The attorney for Jenn Sterger said Wednesday that the former Jets' game day host may go public with her story about her relationship with former Jets quarterback Brett Favre if the NFL doesn't sanction Favre over allegations that he violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Attorney Joseph Conway of LaRusso & Conway in Mineola said he has been told the NFL has concluded its investigation into a case alleging that Favre sent Sterger inappropriate texts and photos during the quarterback's one-year stint with the Jets. Conway said he has been told the matter is now in the hands of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. League spokesman Greg Aiello indicated there is no timetable for a decision.
But Conway said that if Favre is not punished by the league, he will consider other legal alternatives for Sterger, and did not rule out the possibility that she will tell her story.
"I think the material we turned over and the other information is a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy," Conway said. "We hope they rule that way."
