Author Jeff Pearlman advises fans to not read his biography of Brett Favre after release of text mes
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," Pearlman wrote on Twitter. "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. Image rehabilitation. Warm stories of grid glory. His treatment of @jennifersterger was ... inexcusable.
"And now—taking money that was designated to help poor people in HIS STATE, and funneling it to build (checks notes) 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. I prefer crumbs like Brett Favre shuffle off into the abyss, shamed by greed and selfishness."
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.
