Followers of beautiful Florida State football fans who pen online sports columns, double major in Psychology and Criminology and pose in the buff are already familiar with the Jenn Sterger nude pictorial in Playboy.
It is almost 19 years old, after all.
Nevertheless, our staff was just turned on (pun… intended!) to the life and career of Ms. Jenn Sterger.
For those of you who didn’t watch E!’s Byte Me — 20 Hottest Women on the Web, which introduced Jenn to the world, here’s a rundown of what led Sterger to pose in Playboy:
She was spotted cheering on Florida State at a national televised football game. She looked hot.
Sports Illustrated proceeded to hire Sterger as an online sports columnist – allowing her to share the masthead with luminaries in the world of its writers, such as Rick Reilly and Frank DeFord.
Then she posed for Maxim and Playboy.
She later gained mainstream fame when she received unsolicited explicit texts from NFL legend Brett Favre, igniting one of the biggest scandals in league history.
Why is Jenn making headlines in 2025?
These days, Jenn is back in the news, thanks to a new Netflix documentary entitled UNTOLD: The Fall of Favre.
“I was never treated like a person,” Sterger says at one point in the film, alongside footage of fans and media personalities blaming her for the scandal.
The irony is multi-layered, as not only did Favre send the photos unprovoked, but Sterger never went public with the illicit texts.
She merely mentioned the situation to friend and fellow sports journalist A.J. Daulerio, who then published the story without Sterger’s consent.
“I had said to a couple people, at the end of this, if there are two scumbags out of this situation, it’s myself and Brett Favre,” Daulerio recently told CNN (per People magazine).
And yes, the documentary has reignited interest in Jenn Sterger’s Playboy pictorial. Times may change, but the internet’s interest in nudity remains the same.
