What I like about this documentary is it makes it clear this is even more about a douchebag ex-QB for the Packers who is a thief and a con artist, it is also about a clear couble standard regarding race and gender in America. But it does not come out and say that, it shows this. It doesn't need to be specific, because it becomes obvious towards the end without the producers ever mentioning it. It has interviews with some athletes, some writers, and other insider types, and is not a bad look at Favre, with some historical footage of his early, and later, playing days.

It spends far too little time on the Mississippi scandal (less than 20 min.) the most egregious of his offenses, stealing from the poorest citizens of your own state, and then lie about it and hire a powerful attorney from the first Trump administration and push back hard, in a threatening manner, against all who speak out against you.

It spends a lot of time (maybe too much) on Jen Sterger, the woman who got the dick pick, and who had someone else go public with her story without her consent, and in the end had her own career ended while Favre suffered almost nothing from the incident. These two have never met, and never even spoken to each other before.

It is 1 hour.
