MANHATTAN — Former Jets player Brett Favre made sexual passes to two massage therapists during his time with Gang Green, according to a Deadspin report released Friday.

The accusations came the same day the NFL announced a review into allegations he sent lewd photos and messages to a reporter.

Favre exchanged numbers and "sent nasty text messages" to the therapists, a Jets spokesperson allegedly told Deadspin.

The same sports website said that the quarterback tried to woo former Maxim model and sideline reporter Jennifer Sterger in 2008 by sending her below-the-waist photos and suggestive voicemails.

"We are working closely with the league in their review of the matter," Jets spokesman Jessie Derris told the New York Post.

If the NFL finds that the claims are true, Favre could be disciplined for personal conduct violations, the Post reported.

Deadspin.com posted a recording of what it claims is Favre inviting Sterger to his room.

"Just got done with practice, got meetings here for a couple more hours then I’m going back to the hotel room to just chill," the message says online. "So send me a text…I’d love to see you tonight."

When grilled about the alleged cellphone photos and voicemails that Deadspin posted on its website, the current Vikings quarterback brushed off the questions, saying he needed to focus on his next big game.

"I’m not getting into that," Favre told the Post. "I’ve got my hands full with the Jets."

The Minnesota Vikings are scheduled to play the New York Jets at New Meadlowlands Stadium Monday night.
