The new book, “Gunslinger: The Remarkable, Improbable, Iconic Life of Brett Favre” by Jeff Pearlman is getting strong reviews. But at least one person mentioned in the book says a story involving him and Favre is false.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took over for Favre as the team’s starter in 2008, but the Packers drafted Rodgers in 2005, so the two – the legend and the future – were teammates for three years.
According to a story in “Gunslinger”, excerpted on Bleacher Report, their first meeting didn’t go too well:
Rodgers and Favre finally met on June 2, when the Packers came to town for a seven-practice organized team activity camp.
