No, Dio, that’s not how it works.
You have to prove that she doesn’t have the phone records. Otherwise she does have the phone records and they prove that Favre is guilty.
Sorry, I didn’t make these rules.
“Allegation” is not an exclusive legal term, so your claim here is incorrect. I didn’t say “Sterger” made the allegations.
Innocuous? In what sense? Legally? Sure. Hardly innocuous is the fact that, while married, he invited a woman to his hotel room.
Agreed, if by “allegations” you mean legal allegations.
Private? This statement, made here, undercuts itself.
Ah, the arbiter of who gets to care about what and how much.
Much time and effort would have been spared if you merely responded with “No, I can’t admit the hero starting quarterback for my beloved local sports team is scum who attempted to cheat on his wife.” That admission (or denial) was really all I was looking for, to gain a little perspective.
Ridiculously over the top? I’m being kind.
No I don’t. I have not asserted that she doesn’t have the phone records.
I think you are also very confused about who has the burden of proof.
No one has made any allegations, even extra-legally.
That’s none of our business.
No it doesn’t. Saying I’m not interested in someone’s private life is not a statement about their private life.
Just an opinion. I think it’s very odd for someone to get that worked up about the infidelity of strangers. Are you Deanna? You’re awfully emotional about this, what with the “scum” talk and all? Would you like a kleenex?
I’m not sure what you mean. How would you classify "Brett Favre once sent me cock shots.?
I was remarking how ironic it was to call this issue (voice mail, cock shots, hotel invitations) private on a public message board. The fact that you even made the statement testifies to its publicness.
And mine is just an opinion. I’m hardly worked up about it. The guy tried to cheat on his wife. I’d say that’s one of the scenarios that envisioned when they created the word. It seems you’re getting worked up because I rightfully think an unfaithful husband is scum. Are you a cheater?
I assume that the general rule is somebody other than you.
As hearsay. Sterger has not corroborated or confirmed anything in that deadspin story. She has made no public accusations at all.
However public this kind of salacious speculation and gossip may be, it is still gossip about the man’s private sexual life and (absent any criminal allegations) still none of our business.
20 years and counting and I’ve never so much as held hands with another woman besides my wife. I’m not a cheater, no, but that doesn’t make anyone else’s sex life my personal business. How do you know his wife even cares? She’s still been going to his games and cheering from the box. If it doesn’t bother her, why should it bother me?
No, it’s the person making the assertions.
Come down off of Mt Pious. You are not the arbiter of what is acceptable in a marriage. You are not the one who defines what is and is not “faithful”. What holds in your marriage may not hold in his or anyone elses.
Read the Wiki page on their relationship. It’s unconventional at best. They were married after his fame had already taken hold and based on the circumstances it’s not unlikely that the marriage is one of mutual convenience. Let’s not act like we know what Deanna may or may not be feeling and what her expectations of Brett may or may not be.
Stop judging and stop assuming that you are “rightfully” thinking anything for which you have zero knowledge of.
Deadspin has alleged that Favre left voicemails and sent cock pictures to Jenn Sterger. When somebody alleges something, those of us in the real world call them allegations.
In that case there are allegations that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl.
Sterger has made no allegations against Favre. No one has filed any criminal or civil complaints against Favre, or even made any informal public complaints. There are no direct allegations, merely hearsay on a tabloid site.
It shows signs of real progress that you’ve finally admitted that one of your bullshit assertions is completely wrong. When you said there were no allegations, you were 100% wrong. Good on you for admitting it.
There are zero allegations. If I gave you the impression I was conceding that, I did a poor job of making myself clear. If you disagree, please tell me who’s publicly accusing him of anything.
And yet there are allegations. Deadspin alleges Favre sent voicemails and cock pictures to Jenn Sterger.
Deadspin is reporting that someone else has made private allegations. That’s not the same thing.
This thread has devolved into an argument over the usage of the word “allegation”. Dio seems to only accept a strict legal definition, while everyone else will accept that an internet tabloid report qualifies under the wider definition.
Fascinating!
What was that? Can you say that one more time, I didn’t quite hear you…
Changing people’s quotes is against board rules.
Not only that, but that an unsourced internet tabloid report is airtight proof of guilt.
