I preordered it from Amazon and while I was there I got Deanna's book and a video on Favre. It was a Favre-only order.

Pick N Save. They only released 50 copies today though. I got three. But I am keeping two and giving away one to a friend. Not a greedy ebay seller. My wife told me some guy bought 40 copies. What a scum bag!

With any luck, the guy buying 50 copies will get burned when Sports Illustrated does 7 or 8 additional reprintings of this issue.

a friend of mine said that the west side Wal-mart in GB was pre-selling them, so I had her pick me up a copy.

Speaking of Favre SI's....people are getting big bucks for the older ones on ebay right now. If you are going to sell Favre stuff, I guess this is the time to do it.

I've been reading through most of it tonight. A little short, but really good. They have an article from each season about Brett. It really made me feel old reading through it.

Brett Favre is on the cover of Sports Illustrated again, and we don’t mean the special tribute issue that’s been selling like mad this week.


Favre’s retirement as the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback is the magazine’s top story in this week’s issue, which hits newsstands today.

It’s the ninth time Favre has appeared on SI’s cover, and the third time since December.

The cover says “Hard To Say Goodbye,” and there’s a close-up photo of Favre with a tear running down his cheek.

Here in Cali the Borders and Barnes & Noble haven't gotten either one of these. This morning I stopped by and the information desk told me that the where trying to get some of the Tribute edition because they didnt go to every region.

Hey WPony, got any extra copies? The regular edition will be easy to find over here. I'll trade you for one. :lol:

I PRE-ORDERED them from Amazon.com and they originally said there was a shipping date of March 17th. Last night I get an email saying they are having a hard time "getting their hands on them" so I had to reactivate the order if I wanted to continue to be on the list. This seems really odd!
