As the NFL’s investigation regarding Vikings quarterback Brett Favre’s alleged behavior with respect to former Jets in-house sideline reporter Jenn Sterger continues to sputter toward a conclusion (good thing it’s on a “fast track”), Peter King of NBC and SI.com reports that it’s “likely” Favre will avoid a suspension once the situation is resolved.
King also said that, given the amount of time that has passed during an investigation that has been delayed by an indecisive Sterger and a CSI-style review of the digital footprint created by certain photos received by Sterger, enough mitigating evidence has arisen to possibly allow Favre to avoid a fine.
Still, no final decision has been made. At this point, however, a suspension seems unlikely, and it’s possible that Favre will avoid any punishment at all.
