Jeff Pearlman's new Brett Favre biography, "Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre," (link to Amazon) comes out this week. We got a sneak peek at the book here at CheeseheadTV and are offering up this review:
I remember being 17 years old, laying on my parent’s couch and reading Jeff Pearlman’s now (in)famous profile of John Rocker, the loudmouthed Atlanta Braves closer, in Sports Illustrated in 1999. When I finished the piece, I had two thoughts:
1.That was different.
2.That was awkward.
Fast forward 16 years and Pearlman is a unique and accessible presence in the world of online sports journalism and one of the most underrated sports biographers on the market.
