| Jets fans didn't wait long to order Brett Favre gear. |
For the past 36 hours or so they've been moving new jerseys.
A lot of them.
As Paul Lukas from Page 2 writes, Favre-onomics are booming.
In the first 24 hours after the Green Bay Packers traded Brett Favre to the New York Jets, more than 6,500 of his No. 4 jerseys were sold through NFL.com.
NFL spokesman Dan Masonson said the massive number is a record not only for a single player, but also for total sales on any given day in the site's history.
Masonson informed me the previous daily record for any one player was Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo, a paltry 900 jerseys on the day after Thanksgiving, 2006. That's the busiest shopping day of the year.
So Favre's trade to the Jets has been like Christmas in August for the NFL.
No word on how advance sales of Chad Pennington jerseys are doing in Miami.
