Is Brett Favre really an idiot?
Brett Favre recently made headlines in connection to the Mississippi welfare fund misappropriation scandal. On Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered podcast, Favre suggested that people should stop watching the news as most of it is biased towards the left and they control the narrative.
Some people, including Jeff Pearlman, the author of Favre’s biography Gunslinger, criticized Favre for his comments.
I wrote Brett Favre's biography, "Gunslinger." I can say with 100 percent certainty the man is an idiot. This is unambiguous. https://t.co/9hzDExlx8h

Pearlman tweeted that he has 100% certainty that Favre is an idiot and advised people not to read his book. Pearlman also condemned Favre’s treatment of women and taking money intended for the poor to build a volleyball arena.
Gee, I wonder why Brett Favre doesn't want people watching the news? https://t.co/3aCu7cbwKm pic.twitter.com/XCo0daTRnt

Perlman has besmirched Favre’s name in the past as well.
“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,” Pearlman tweeted.
“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 F****** 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.”
Can we all please just try to remember Brett Favre the Gun Slinging QB rather than whatever he’s morphed into.
