2007 Burger King NFL Jerseys

Here's a bonus pack to break up the Goudey monotony this weekend. I got this pack completely by accident anyway. I eat too much fast food as it is, so I've been getting happy meals instead of regular value meals when I'm hungry out on the road. There's enough food there for a quick meal, plus hey, free toy. Burger King has been a good place to get toys lately with their obnoxious Talking Simpsons toys. You want to go insane? Get the Doctor Hibbert toy with the hair trigger talk button and listen to him laugh FOREVER. So I grab a kids meal, and end up with this:

Whaaa? An NFL toy in a kid's meal? Kids actually still care about sports? Cool! Not as cool as the '78 Topps Tigers cards with the Morris, Whitaker and Trammell stealth rookie cards, but still pretty cool. Well let's see who I got...

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets! #51 Jonathan Vilma. The Jets have one of the nicer looking jerseys out there. The pack comes with the Jersey, a checklist folder, a cardboard standup and a suction cup so you can hang it up on the wall or in a car. There's a website on bk.com as well if you want some cheesy flash goodness. Hey kids! This is advertising! Pretty cool promo and it costs less than half of one of those Upper Deck packs with the mini Jersey in them. For the price of a kids meal you have a 1:32 change of getting your favorite team, or go for the whole set and gain 40 pounds. Here's the checklist if you aren't quite tempted yet. If you'll excuse me, I have to go find an Alge Crumpler jersey and join Jenny Craig.

I thought about running to BK to grab a jersey, but theo nly one I want is the Steelers, so I can pick it up on eBay or something if I just *have* to have it.. :-) Nice job getting the Jets though! Very cool jersey!

I have multiples of Leinart, Seymour, Young, and Ward. I'm willing to trade for one I don't have or will sell.
