Netflix: Michael Vick on the Brett Favre Documentary – Are You Guys Really Gonna Make Me Defend Brett Favre?

Netflix just dropped a new Untold documentary. The subject? Brett Favre’s infamous d!ck pic scandal. Yes, that one. And what did we learn from it? Absolutely nothing. For a series called Untold, you’d think we’d get, I don’t know… new information. Not a rehash of headlines we've all seen for over a decade.

That said, the story is still jaw-dropping. Favre—once one of the NFL’s most beloved icons—turned out to be a certified dirtbag. Not just to women (on multiple occasions), but also to people relying on welfare in Mississippi. Do I still have to say “allegedly”? Fine. He allegedly helped funnel millions away from welfare programs. He definitely harassed Jenn Sterger.

Quick refresher: Sterger worked for the Jets doing on-camera content. Her job wasn’t clearly defined, but it sure as hell didn’t include being Brett Favre’s personal plaything. After spotting her around the team facility, Favre slid into her MySpace messages (yes, MySpace) and started sending texts, voicemails—and then, that photo.

Sterger made it clear: not interested. Told him no repeatedly. But to Favre, no didn’t mean no—it meant “keep trying.” After all, he’s Brett Favre. How could anyone not want him?

He’s a creep. A predator. A selfish, entitled embarrassment. No debate here.

But here’s where the doc lost me: they brought in Michael Vick to throw stones.

Yes, that Michael Vick. The one who went to federal prison for running a dogfighting ring. That part? Not mentioned once. And look, Vick did serve time. He admitted guilt, paid the price, and began rebuilding his image. But if you're going to put him on camera judging someone else’s morality, you better address his past too. Otherwise, it just reeks of hypocrisy.

Favre hasn’t paid for anything. He’s denied wrongdoing in the welfare case. Vick? Pleaded guilty, served his time.

So yeah, there’s a difference—but don’t ask me to take Vick’s outrage seriously unless you're willing to talk about his own fall from grace.

If Netflix wanted to tell the whole story, they missed the mark. Again.
