Over the past few months, Brett Favre has gotten his fair share of hate from fans and the media as a result of his alleged involvement in a Mississippi welfare scandal that sought to reallocate money intended for the state’s poorest individuals. But few people have been more outspoken against the former quarterback than Jeff Pearlman, who wrote a biography on Favre.
This week, Jeff Pearlman once again blasted Brett Favre following the former quarterback’s appearance on Donald Trump Jr’s “Triggered” podcast where Favre urged people not to watch the news, claiming it’s controlled by “the left” who “controls the narrative.”
“If you’re watching the news, depending on who you’re watching, 99.9% of the news is the left. So there’s a huge agenda,” Favre said on the podcast. “They control the narrative.”
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 wasted no time in clapping back the subject of his biography “Gunslinger,” claiming that Favre is “an idiot.”
“I wrote Brett Favre’s biography, “Gunslinger.” I can say with 100 percent certainty the man is an idiot. This is unambiguous,” Pearlman wrote.
It’s a pretty brutal message to the former NFL star, and people had plenty to say about it on social media as a result.
My favorite Brett Favre fact is that one time deep in a film session in his third year in the league he had to stop and ask his back-up what a nickel defense is and his back-up, a Heisman winner, honestly asked if he was being serious. https://t.co/3LQ8MIzsvW

Much worse. He is a grifting criminal. https://t.co/J66XZ9vXvt

Pearlman certainly didn’t hold back.
