OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reiterates that the league is looking into allegations Vikings quarterback Brett Favre sent racy messages and lewd photos to a game hostess when he played for the Jets in 2008.

At halftime of the Chargers-Raiders game, Goodell said “we are going through that and we are making sure we understand all the facts.” Goodell added once the investigation is complete, “we’ll make a determination from there.”

Deadspin posted a story Thursday which included several voicemails allegedly sent by Favre to Jenn Sterger, who worked for the Jets at the time. The voicemails include a man asking to meet with Sterger, who now is a TV personality for the Versus network. The website posted a video that contained the voicemails and several graphic pictures — said to be Favre — that were allegedly sent to Sterger’s cell phone.
