While this game won't count in the record books, people in Wisconsin are extremely excited to watch Brett Favre's Legends Game -- a July 19th flag football game at Camp Randall featuring former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre and a cast of Packers legends. Details were announced today at a press conference inside Wisconsin's venerable home stadium where the miracles of modern technology allowed Favre to call in from whatever tractor he was sitting on to answer questions.

As an Eagles fan, I feel it is my responsibility to let the non-Packers legends team know that if the game goes into overtime, don't let your quarterback make any decisions.
It will be Favre vs. Donovan McNabb as the QBs in his game.

A few of the other confirmed players for the event are a nice mix of Packers legends and some Badgers ones too.
Packers confirmed for Brett Favre's team: Mark Chmura, Javon Walker, Andre Rison

And now some quotes from Favre to get all you Packers fans hot and bothered!
It’s obvious to me from Favre’s comments that he really wanted this at Lambeau but he sounds like he’s excited about Camp Randall #Packers
— Jim Rutledge (@JimRutledge) May 20, 2015
Favre asked if he missed Wisconsin and the fans: "There’s nothing like Wisconsin."
— Zach Heilprin (@ZachHeilprin) May 20, 2015
Favre said charity game at Camp Randall is a "win-win in all areas.'' Said facility "isn't Lambeau, but is pretty darn close.''

Favre on selling out his HOF ceremony: If there were any questions prior to that of how fans would react to my return, those were answered.

Dammit, Favre...
Alcohol will not be served at the game.

Sorry, Drew Meyer.
No kickoffs or punting in the Favre flag football game.

And just so everyone knows that the Bears still suck, Favre is sticking it to them one last time.
Favre on coming back for the #Bears game: I felt like that was the right fit.

So, Badger fans and Packer fans, are you going to check this game ou...OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!
Favre jokingly asked if this could lead him to play in 2015: "Anything’s possible." Added they'd have to wear flags.

Favre asked if he plays well might he return in '15? "Anything is possible...Although U guys are pretty secure at QB."
