Gastineau confronts Favre in documentary for his ‘dive’ on Strahan’s record-breaking sack

Former New York Jets star Mark Gastineau confronted Brett Favre last year at a memorabilia show and angrily accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of deliberately going down on a record-breaking sack. Gastineau set an NFL record with 22 sacks in 1984, but Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan broke the mark when he sacked Favre in 2002 in a game between the Giants and Packers. I’m going to get my sack back, dude.” Favre tries to make light of the situation, joking that Gastineau “probably would hurt me.” The former sack king fired back: “Well, I don’t care. That wasn’t my forte at the time.” Gastineau, who was one of the league’s early sack kings and biggest personalities, is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
