There's Something About Brett Favre

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

Brett FavreHaving 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.

63. If you hate Brett Favre, you hate all that is good in people. That's just a fact. He's everything a man/a human being should be. His wife is the same way. They're beautiful people inside and out. There's just no way anyone could hate them unless they're jealous.

65. Yes, Brett Favre rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 53 years old and have been a Packer fan since watching Bart Starr in 1960. Afterall, I lived in Appleton at the time!!!!! (25 miles south of GB) Brett, you have brought me years of football enjoyment and I am so PROUD to have your signed football breaking Dan's passing TD's record. Thank you for the many years!!!!

66. Tom Brady may be a good quarterback, but no one ever hears anything about him on ESPN or anything else for that matter. You have to go to the New England Patriots home page to hear anything about him. His day will come SOME day though.

67. Brett Favre is a MAN among men. He stands tall and asks for nothing and gives his all. Look at his following around the world. If you ever have a chance to watch him play do it it will be in your most treasured memories. Those of you how scorn him have little knowledge of what it takes to be someone so admired.

70. Well, we were expecting a Manning and we got one. Big Bro has a little compensation he can watch his much loved little brother go up against the all time Great Brett.

Wish Eli all the luck in the world . BUT , still want Packers to be winners in this game .

Weather may not be so much of a factor for these two good ole boys from Mississippi , transplants have done well so far.

73. can not say Brady is over rated, imo, the stats are on his side today. Has Eli been under rated ?Sure as hell hope so.

My choice got beat , chit happens . So now NYG has a chance to come up big tome.

Go Eli. now this is an underdog for sure . May loose my money but will have to bet on Eli for the Feb. game, keeping fingers, toes crossed. Just love the underdogs.
