There's Something About Brett Favre

Posted Jan 3rd 2008 4:59PM by TMZ Staff

Having already burned through 3.2 million copies, Sports Illustrated is now releasing even more issues of its Sportsman of the Year mag, featuring Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. Britney wishes her album sold like that!

The magazine did a second printing of 50,000 copies -- their first since NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt died in 2001. But that wasn't enough -- and another 100,000 copies were sent to Wisconsin to help satisfy the demand. It's not like it's the Swimsuit Issue or anything!

Favre is no stranger to being Oprah-level popular. His jersey is the best-selling jersey in the history of the NFL, and a knit cap Favre and the Packers started wearing on the sidelines this season sells for as much as $150 on eBay.

Only $150? Brit has Brett beat.

31. Oooh, Bret Favre is a cutie pie. I don't watch football and I didn't know about him until the movie with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. But, he is so cute. If he made the cover of Sports Illustrated then he must also be a good sport-type person. So cool. And I do think that Beckham is cute too, but his taste in women is weird. What's up with Posh's boobs? They just look wrong!

34. Brett Favre is a class act with great morals and talent.. as someone whos been to many games and lives on the outskirts of Green Bay, I have to say its been quite the treasure to be in the presence of such a legend. Good for him and his wife for not slipping into the dark side of the media and fame, like Tom Brady and Romo and many others. He deserves everything hes achieved!

Amen, Booyaka.
Go Packers!

35. To Roughdaddy:
Who cares about the last time he went to a Superbowl? Take a look at his career record, let alone all the new records he set this season alone. That right there speaks for itself.

38. I love Brett Farve, he is really a joy to watch on the field! Hey Tom Brady, you can take a lot of lessons from Brett. Like in humility and graciousness and teamwork. Tom could also learn from Brett on how to be a great father. Brett is happily married w/2 girls and Tom is a no good dead beat dad who only gives a rat's ass about his ugly horse face model g/f. Brett, keep up the great job! It's nice to know good men like you are still around!

39. Brett is the best. A class act all the way. It will be a sad day in Green Bay when he hangs up his cleats.

I love him!!!!

Go Packers!!!!

40. Brett and his wife are beautiful people. They have done a lot for both Wisconsin and Mississippi. His record in the NFL speaks for itself. Going to the Super Bowl is icing on the cake. He has been clean and sober for more than 7 years. Read his wifes book.Brett and his family have been very loyal to Wisconsin. That and other things makes him a great person. As a women and living in Milwaukee Wi I love the Packs. They have the best fans bar non in the NFL. And they are not just from Wisconsin either! So he's not a pretty boy like Tom Brady, but Humble, a team player, a family man and a Christian that is what makes Brett sexy!

41. One class act. May the best be yours . Hope you make it to the Super Bowl would love to see you there and you win .

42. There is NOTHING to do in Wisconsin other then cheer the "Packers" football games,
Now... if your date or wife is under 350-425 pounds (congratulations on finding a "Hot" wife) Now here is some other things to do... if you can...that is , if her fingers are not as fat as bratwurst , you and your tub of love, can through "darts" or go bowling.

Now let's say TAMPA BAY home of the MIGHTY BUCCANEERS has much more to do and so many thin fit beautiful young ladies in tiny bikini's stroll the beach on either side of Florida. You can swim,ride bikes, surf, go out to dinner, south beach, Orlando, go to Bush gardens, Universal studios, sea world, Tampa see aquarium, art center, Oh yeah the best fun Ray Jay GO BUCS!

43. Love my Chicago Bears, but totally respect Brett. If we had a quarterback with his talents, we might be at the Superbowl more often.

44. Hey Rusty, it was because of your screwed state that led to our now on the way out and counting down the days President Bush's 2nd term. Something to be so proud of, gotta luv those "chads". NOT.
