Lots of football players, former football players and fans sent out congratulatory tweets to Peyton Manning after the Denver Broncos quarterback broke Brett Favre's career record for touchdown passes Sunday night.

But few of these messages were retweeted more than one humorous note written by Jenn Sterger, the woman to whom Favre was accused of sending pictures of his genitalia.


Sterger was a "Gameday Host" for the New York Jets during Favre's brief stint with the team in 2008. While Favre admitted to sending Sterger suggestive voice mails, he never admitted to the photos. He was fined $50,000 for refusing to participate in the NFL's investigation of the incident.

The tweet from Sterger, who describes herself as a "comedian/actress/writer" and a "eucatastrophe in the works" in her Twitter bio, of course, suggests again that he did send her photos.

In addition to thousands of retweets and favorites, the tweet generated a few hilarious memes that Sterger apparently enjoyed:



Since the messages exchanged between Favre and Sterger were made public in 2010, she has left sports broadcasting and begun a new career in Los Angeles. She's spoken publicly about removing her breast implants, which she's called her "superhero costume," and pursuing a career as an actress. While she's left the broadcasting sphere, she still sends out lots of sports-related tweets to her more than 40,000 followers:


Favre himself did congratulate Peyton with a much tamer message:


Sterger wasn't the only one to make noise while saluting Manning. Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes' backhanded compliment to the Broncos' quarterback earned the ire of many tweeters:




Best, Worst NFL Stadium Beer Prices Revealed

 

EXPENSIVE: O.CO COLISEUM

Can Raiders fans catch a break? Their team hasn't made the playoffs since 2002. Almost every home game in the last three years has been blacked out on local TV due to poor game attendance. And those that do choose to attend the game pay a league-high $10.75 for a beer.

 

EXPENSIVE: LEVI'S STADIUM

The 49ers know their fans have deep pockets. The team just moved into fancy new confines in nearby Santa Clara, and the average cost of a ticket into Levi's Stadium is the highest in the league. San Francisco is also a close second to neighboring Oakland when it comes to the price of a beer, at $10.25 per. But hey, at least they're winning games.

 

CHEAP: GILLETTE STADIUM

Things aren't so bad for New England fans. The price of a beer in Gillette Stadium is right at the league average, but Patriots fans get 20 ounces for just $7.50. When priced by ounce, Pats beers are tied for the second-cheapest game beers in the NFL.

 

CHEAP: EDWARD JONES DOME

You don't often see beer prices go down from season to season, but that's exactly what happened in St. Louis this year, dropping the price of beer to $4.50. The Rams have seen better football days, but a glass of beer is 50 cents cheaper in St. Louis than in any other NFL stadium. That's something to celebrate.

 

CHEAP: PAUL BROWN STADIUM

St. Louis may have the lowest sticker price for beer, sure. But if you want to get down to brass tacks, no one sells cheaper drafts than Cincinnati. One beer costs five dollars, but fans get 14 ounces in a glass instead of 12. That's just enough of a difference to lead the league in price-per-ounce.

 

EXPENSIVE: CENTURYLINK FIELD

Seattle claims to have the best football fans in the world, but that admiration doesn't translate into savings at the snack line. Beer at Seattle's CenturyLink Field is on the more expensive end in the NFL, with a single draft costing $8.

 

EXPENSIVE: MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

For being in a city known to throw a good party, beer sales at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome sure don't make it easy to imbibe. A beer at a Saints game will cost you $9, but fans only get 16 ounces in their cup. That's 56 cents per ounce, the third-worst mark in the NFL.

 

CHEAP: HEINZ FIELD

If volume is your main concern, plan a trip to Pittsburgh. In a city known for its blue-collar pedigree, fans are treated with 21-ounce fistfuls of beer, the largest standard beer of any NFL stadium. And at just $8 each, Heinz Field is tied with New England's Gillette Field for the second-best price-per-ounce.

 

EXPENSIVE: UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM

It's not the $7.25 price tag that will frustrate fans at Arizona's University of Phoenix Stadium. It's the fact that beers only come in 12-ounce sizes. That's 60 cents per ounce, which stands alone as the second-highest mark in the NFL. Only one other fan base has more of a right to complain...

 

EXPENSIVE: LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD

Congratulations, Philly fans. What you lack in Super Bowl victories, you make up for by laying claim to the most expensive beer in all the National Football League. Like Arizona, beers only come in 12-ounce sizes. But Philly fans pay $8.50 per, a full $1.25 more than what Cardinals fans are forced to shell out.
