Brett Favre May Be Entering Tiger Woods Territory

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that Brett Favre apologized Monday to his teammates over allegations that he sent inappropriate text messages and photos to a former Jets employee. But will that be the first in a long line of teary-eyed apologies? Experts tell me that if history is any indicator (cough, Tiger, cough), Brett should hold on to that Kleenex box.

"At the moment three women have [made accusations] but a man stupid enough to leave voice mails and send naked pictures to a woman he doesn't know probably isn't doing it for the first time," an insider tells me. "Everyone is bracing themselves for more women to come forward. Now that the floodgate has been opened, Brett could be the new Tiger Woods in just a matter of days."

After Deadspin.com posted voice messages and X-rated photos that Favre allegedly sent to Jenn Sterger when both were employed by the New York Jets in 2008, an investigation into Brett was fast-tracked. Since then the scandal has added a pair of massage therapists that claim they too received suggestive text messages from the future Hall of Famer.

"It's no surprise to me at all," one sports insider tells me. "These guys are treated like Gods. They get anything they want when they want it and that includes women. Just like Tiger they start thinking they are untouchable and make stupid, stupid decisions."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the league is looking into the allegations.

"We are going through that and we are making sure we understand all the facts," Goodell said at halftime of the Chargers-Raiders game. Here's hoping football isn't about to go down the same path as golf.
