Download Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre AudioBook Free
A towering figure on the field for just two ages and destined for the Hall of Fame, Brett Favre was one of the game's last cowboys, a fastball-throwing, tobacco-chewing gunslinger who refused to stop without a struggle. This peerless quarterback led the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls and one championship win, shattering many NFL records on the way. Gunslinger says Brett Favre's full, definitive history for the very first time, pulling on more than 500 interviews, including many from the individuals closest to Favre. Jeff Pearlman graphs Favre's quest, from his tough rural years as a child and lackluster high school football career to getting the last roster area at Southern Mississippi to a late-night car accident that nearly took his life. Favre clawed back, getting drafted into the NFL, first to Atlanta, then to Green Bay, where he restored the Packers to greatness and motivated a fan base as keen as any in the game. Yet he battled with demons: cravings, infidelity, the loss of his father the day before he honored him by participating in the greatest game of his career, and in the end a fraught, painfully extended exit from the game he loved.
