The NFL concluded its investigation into the Brett Favre/Jenn Sterger case Wednesday and said that commissioner Roger Goodell "could not conclude that Favre violated league policies relating to workplace conduct" but fined the Vikings quarterback $50,000 "for his failure to cooperate with the investigation in a forthcoming manner."
Goodell told Favre that if he had been found to have violated the NFL's workplace conduct rules he would have been hit with a stiffer penalty.
Favre allegedly sent messages and photos to Sterger two years ago when they were both with the Jets. The allegations against the 41-year-old quarterback surfaced in October on the website Deadspin.
It posted a video Oct. 7 that included text messages and voicemails allegedly left by the quarterback for Sterger, including one in which he invites her to his hotel. The video ends with several below-the-belt photos -- said to be of Favre -- which allegedly were sent to Sterger.
