Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:54:51 -0800 Retired QB Brett Favre said he is happy the truth has come out regarding the New Orleans Saints bounty program; however, he would like to distance himself from the whole situation. Saints LB Jonathan Vilma reportedly offered $10,000 to any defender who could knock Favre out of the 2009 NFC Championship Game. "Now the truth comes out. That's good. But that's football," Favre said. "The only thing that really pisses me off about the whole thing is we lost the game. That's the thing about that day that still bothers me. And that's the way it goes. If they wanted me to testify in court about this, they'd be calling the wrong guy."

"It's an ambiguous, messy case," said Richard Emery of the New York firm Emery, Celli, Brinckerhoff and Abady, whose practice includes civil rights litigation. "Favre clearly played hardball and is willing to let what's come out stand on its own." However, Emery pointed out that neither Sterger nor the league had the power to compel testimony, and that a sexual harassment litigation or some other claim could give her more opportunities to get information from Favre, New York Jets employees and executives, the league and its investigators. The NFL's two-month investigation, led by the league's vice president for security, Milt Ahlerich, involved interviews with Sterger, Favre, Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio and others.

We feel very comfortable when he's on the field that we have a great chance to win, so you always want to put the guy out there who is going to give you the best chance to win. If Brett is healthy I think our entire team feels very confident that we have a great chance to win when he's the starting quarterback."
