Former New York Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger was among the many to send Peyton Manning a congratulatory message Sunday night after he broke Brett Favre's career touchdown record. But unlike any of the other normal messages, Sterger instead used hers as a way to take a shot at Favre.
Sterger's animosity for the retired quarterback stems from Favre's stint as the signal caller for the Jets during the 2008 NFL season. In 2010, reports surfaced that he allegedly sent her suggestive text messages and voicemails and even explicit photos of himself. But outside of a $5,000 fine for not cooperating with the NFL's investigation, Favre did not receive much of a punishment from the league.
Sterger must have been waiting for her chance to take a jab at Favre, because right after Manning broke the record she posted this tweet:
Hey Peyton, if that congratulatory text from "He who shall not be named" is an MMS... Prolly best to just delete that one.

Ouch. She apparently hasn't gotten over the incident, which is understandable considering the NFL pretty much swept it under the rug and Favre was hardly reprimanded. Meanwhile, Favre took to his own Twitter to congratulate Manning on his record:
Well deserved Peyton. Congratulations on breaking my record. #Onto600 https://t.co/MEeffAlmeP — Brett Favre (@Favre4Official) October 20, 2014
Sterger is a former online columnist for Sports Illustrated and former "Gameday Host" for the Jets. She co-hosted the television show The Daily Line on Versus in 2010 and worked as a reporter for specials on Fuel TV in 2011. She has also posed for magazines such as Playboy and Maxim. She is currently pursuing a career as a comedian and an actress.
Manning broke the record with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Demariyus Thomas in the second quarter of Denver's 42-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. He finished the game with four touchdown passes and now has 510 for his career.
