I’m going to go out on a limb and guarantee Green Bay drafts a qb. How high the pick is might give some insight on how good Ted Thompson feels about Aaron Rodgers. If he uses one of his three top picks then he might not feel entirely comfortable Rodgers is the guy. I’m thinking third round he looks for the best qb still on the board. Guys who might be available in that round are Colt Brennan(Hawaii), Andre Woodson(Kentucky), and Erik Ainge(TN). You might remember Ainge for torching the Badgers for 365 yards in the outback bowl back on Jan. 1st. He’s the biggest of the three at 6′5, 225. If Thompson is nervous about Rodgers he may grab Brian Brohm in the first round but I really feel it will be one of these guys in the third or even fourth round. I hope Thompson doesnt wait too long or they could be gone. They most likely will be holding a clipboard all season long but they do need that time to learn the Packer offense. They could even be the #2 qb if Thompson decides to roll the dice and not bring in a veteran quarterback. My choice would be to sign Trent Dilfer now and get him in to the mini camps and OTA’s so he is up to speed with the offense also. There isn’t much else out there for a decent veteran qb, don’t procrastinate Ted!

The Federal Mint is recalling the recently minted Wisconsin quarter to replace the images on the back with an image of Brett Favre because there has been an overwhelming number of Wisconsinites that want their quarter-back……dohhhhh, !!!!!
After Brett announced he was retiring I immediately ordered 4 new bobbleheads made with Bretts final career numbers. We are preselling those right now on ThePackerMan.com. Its going to take about 90 days to get them done. If you buy now you get free shipping. These may be the last bobbles we make of Brett. Once he signs those retirement papers it becomes much harder to get anything made. You have to get NFL approval and licensing rights and then get Bretts approval(most likely through his agent) and licensing fees also. You probably wont see much made after the next few months.
YOu can pre order them right off the front page of our website.

We also have most of our other Brett Favre autographed items listed on the front page. We ran out of most items in the days after he retired. I just got back in some mini helmets, Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the year, 8×10 “the audible” from SB 31 and have one pink mini signed by Brett and Deanna. The highland mint retirement photomint has also been a hot seller. What has been a hot seller all year long are 8×10 photos of Brett with all the records he has broken. 421 photos, 149 wins, 250 consecutive starts, and more.

We are sold out of autographed helmets, footballs, and jerseys right now. We should have more in about 30 days. I spoke to his agent and they said even Bretts own website is oversold and Brett hasnt signed anything for a while. They hope to get him to start signing in the next week or so but are letting him take a break. The remaining orders we have on the site should be filled in the next 30 days and then we will put them back in stock as well. Hopefully there will be some new stuff signed with Bretts final career numbers. We should have some new Tshirts as well soon.
Thanks, Brian AKA ThePackerMan
