NFL was pissed but only could fine him $50,000 due to the rules on amount for fines. Farve isn't clear of all this mess since he can still be sued but it wouldn't be a normal case due to statue of limitations on the original complaint already passed by.

The NFL also "conveniently" delayed making any decision about this until Favre's season was over.
