Brett Favre and his banana penis saga have gotten recreated in CGI animation, mocked by Bill Maher, and will now face grilling by the NFL this week. On Tuesday, Favre will meet with NFL officials to discuss the accusations that he sent sexually explicit messages and pictures to former Jets in-house sideline reporter Jenn Sterger while with the NJ Jets. A source told the Daily News that Sterger was still refusing to cooperate with the NFL, and if Favre denies the allegations, he could escape any disciplinary measures. If they find evidence that Favre did send the pictures, he could be suspended, which might end his consecutives games starting streak, which is at a record 289 games currently.
