A towering figure on the field for two decades 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 give up without a fight. This peerless quarterback guided the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls and one championship win, shattering countless NFL records along the way.
Gunslinger tells Brett Favre's full, definitive story for the first time, drawing on more than 500 interviews, including many from the people closest to Favre. Jeff Pearlman charts Favre's journey, from his rough rural childhood and lackluster high school football career to landing the last roster spot 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 inspired a fan base as passionate as any in the game. Yet he struggled with demons: addiction, infidelity, the loss of his father the day before he honored him by playing the greatest game of his career, and ultimately a fraught, painfully prolonged exit from the game he loved.

What did you love best about Gunslinger?
Favre has a really interesting life story with all of the ups and downs. Book went into great detail.What was one of the most memorable moments of Gunslinger?
Favre throwing up his Vicodin pills, picking them off the floor, rinsing them, and ingesting them again. Gross!What does Barry Abrams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Accents which gave some variety to the listening. They weren't great accents but were just enough.Any additional comments?
Never had any interest in Favre or the Green Bay Packers, bu this book was worth listening to anyway.Favre is a colorful character
