The Jets were hit with an explosive sexual-harassment lawsuit yesterday by two women who claim they were fired after one of them complained about sleazy text messages from former quarterback Brett Favre.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, former Jets massage therapists Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole say the graying grandpa tried to convince Scavo -- and a third, unidentified masseuse -- to huddle up for a threesome.
The suit says the team cut Scavo loose after she and her husband blew the whistle on Favre. O'Toole says she was then fired because Scavo got her the job with the team.


The suit, which seeks unspecified money damages from Favre and the Jets, says the quarterback put his crude moves on Scavo in the summer of 2008, after he'd been ogling her at the team's Long Island training camp.
"Brett here," the star athlete allegedly texted the unidentified therapist. "[Y]ou and crissy want to get together im all alone[sic]."
He then allegedly sent a follow-up text, saying, "Kinda lonely tonight I guess I have bad intentions."
Scavo -- who said Favre had eyed her "like a hanging slab of beef" -- told her husband about the texts, according to the suit.
Joseph Scavo angrily phoned the grid great and "requested that he stop soliciting his wife for 'bad intentions' or to get together with her," the suit says.
Favre didn't like his pass being intercepted, the suit claims.
He "responded in an inappropriate manner and refused to apologize," according to the papers.
The masseuses' lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, added, "He essentially told [Joseph Scavo] to go away and, as a celebrity, he couldn't be bothered with the little people."
Scavo and O'Toole "were never again called to provide massage therapy for the Jets" after the incident, the suit says.
Scavo first complained to The Post about Favre's alleged dirty deeds in October. She asked that her name be withheld at the time.
The suit says the women came forward amid reports that the team's "locker room and training camp were apparently a hotbed of sexual harassment, sexism and inappropriate behavior."
Former Jet sideline reporter Jenn Sterger allegedly had also been bombarded with lewd texts and voicemails from Favre.
And at the beginning of this season, Mexican TV reporter Ines Sainz complained about being made to feel "uncomfortable" over players' salacious comments to her in the locker room.
Both Scavo and O'Toole cooperated with the NFL's probe into Favre's conduct toward Sterger, the lawyer said, and both were disgusted with the paltry $50,000 penalty the league handed down against the millionaire player for not cooperating with the league's probe.
Sterger, who allegedly received explicit photos from Favre in another failed seduction bid, has also blasted the penalty and indicated that she, too, might sue.
"Clearly, they're just as dissatisfied with the NFL's decision as we are," said her lawyer, Joseph Conway.
The masseuses' suit also names the employee who coordinated the massage program, Lisa Ripi, as a defendant.
The suit quotes from texts Ripi allegedly sent Scavo in which she told the therapist her "husband is a complete a - -hole" and "you should have come to me."
Scavo and O'Toole want their jobs back, and also want the team to revise its sexual-harassment policies.
A spokesman for the Jets declined comment. Favre's agent did not return a call.

In the parking lot at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday, eyes turned toward the sky. A plane flew overhead towing a banner.
4 Years...0 ACC Titles...Lots of excuses...Fire Shannon
According to a witness, the banner inspired quite a few cheers -- and that was before Miami kicked off against South Florida. By the end of a 23-20 overtime loss in front of about 26,000 disillusioned fans, Miami officials had a decision to make.
They made it quickly. Shannon was fired Saturday night. As the banner pointed out, Shannon made no dent in the ACC during his tenure. In fact, his teams were a paltry 16-16 in ACC play.
"Our expectations are to compete for championships and return to the top of the college football world," Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt said in the statement that announced Shannon's dismissal.
Watching Miami warm up last week for its game against Virginia Tech, the volume of pure athleticism on the roster was shocking. I don't refer to recruiting rankings. This is about sheer talent. Put Miami's players in generic uniforms next to the players from Auburn, LSU or Oklahoma, and you wouldn't know who played for which team. Yet in Shannon's fourth season at the helm, the Hurricanes have yet to win even the ACC Coastal division.
It's a shame, because Shannon has done everything right but win. His players graduate. They behave. They represent the school perfectly everywhere except on the field. Saturday's loss to USF was a prime example. Most of the Bulls chose USF because Miami, Florida and Florida State didn't recruit them. There is no reason players Miami coaches deemed inferior to their own should be able to come to Dade County and beat the Hurricanes.
The bottom line is this: Shannon produced a seven-win season with an 11-win roster, and The U can do better.
A smart up-and-comer would walk across broken glass to get the Miami job. It won't pay as much as other marquee jobs, and while the Hurricanes have earmarked money to improve their facilities, they still don't have the palaces other major programs do. What they do have is a roster that can win the ACC next year and compete for national titles quickly. Even more important is a fertile recruiting ground loaded with exceptional athletes who aren't so young that they don't remember when national champions emerged from the smoke at the Orange Bowl.
Or maybe Miami doesn't have to limit itself only to rising stars.
Mike Leach is jobless in Key West, but Leach interviewed for the Miami job when Shannon got it. Plus, Leach's Air Raid offense is excellent for programs that don't have the talent to run a pro-style offense. Miami doesn't have that problem.
Which brings us to Miami alum Mark Richt. Richt, a pro-style guru, makes more at Georgia than Miami could ever hope to pay, but Miami could offer a fresh start for a coach who never has satisfied Bulldogs fans -- even with six double-digit win seasons in 10 years.
Mississippi State's Dan Mullen is another possibility. Mullen might also convince Bulldogs' defensive coordinator Manny Diaz -- the son of Miami's former mayor -- to come along to Coral Gables provided Diaz isn't Mullen's heir apparent at Mississippi State. Mullen may prefer having an SEC job, but Mississippi State will always chase Alabama, Auburn and LSU for players in the SEC west. Win at Miami, and the athletes will beat a path to your door.
Another name to consider is Louisville's Charlie Strong. Strong has only coached the Cardinals for a season, but he took them from 4-8 to a bowl eligible 6-6, and they were competitive in every game except a 20-3 loss to Pittsburgh. That may not sound impressive, but Strong inherited a depleted roster. Plus, his name has instant credibility in the Sunshine State because of his work as Florida's defensive coordinator. He also probably would bring defensive coordinator Vance Bedford -- a well-connected recruiter in South Florida -- and assistant Clint Hurtt, a Miami alum who served as the Hurricanes' recruiting coordinator from 2007-09.
Let's also not forget Tommy Tuberville, who served as an assistant on the Miami staffs of Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson. Tuberville may have missed his window, though. His Auburn staff got lazy on the recruiting trail and he was forced out the door. In one season at Texas Tech, Tuberville went 7-5 with an impressive win against Missouri and not-very-impressive losses to lowly-this-year Texas and Iowa State.
The name that also keeps popping up is Jon Gruden, but that sounds like a combination of agent chatter and wishful thinking. Still, some surprising names could pop up in this search because coaches are always intrigued by fertile recruiting areas. Well, they don't get much more fertile than the area surrounding Miami. If you began at the northern border of Palm Beach County and drew a line across the state, the area below the line produced 470 AQ-conference signees from 2004-09. Each school can sign just 25 players a year, and the area produced more than 18 signing classes worth of AQ-conference players in six years. Miami should have its pick of those players.
Shannon had ample opportunity to return Miami to prominence, but he didn't get the job done. It's time to give someone else a chance. If Miami officials choose wisely, the Hurricanes could return to national relevance in a hurry.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has issued a missing child alert for 7 month old Shannon Dedrick. Shannon is a white female that is 2 ft tall and weighs only about 11 lbs. She has blue eyes and some reports say she has brown and others say she has blonde or white hair.

She disappeared from her home in Chipley, Florida, which is in the Northwestern part of Florida on October 31, 2009.

Washington County Sheriff Bobby Haddock says his department is following up every lead they can in the search.

A call came in reporting Shannon missing about 11:50 am on Saturday October 31. The main area they are focusing on right now in the search is north of South Boulevard and on the East side of Brown St in Chipley. Sunday afternoon approximately 75 people were out searching the wooded and swampy areas near Shannon’s home.

Shannon’s aunt from Texas notified the sheriff’s office to tell them she would like the area residents to know that Shannon’s mother, Christina suffers from a growth development problem that Shannon could have inherited. She says the problem includes a somewhat larger than average head. She is reporting this in hopes that this would make her niece easier for a stranger to spot.

Haddock says nothing makes them think the baby has been abducted but they realize the baby didn’t just crawl or walk out on her own.
