Before this post even gets started, I think it's pretty much a requirement to make sure everybody understands that, despite his flashes of brilliance on Sunday, Brett Favre is not coming out of retirement to suit up for the Browns, Bills, Jets or any other quarterback needy team.
Favre said so himself at his flag football game on Sunday.
"I don't believe I'll be making a comeback," Favre said via Packersnews.com. "My feet are killing me. But it was fun to be with the guys."
Now that we've made that perfectly clear, let's get to the highlights from the game, which featured one team led by Favre and another by Donovan McNabb. As for the crowd, more than 22,000 were attendance at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.

And those 22,000 or so were treated to this gorgeous laser from the 45-year-old gunslinger.
Favre to Rison but the TD is called back because of a penalty. Who knew there were penalties in flag football? pic.twitter.com/JPDhyHvSZK

Unfortunately, as Rob Demovsky indicated in his tweet, the touchdown was called back -- because we can't make things too easy on No. 4.
But Favre wouldn't be denied the end zone. According to Packersnews.com, Favre rifled touchdowns to two former teammates, Dorsey Levens and Antonio Freeman. He also, however, tossed an interception to Tory Holt, the former Rams receiver. For just one night, Brett Favre was back slinging touchdowns (and interceptions).
Favre led his team to a 38-32 win in the game.
