This unparalleled sports biography tells the story of Brett Favre, one of the game's last cowboys and a towering figure on the field for two decades. From a rough rural childhood and lackluster high school football career to guiding the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls and shattering countless NFL records, this book draws on more than five hundred interviews to reveal the man behind the rocket arm. With addiction, infidelity, the loss of his father, and a prolonged exit from the game he loved, Favre's journey is a fascinating portrait of triumph, fame, tragedy, embarrassment, and ultimately, redemption.
