      NEW YORK (AP) -  Brett Favre has apologized to the Minnesota
Vikings for the distraction caused by an NFL investigation into
allegations that he sent racy messages and lewd photos to a Jets
game hostess in 2008.


      A person with knowledge of the situation says Favre spoke to the
team on Monday while they were preparing to play the New York Jets.


The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk publicly about the conversation.


      ESPN first reported on Favre's apology.


      NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is still looking
to "find out all the facts" regarding the allegations. He says
that "once we determine those facts, then we'll determine what the
next step is from there, if any." Goodell spoke Monday in Chicago,
where he is attending league meetings.


      Favre played for the Jets in the 2008 season, before moving to
the Vikings last year.


      AP Sports Writers Andrew Seligman in Chicago and Jon Krawczynski
in Minneapolis contributed to this report.
