To help football fans prepare for the much-anticipated playoff games this weekend, Sears Blue Electronics Crew is igniting 'Favre Fever' with new TV advertisements and special deals so customers can score the ultimate football experience.

As customers are watching the playoff games on their new TV, they can check out Brett Favre's new Sears commercials at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qbQH8zG5kA. In line with the previous Sears ads, the new ad also offers a comedic slant, but this time in reference to Favre's shot at making it to Miami. Featuring Samsung products, the new spots are scheduled to begin airing Sunday, Jan. 24.

For those football fans that want to enjoy the game on a new television, starting this Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23, they can cash in on an eight percent instant savings on existing low prices for all TVs 46 inches or larger, anyway they pay. The Sears Blue Electronics Crew will extend the deal through Saturday, Jan. 30 to Sears cardholders only for total electronics purchases more than $999. Discount not available for use with Sears Card finance offers.

The Sears Blue Electronics Crew is also offering additional savings* for its customers, including:
