NFL Shop releases Jersey Sales list

NFLShop.com has released reports on their best jersey sales for the period of April 1 through August 28. For the second year in a row, Brett Favre is on top at #1. This time though, it is more of a shock due to the fact that Favre's jersey has only been on sale for a couple weeks.

Notables on the list:
1. Brett Favre - Vikings
2. Jay Cutler - Bears
4. Mike Vick - Eagles
7. Mark Sanchez - Jets
11. T.O. - Bills
20. Michael Crabtree - 49ers

That last one really surprises me, especially considering he's not really a part of the team yet. You know, because $20 million guaranteed just isn't enough money. His holdout is hurting too. Last week, Crabtree was 8th in sales.

Not everyone that wears purple wants Favre

Mike Florio and PFT are reporting that a "faction" of players on the Vikings would rather see Tarvaris Jackson start in place of You-Know-Who.

These players, whom have yet to be identified, believe that Jackson is a better option at QB than Favre and his out-dated arm. Personally, I still think Favre gives them the better option because he'll open up more for Adrian Peterson.

Florio goes on to talk about the "what if" of a Viking struggle. Does "Chilly" have the cojones to bench Favre and go with Jackson? He better. His job is on the line.

UPDATE: Adam Schefter of ESPN.com is saying that there is also a group of Vikings players that want Sage Rosenfels to be the starter.

Vikings coach Brad "Chilly" Childress was asked about the possible uproar.

"I've seen the same reports you've seen," Childress said. "Those are opinions. It's hard to shoot holes in an opinion. It's just that -- an opinion. I certainly don't see it."
