It remains to be seen whether the trade of Brett Favre to the New York Jets will work out for them ... or for the Packers.
What is abundantly clear already is the deal is paying off -- literally -- for the NFL.
Favre's No. 4 green and white Jets' jerseys have been flying off the shelves.
To wit:
-- More than 3,000 Favre jerseys were sold on the first day he switched teams.
-- More than 10,00 Favre jerseys were sold over the first two days.
-- Earlier this month, NFLshop.com sold a whopping 6,500 Favre jerseys. And, yes, that was a single-day record sales for that outlet. It obliterated the old single-day sales mark of 900 Tony Romo No. 9 jerseys.
But Favre Jets' jerseys aren't being coveted solely in Gotham City and the Meadowlands. Even locally, Favre jerseys are a white-hot commodity.
Workers at Champs Sports in Racine will attest to that. No sooner did they get a shipment of Favre jerseys and they were gone.
"Overall, the Favre jerseys have done extremely well,'' said Rob Brodersen, who is the vice president of marketing for Champs Sports in Bradenton, Fla.
"In that particular store (in Racine), the first shipment of Favre jerseys and Favre name and number T-shirts sold out real fast.
"We got a second shipment coming the 15th of September.
"It just tells you the admiration fans have for Favre.''

These are the people who, if they are even old enough, were not Packer fans until B Lorenzo F showed up in Green Bay. They are not true packer fans, and many of them do not even understand what the game of football is about, just that Favre is cute or is a down to earth sort of guy. Many of these people seem to forget the fact that BLF is a below average QB in the playoffs since he stopped taking vicodin.

I cant stand Brett Favre hes a big attention whore. As long as people are talking about him hes happy. Dude you decided to retire why come back your old as hell. Im glad he is far from WI.
Got my Favre jersey in GB three days after the trade. I thought I'd get ripped but ALOT of the locals loved and that think they treated him unfairly. Needless to say i'll be wearing it on Sundays and flying my Packers flag and Jets flag. He'll take them to the playoffs this year!
By the way I'm a true Packers fan, have been since 1980 so i'm well aware of the QB carousel. I hope the fans are ready for another 20 years of rotating QB's.
