Watching this right now and I get that star QBs have egos, and when they are in the position that Favre was in they feel untouchable. I honestly think Favre isn't first and most certainly won't be the last, QB to send inappropriate pics to female staffers. Is it right? That depends on each person's moral compass. He was married, and went outside of his marriage, that's is wrong. Had he been single I don't think it would've blown up the way it did.

Also, Jenn Sterger, while what she went through I am sure wasn't pleasant, she even said in the documentary "I've never even met him. We've never been in the same room together." She even said to the editor of Deadspin to NOT publish it, that she overshared with what happened to her from Favre. Yet in the documentary she was definitely soaking up her time on camera. I think what really bothered her most, was how the media, in general, treated her. One person even saying to her "You were selling sex and he bought it". That is a gross mischaracterization of what happened, if what was said during the film was true.

The portrayal of Favre in the documentary as some evil villain goes way beyond being hyperbolic when it was, at it's core, a star QB trying to hook up with a hot sideline reporter. I am sure if I had a $1 for every time that happened I could happily retire. Did Favre make questionable moral decision, absolutely. Yet it feels like the documentary was painting him to be this serial rapist/sex offender. Not the best work by Netflix on this one.

Now for the Welfare scandal, Favre absolutely deserved everything that came his way with that one. That's just straight up scummy behavior. However over 60% of the documentary is about his illicit pics he sent. I feel if they would've focused more on the Welfare scandal the film would've landed better with the message they were trying to portray of who Favre was.

I am curious what everyone else thinks.

Ah yes, that age old question as to where on the acceptable line sending unwanted pictures of your private parts to members of the opposite sex falls.

Apart from being obviously unacceptable, it's undeniably moronic. DW was able to keep playing football despite 20+ worse incidents because it was he said/she said and he denies it.

Brett sent the documented proof along with the transgression.

I enjoyed the Manti Teo and Johnny Mariel docs but this one was very tough to get through because the messaging was so obvious in how they wanted to paint Favre

Lately they've gotten worse and worse.

There were some back when they first started them that were good. But yeah they're mostly not captivating to watch.

Yeah, this doc was pretty bland and as said by others, nothing new.

Gator episode was where I started to lose interest as well. Basically just a 90 minute puff piece for Urban and Tebow.

That said I watched the Liver King episode a few weeks ago and found it well done. Seemed to be at least some what even handed and for some reason it's interesting how snake oil salesman can still prosper in the "Information Age".

Yeah she was the only real negative

No rule one on Jenn?

Agree that most of the Untold docs are a waste of time, but Shooting Guards (about the Gilbert Arenas locker room gun incident) was actually very good.
