Favre forgets that he is married

Even though this alleged incident occurred when the quarterback was a member of the New York Jets in 2008, it did not make the headlines until 2010 when Favre was preparing to return for his second season with the Vikings.

The quarterback was accused by a former Jets’ sideline reporter of sending a few creepy voicemails and one specific, less than flattering cell phone picture. It seemed a bit odd for Favre to be doing things like this since he was still married at the time.

In the end, no legal action was taken. But the quarterback was fined $50,000 by the NFL for failing to cooperate with their investigation into the matter.
