre and his Vikings, and by the league's own admission, the investigation begun in early October has generated plenty of bad publicity for all the parties involved -- Favre, Sterger and the NFL itself.

Yet NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell "could not conclude" that Favre violated the league's personal-conduct policy based on the evidence currently available to him, there are many stores wholesale nfl jerseys at a low price, the league said in a statement announcing the fine.Forensic analysis failed to establish that Favre sent the objectionable photographs to Sterger, according to the league.

Favre's punishment stems from Goodell's determination that the quarterback was "not candid in several respects during the investigation resulting in a longer review and additional negative public attention for Favre, Sterger and the NFL," the league said. The commissioner also told Favre that had he found a violation of the league's workplace-conduct policy, he would have imposed a "substantially higher level of discipline."

The NFL said its sole focus was on whether Favre violated workplace-conduct policy, not to "make judgments about the appropriateness of personal relationships."There was no comment from Favre, and his agent, Bus Cook, didn't return messages.

The ruling drew a swift and bitter response from Sterger's attorney, who accused the league of favoritism."It clearly shows that an NFL star player was given preferential treatment and Andre jerseys tells all other players that failure to cooperate may cost you some money but will not result in other punishment," said Joseph Conway, who added there was "ample evidence" the photos were of Favre."Additionally, 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," Conway said. cheap authentic jerseys are popular amng the masses, you will get the good jerseys at low price, that is really good for them.
