Well, it was a classless thing Farve did. It was a good ole boy thing, just laying down like he did, being he was friends and a contemporary of Strahans. I remember the game. Farve was not in any trouble, but seemed to want a selfie and help his old buddy out: “Huh, huh, huh, ole buddy! Here ya go!” It was a lack of respect for the record and the game to do it the way it was done. TJ Watt eventually broke the record; but there again, had MG played in an era where guys passed 50times a game, who knows how many more sacks MG would have compiled in 1984?

Mark Gastineau has a point. Michael Strahan got the all time NFL sack record by conspiracy. Brett Favre and Strahan were buddies and Favre took a dive for him. I watched that game live and that’s all the announcers talked about. Everybody knew Strahan was close to getting the record and this was his last chance to do it, as it was the last game of the regular season and the final seconds were ticking away in the Packers’ 34-25 victory. On that “record achieving play”, nobody blocked Strahan because the entire Packers offensive line knew the play was a run play. And with Strahan lined up outside the line, there was no need to block him. But suddenly Favre runs a naked bootleg and all but walked right into Strahan’s arms. And all of Mark Gastineau’s teammates who denigrate him are jealous. And other than Joe Klecko, none of them were anywhere close to achieving the stats that Mark had. And if ANY of them had achieved an NFL record, guarantee they’d be proud of it and pissed if there was a conspiracy to run a fake play that resulted in them losing that record, a record that would all but guarantee them being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. I never really was a fan of Mark Gastineau or Joe Klecko or the New York Jets, but Gastineau was robbed of his record by two HOF players who cheated to steal Gastineau’s record. Also, look how Michael Strahan is remembered as compared to Mark Gastineau.
