A Brett Favre biographer is telling people not to read his book on the Hall of Fame QB. Here's why:
Favre has already been questioned by the FBI and has repaid $1.1 million that was reportedly given to him for motivational speeches he did not give. The money he received was part of approximately $77 million in funds from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Allegedly, $5 million went to the volleyball stadium project. Favre still owes $228,000 in interest and could be taken to court by the state of Mississippi if he does not pay in full.
Pearlman called Favre's actions"monstrous" and included a graphic of a Favre jersey burning in a trashcan with his string of tweets telling people to not read his biography. "On the day of extended Favre revelations, I wanna share something: I wrote a biography of the man that was largely glowing,"."Football heroics, overcoming obstacles, practical joker, etc. Yes, it included his grossness, addictions, treatment of women. But it was fairly positive. And, looking at it now, if I'm being brutally honest — I'd advise people not to read it. He's a bad guy. He doesn't deserve the icon treatment. He doesn't deserve acclaim.
"And now—taking money that was designated to help poor people in HIS STATE, and funneling it to build A [expletive] VOLLEYBALL ARENA is so grotesque, so monstrous. I don't know how someone like that looks in the mirror. I just don't. So, sincerely, don't buy the book, don't take it out from the library. Leave it. There are sooooo many better people worthy of your reading hours. Of your time.
Pearlman's other books include"Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s," the book that served as the central text upon which the 2022 HBO series"Winning Time" was based.
