Brett Favre's 2016 biographer self-cancels book

Author Jeff Pearlman is warning readers not to buy his "largely glowing" biography on Hall-of-Fame quarterback Brett Favre after text messages uncovered earlier this week revealed that Favre and former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant diverted welfare funds to build a new volleyball stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi.
Pearlman's book, "Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre," was published in 2016. Pearlman said Tuesday that the biography was "fairly positive" despite the fact he included anecdotes about Favre's "grossness, addiction, treatment of women."
"Looking at it now, if I'm being brutally honest—I'd advise people not to read it," Pearlman wrote on Twitter. "He's a bad guy. He doesn't deserve the icon treatment. He doesn't deserve acclaim. Image rehabilitation. Warm stories of grid glory."

Is his bitch arse gonna cancel the money he was paid to write it? Or the money he made off of it?
These people. So righteous. So brave.

I've always like Favre but he seems to be getting himself into some bullshite schemes lately. If it's true then he deserves whatever comes his way. WTF is he getting access to public welfare funds? Can't defend that sort of shite

Favre continues to demonstrate that he’s a class A scumbag/douche bag but you’d think that this author would have figured this out earlier if he spent enough time around him to write a book about him.

The only problem I have with this is that the money didn't go to something more worthwhile like a parking lot.

Just do not buy it everybody. You hear me? Do not buy "Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre," by Jeff Pearlman

Favre has been, is, and always will be a narcissistic pos.
Any good he does his coincidental and/or accidental.

Setting himself up for an unauthorized second edition documenting the epic fall from grace? A portion of proceeds will probably go to benefit Mississippi charities serving the poor.

Sounds like he wrote an embarrassing, hagiographic puff piece of a book and, smelling blood in the water, senses his chance to memory-hole the book so he doesn’t have to be embarrassed by it anymore.

Why? Seems like it would be a damn good seller at this point. That looks like a terrible bidness decision.

It sounds like he purposefully kept out all the juicy parts (on behalf of the book’s subject) that people would want to read about now.

I'm sure he can expect a nice letter from Favres attorney
Posted on 9/16/22 at 7:27 pm to Stealth Matrix
Favre sent text messages asking if the media would ever find out he was taking welfare money. His lawyer will throw smoke all around it but anyone with half a brain, knows that Favre is a scumbag who was taking welfare money for his own benefit and using his celebrity as a tool to rip off the system.
The ones that don’t understand this are the ones that will tune into his new radio show on Serius/xm radio. Hopefully, for the sake of humanity, there aren’t many of these people.

Dude's brilliant. That's the perfect way to get Hella people to buy the book.

Favre is Chad af.
This writer is being blackmailed to torch his own work. They can't have any more "Favres" out there looking good.
