In his 17 years in the NFL, Brett Favre has broken a lot of records, including most touchdown passes, most passing yards, most passing attempts, most passing completions, most wins by a starting quarterback, most consecutive starts, and most NFL MVP awards, just to name a few.

But, Brett Favre has broken yet another record - one that seems to have flown under the radar, for the most part. This was a record that he broke OFF the field.

League officials from the NFL have announced that Brett Favre football jerseys are now the all-time best selling jerseys in the history of the game. More #4 Brett Favre football jerseys have been sold than any other jersey for any player, including NFL greats such as Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, or Johnny Unitas.

What makes this record even more amazing is that Favre managed to break this record while playing in the NFL's smallest market. It could be said that football jersey sales are the greatest measure of fan popularity, because fans vote for their favorites with their wallets. In any case, this record is certainly evident of the fact that Brett Favre's appeal is wide-spread among the NFL fan base. He couldn't have set the all-time jersey sales record by only selling jerseys in Green Bay. It just isn't big enough, even with multiple jerseys being purchased by the same person.

That's right - many fans own several Brett Favre football jerseys, as there are many to pick from. There are home jerseys, away jerseys, throwback jerseys, pro-bowl jerseys, game-used jerseys, autographed jerseys, youth jerseys, women's jerseys, pink jerseys, and yellow sparkle jerseys. There are even Brett Favre football jerseys for your dog and your baby, so no one feels left out.

You may get left out, though, if you don't act fast. According to Reebok, the official outfitter of the NFL, Brett Favre football jerseys are so popular that they are selling at a 96% increase over the 2006 numbers. By comparison, Peyton Manning's jersey sales were up 29% and Tom Brady's were up 57% over the same period of time.

The most popular tennis tournament, the Davis Cup will host its 61st final in the United States where the USA will host defending champion Russia next November 30th, 2007. It was in 1992 when the USA last congregated a final also winning its first Davis Cup since 1995.

Other nations such as: Serbia, Israel, Great Britain, Korea Rep. and Peru as well competed in the World Group Play offs earning a place in the 2008 championship. On the other hand, the Russian team has maintained its high quality performance over the latest tournaments such as: Hopman Cup played last January and the Fed Cup played this past weekend by BNP Paribas, therefore, it is definitely a very strong favourite to achieve this year's cup.

The final will be viewed by more than 12,000 spectators at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon. Both teams do count with well-known tennis stars it has been confirmed by the Russian team that Grand Slam Winner; Marat Safin; has decided not to play in this year's cup as he believes he does not count with all the fitness required as well as the mental preparation involved. Russia's hero made his decision as it was stated on his web site "Marat decided right now there are four better players than him who are in form." Among the games missed out by Safin were: the semifinals last September against Germany in Moscow he was also recovering from an injury but it is still uncertain his full performance in the ATP Tour.

The teams' deadline to deliver the final listing is scheduled for next Tuesday November 20, date in which they will give out the nominations for the final matches between USA and Russia which will take place from November 30th to December 2nd.

McEnroe, USA Captain, did make a statement regarding the satisfaction for having such an important event being played in the United States I think they could have sold it out just based on the USTA members - the demand for tickets was so great. So we're really excited and looking forward to playing in from of a full house in Portland," as to having Andy Roddick as one of the top players in the American team.

It was Roddick the player who set the team into the next round; but so it happens it was the final. He used his extraordinary game attributes to beat the Swede and liberated the USA from the Scandinavian jinx. There is no doubt Roddick's reputation as a Davis Cup competitor precedes him. His commitment to the team is so evident and strong and this certainly gives country fans a breather to know the Davis Cup record holder is on their team. Roddick's high spirit goes even further as he commented that "If I don't win another match between now and the final but we win the final, I'll take that."

For next year and according to the Davis Cup Regulations, Russia and USA will be the top seedings for the World Group and will be drawn in reverse halves of the draw.
