    Speaking of which, it's also OK to have a thought or opinion and not express it.

    Anyone here read his Favre book? Thoughts?

    The part that really struck me is that he accidentally found Jason Kaifesh, the former managing editor. And once Pearlman realized who he was, and went back, Kaifesh appeared to have abandoned his apartment. Why would he ALSO want to disappear?

    Loved it. Fairly deep on his background with USM and before that.

    I was there for much of the Packers run and it was incredible to see what the team did to cover up the very real problems he had with booze, pills and women.

    This was before social media. We heard rumblings but Favre was toxic for many years.

    Interesting. Thanks for the input. I'd be curious what you recall from the book about Favre's father. Thanks in advance.

    About his dad, I think I read it once and moved on. Never really was into the whole Irv Favre dynamic. I did re-read his wilder Packer days more than a few times.

    Someone actually killed trees to make a book about Favre's father?

    No should ever again complain about making a living in this business.
