There's more to Brett Favre's return to the NFL than one might think. Favre certainly enjoys playing football and it's clear he wants to win another Super Bowl (i.e. defeat the Green Bay Packers).
Obviously the team he's joined, Minnesota Vikings, get the a hall of fame quarterback, that despite turning 40 in October, is still one of the best in the league.
Yet there was another incentive for the Vikings to bring Favre aboard. In the 72 hours after his signing the team sold 15,000 individual game tickets.
Favre's Vikings jersey was the league's top seller between April and late August and he only joined the team in the middle of August.
Even if the Vikings don't make the Super Bowl signing Favre was definitely worth it.
