When you go to Vikings.com, that page above is the first thing you see. There have definitely been some web designers workign overtime ... or, they had this ready to go three weeks ago and finally get to use it ... or, this has been in the works for longer than anybody really knows.

They gently remind you, of course, that tickets for this "historic season" are available. And you can also, of course, get some Favre-related merchandise. Jerseys are, of course, at the forefront. But we would be remiss if we didn't point out the lovely shot glass and pint glass with Favre's autograph.

Let's not let a little thing like addiction get in the way of a little capitalism.
