Ryan Longwell says Brett Favre cried as he apologized to teammates
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 11, 2010 6:26 PM ET
Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, a longtime friend and teammate of Brett Favre's, says that Favre cried as he told teammates he was sorry for the distraction caused by allegations that he sexually harassed former Jets employee Jenn Sterger.

ESPN's Michelle Tafoya said on SportsCenter that she talked to Longwell about the meeting.

"Brett Favre actually broke down in tears and was very emotional, saying, 'I'm sorry to have been a distraction,'" Tafoya said she was told by Longwell.

Although Tafoya said that Longwell wouldn't give her all the details of the meeting, Longwell said that Favre appealed to his teammates to stick with him.

"I need you guys to carry me tonight," Favre told the Vikings, as related by Longwell to Tafoya. "I'm ready to go out there and give it my best, but I don't know what's going to happen."

Longwell, who played with Favre in Green Bay from 1997 to 2005, told Tafoya that the tearful team meeting was reminiscent of Favre addressing his Packers teammates in December of 2003 after the death of Favre's father.

Meanwhile, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Sterger hasn't decided whether she will cooperate with the NFL's investigation into the matter, which Mortensen interprets as very good news for Favre.

"If she doesn't cooperate," Mortensen reported, "it's very unlikely that Favre would be disciplined."

The fact that he was crying shows he did it. He feels bad and regerts it. Everyone makes mistakes, be it a really big one. Still I hope he plays like crap today.

Yeah, why cry. If it was made up I think he would be "mad/pissed off" at Deadspin for dragging his teammates into this wrongly.

Yep thats what I would expect also. I mean thats how he reacted when he felt wronged by the packers and TT for trading him. He was pissed and even went on TV to make sure everyone knew it.

ESPN Anchor: Michelle, have you spoken to Favre personally?

Tafoya: No, but Longwell gave Favre my cell number in case he wished to comment or elaborate...wait...I'm getting a text now and it's from Brett...perhaps he will...EWWWWW!

I think you meant to write that he "re-berts" it. As in he's very sorry, oh so sorry...that he got caught.

I would not lay money on this game. Except for the chance there will be an obscene chant in the stands. I think he could play like his hair is on fire and light up the scoreboard (of course, those points could be in either column).

But of the things McGinn has written, one that has proven true over time is that he is a very willful player and should not ever be counted out.

Lol yeah. I know he regrets getting caught.

Nothing will happen to lord Favre as the only balls Goodell will have on the matter; are the balls lord Favre texts Goodell.

BF has lied plenty in the past; ask Deanna, Packers & Detroit Lions.

NB - How can Longwell compare Favre's crying about his [now] puplic dick and the death of Favre's father? Favre is truely disturbed and Longwell is clueless.

Harry Caray says, "Sterger spelled backwards is REGRETS."

Yes he does Harry.

How ironic is it that Woody Johnson brought Pevre to New York. He just had to return the favor.

Favre evasive as hell at his postgame presser....

Asked numerous times about the investigation by NFL, immediately said "if you want to talk about football, I will comment on the game".

Asked point blank are the allegations are true or false... if you want to ask about the game, I'll answer questions about that. If the text stuff is false, then why not just come out and say it!!??

Good ol'Bert. No "aw shucks" or "good ol' boy" type of demeanor is going to get him off the hook on this one.

Was he wearing Wranglers? That really feeds into the good ol boy act. If he wasn't wearing them it's possible the media weren't sucked in enough.

Woody, we all get your point. That video they posted isn't enough on its own to prove anything. With enough time and effort I could have made that video and I've never spoken with Favre in my life.

The video is not proof but getting the smoking gun phone records is so trivial that you've got seriously doubt how any website would make that video if none of it could be verified by the NFL. Its really a matter of seeing if the number that sent the pictures and left the voice mails is known to be Favre's phone. We're all thrilled because the NFL is going to bust him easily if it really happened which it probably did. Its not exactly far fetched just because you want it to be.

Ok so he probably did it, but will he get in any real trouble? Why would the NFL investigate if there weren't going to be consequences? The fact that the women involved were harassed at work makes it likely as well. Even if he's not punished by the NFL I'll still revel in the bad press he's getting. Karma be damned, that shits not real although the fact that this is all happening to Favre may suggest otherwise. Do I feel bad for his family? Yeah, but not because people are slandering their father and husband--because it looks like their father and husband is a sleezeball.

3irty1 I cetainly appreciate your manners and personal points of view in the above post, man.

I do not know if Favre's guilty 3irty1, not yet. When and if I learn of his guilt, as determined by the NFL,, or otherwise, I'll post my honest reaction and give this forum a piece of my meat. I'm not, a too proud man.

Till then ... Favre's innoscent and I'll defend his innoscent until proven guilty, basic human rights. ... woodbuck27

man, i just watched his post game presser and boy did he seem flustered when they asked him about the texts. did you see how he tried to change the subject? "anyone wanna talk about randy moss?" (silence) "Percy. Anyone wanna talk about percy?" (Silence). Then he proceeded to ramble on for what felt like 5 minutes about nothing hoping they'd change the subject...it was pathetic

Like you said, I think the media isn't falling for his "aw shucks" personality anymore. I'm just hoping jenn sterger doesn't bail out of the investigation so we can all find out what the "truth" is...(because it's so hard to tell )
