Of course, it wouldn't be official unless Favre could make a buck off it...

I love how the price for the autograph is $100 off already.

Love the Mennonite hockey photos...we weren't Mennonites, but those photos aren't much different from what hockey looked like when I was a kid. Had to shovel off the pond before we could play.

As to #4's autograph: Why do sites do that immediate discount of a price? Is the thinking that people will believe they're getting some sort of discount? I've never purchased this type of item, what's the going price for a H.O.F. quarterback's signature? $275 seems steep for a guy that's alive.

So he takes the two interceptions in four attempts over two games in Atlanta towards his twenty years in the NFL but, for poster purposes, not so much . . .

I followed that link. How does Farvrer have receiving stats of 2 yards on 0 receptions in 2008?

Is it possible that he threw the ball, it bounced off a defensive lineman, back into Favre's hands, and he scrambled for two yards. Maybe it decides that it isn't a reception, but it's also not a rush, but they need the two yards listed SOMEWHERE...

Little did fans know those were the beginnings of what would be an illustrious NFL record.
