Brett Favre has another busy day ahead of him in his second day as a New York Jet.

On Friday morning he'll receive a Big Apple welcome from Mayor Michael Bloomberg at City Hall.

Even before he steps onto the field, Favre is already setting records in New York. More than 3,200 newly-minted Jets jerseys bearing Favre's name and his trademark #4 were sold online on NFLShop.com, breaking the NFL's one-day sales record.

Die-hard Jets fans eagerly shelled out the $80 per jersey after the three-time MVP quarterback was traded to the Jets from the Green Bay Packers.

The sales rush even temporarily caused the Jets Web site to crash.
