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.

That dude isn’t even the real all time leader. Deacon Jones had 26 sacks in a single season but it wasn’t an official stat until many years later. Also did it in 14 games.
Such a silly thing to get upset about, Reggie White had 21 sacks in 12 games in 1987. That's way more impressive than 22/22.5 sacks in a 16 game season.
Reggie White’s 21 sacks and Jerry Rice’s 22 touchdowns in 1987 are two of the most insane records held in the NFL. To accomplish that in 12 games is insane.

Good for Mark saying that to Brett! Better late than never I always say! Taking a dive in any sport whether football, boxing, etc is never right in any professional sport!
@@iaminhuman9357 It was very clearly obvious that Favre rolled to the right to get sacked by Strahan. I remember watching the game and thinking, "This is pathetic!"
Deacon was a machine. He had 3 22+ sack seasons when PFF went back and graded the old players sacks game by game from game footage. No other player has had more than 1. His sacks per attempt rating is the 2nd highest ever, only behind the Minister of Defense, Reggie White.
Ahem. I believe the last time Brigitte Nielsen was in the news was exactly 30 years ago. She was married to Gastineau at one point, so there's that angle. bawahah
In 1991, Gastineau began a career in boxing, lasting five years. In his first fight, Gastineau knocked out Derrick Dukes in the first round. Dukes, a professional wrestler, later admitted he took a dive. TV newsmagazine show 60 Minutes interviewed several others that fought Gastineau and were told to take dives to make Gastineau look good. His career ended in 1996 when he lost to another former football player, Alonzo Highsmith. In 18 career bouts, his record in boxing was 15 wins, two losses, and one no-contest.
I second that motion!..Deacon was the original sack leader, it’s a shame the NFL didn’t count that stat back in the day of good ol pro football at its best! 🏈🤙🏼
Brett Favre was wrong for taking that dive, But mark was in the wrong for being petty and confronting Brett about it. Mark needs to let it go. It’s unfortunate that the sack record went down like that, but it is what it is. And I’m a proud NY Jets fan.
I think Mark had to say his peace and now maybe he can let it go. He had to let Brett know that he knew Brett took a dive. I honestly watched very little football and never heard of this until now. He took a dive
I grew up in Nassau County, Long Island, NY. The Jets would practice at Hofstra University, which was off of a main LI road called "Hempstead Tpke" which fed into the Southern State Parkway. In the 80s I was heading down that way on the weekend when the traffic crawled to almost a halt. The reason - Mark Gastineau, in all his glory, was riding a Schwin Stingray bicycle down Hempstead Tpke but had stopped by the Southern State Plwy exit to fluff up his mulletted mane, preening and primping to the rubbernecking cars sharing the road with me. All 6'5", 260 lbs of him straddled aloft a bike that looked like a toddler's tricycle in comparison to his enormous size. Glorious indeed!!
This dude's ghost has haunted him since that day, and he chose to speak up. It may be crazy but perhaps getting it off his chest is the best thing for him to do before hes gone.
@HR-up5lf looking back at the comment. I completely read it wrong earlier. My bad on that. My brain reacted as belittling it. I get it now. Thanks for the input
Call it childish if you will but it really shouldn’t have been a sack. Brett’s knee was down before Strahan even touched him. People need to understand Mark played in an era where guys played a brutal game for pennies. Giving Mark that honor and making the hall of fame would have at least made it worth it for him. Being in the hall of fame should be earned not given.
Idk how I feel about this. Mark is literally seen hugging Michael Strahan just after that game he broke the record, and NOW he confronts Brett Favre about it? He needs to let this pain go.
Actually, Strahan only had 34 more sacks than Gastineau did, in 100 more starts. Gastineau averaged a sack per start and was better than Strahan at getting to the quarterback but didn’t play for nearly as long.
Show what happened the play before the sack. Brett threw a ball away to avoid a sack then Pointed to Strahan essentially saying he’s give him the sack which he did
For sure, several of his co-conspirators have already pled guilty so why is this clown allowed to walk around as if nothing happened. We all heard him on tape asking if people will find out if this rich dude taking money from poor people could become public. He and Rodgers are great at killing their legacies, time to just go away
Thus far, innocent until proven otherwise. However, Favre is guilty of being naive, which is more than I can say of our lawmakers who openly give favors to lobbyists with our tax dollars and legislation! Where is the outrage to that!
@@pl1532 Terribly ironic, a highly naive comment about a rich con artist being naive. Any reasonable person looking at the actual transcript of his direct communications to those who have pled guilty would easily conclude he knew what he was doing. This was no accident, he asked for unethical, immoral and illegal acts from corrupt GOP politicians in MS that clearly wanted to kiss up to a local hero. Shameful stuff from everyone but esp Farve
I’m not gonna lie, he has a point, not saying Strahan wouldn’t have sacked him but he literally gave him that sack record, I’ve seen BF keep plays alive to chunk it down the field, that’s where Aaron Rodgers get it from!
Brett Favre is only guilty of being a naive jock, which is more than I can say of our lawmakers who openly give favors to lobbyists with our tax dollars and legislation! Where is the outrage to that!
Say what you want about Gastineau, but that play was scripted for Strahan to get the sack record. You can tell it's supposed to be a run play b/c the o-line is pushing forward, but Brett didn't hand the ball off and ran straight to Strahan. Pathetic!
I understand it's been 20+ years, and people forget... But Favre absolutely took a dive. Up 9 with two minutes left in the final game of the season, Favre walked over to Strahan before the play and talked to him. Then he audibles to a run left, doesn't hand the ball off, and instead runs right over to Strahan and slides down. It was disgraceful and obvious, go watch the broadcast and the announcers are shocked. After the game even the Packers' OL was pissed. It was a big deal, and was a black mark on Strahan's career for a long time. Gastineau is right to be pissed. Unfortunately he makes himself look like a fool here. But make no mistake, Favre knows what he did. He can play dumb all he wants, just like he played dumb in the courtroom after stealing money from the poor.
If you've got a 22 sack season and you're not in the HOF, there's probably a good reason that's more than "Brett Favre took a dive to help Michael Strahan beat my record by half a sack."
I think the interaction is petty, and I’m not a Jets fan, but Gastineau should be in Canton in my opinion. He has 99 sacks over his seven best seasons combined; that’s more than several Hall of Famers.
I see nothing wrong with a man telling another man to his face that he wrong him. He didnt start a fight. He didnt pull out a gun. He just a gave him a piece of his mind! Everyone knows that if that sack record wasnt on the line, brett would have tried to get out of that sack, stepping up in the pocket, throwing the ball away or something. He gave up on the play
The criteria for a sack was different back then. The game is always evolving. Believe it or not, there was a time when a catch was a catch and receivers didn't need to worry about having "control of the ball"
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.
Michael Strahan played much more recently and won arguably the most iconic Super Bowl ever. Write another thesis though defending this grown man's tantrum.
Bro STFU. They literally tell you the main reason they don’t like him is because he was a selfish player in a team sport and you still try to claim they’re just “jealous”?!?! You and Mark both need to grow up with that kind of thought process.
Gastineau is a hypocrite his first boxing match was a set up. his opponent took a dive, in an effort for Gastineau to eventually fight G Foreman for many $$$$$$$$$$ he was trying to fake a win record. he has no class
he may be in the wrong for holding this grudge all this time but you have to admit that it was pretty lame of Favre to hand the record to Strahan on a silver platter instead of Strahan earning it fair and square.
Not sure why people are going at Gastineau. It’s like a guy getting a HR record because the pitcher lobbed underhand pitches for the guy to break the record. People would be pissed and so would the guy who had his record broken. The play call, the blocking and the flop were all a joke. And it cost Gastineau $$$. Total scam.
He should be in the Hall of Fame Career highlights and awards NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1982) 4× First-team All-Pro (1982, 1983, 1984, 1985) Second-team All-Pro (1981) 5× Pro Bowl (1981-1985) 2× NFL sacks leader (1983, 1984) NFL record Most consecutive seasons as sacks leader: 2
Speaking as a Giants fan, I absolutely can not blame Mark Gastineau for being upset, Favre absolutely took a dive that last game of the season. Gastineau has every right being mad.

I have to agree with Mark gastineau. That was not a sack. He was already down. Or at least he does make a valid point.
One thing Gastineau can say that Strahan can’t:
He had 41 sacks over two seasons in a row.
This is wild lol. Imagine being that upset about it
It doesn’t even matter now, TJ has the record now and in only 15 games, is he gonna go find him now 😂
It is all he has now. Probably no marriage. Old teammates gone. Fame...gone. Looks...way gone. Money....maybe he has that, but who knows...

Ahem. I believe the last time Brigitte Nielsen was in the news was exactly 30 years ago. She was married to Gastineau at one point, so there's that angle. bawahah
@@afmartin2734 They never married.
In 1991, Gastineau began a career in boxing, lasting five years. In his first fight, Gastineau knocked out Derrick Dukes in the first round. Dukes, a professional wrestler, later admitted he took a dive. TV newsmagazine show 60 Minutes interviewed several others that fought Gastineau and were told to take dives to make Gastineau look good. His career ended in 1996 when he lost to another former football player, Alonzo Highsmith. In 18 career bouts, his record in boxing was 15 wins, two losses, and one no-contest.
Very interesting. So, it’s official. Gastinou is a douche bag

Exactly. Let it go dude, TJ broke his record anyways. And he was injured for 2 of the 17 games
They need to deputize Mark and let him arrest Farve for steeling money from Mississippi taxpayers
I think Mark had to say his peace and now maybe he can let it go. He had to let Brett know that he knew Brett took a dive. I honestly watched very little football and never heard of this until now. He took a dive
I grew up in Nassau County, Long Island, NY. The Jets would practice at Hofstra University, which was off of a main LI road called "Hempstead Tpke" which fed into the Southern State Parkway. In the 80s I was heading down that way on the weekend when the traffic crawled to almost a halt. The reason - Mark Gastineau, in all his glory, was riding a Schwin Stingray bicycle down Hempstead Tpke but had stopped by the Southern State Plwy exit to fluff up his mulletted mane, preening and primping to the rubbernecking cars sharing the road with me. All 6'5", 260 lbs of him straddled aloft a bike that looked like a toddler's tricycle in comparison to his enormous size. Glorious indeed!!
This dude's ghost has haunted him since that day, and he chose to speak up. It may be crazy but perhaps getting it off his chest is the best thing for him to do before hes gone.

Call it childish if you will but it really shouldn’t have been a sack. Brett’s knee was down before Strahan even touched him. People need to understand Mark played in an era where guys played a brutal game for pennies. Giving Mark that honor and making the hall of fame would have at least made it worth it for him. Being in the hall of fame should be earned not given.
Idk how I feel about this. Mark is literally seen hugging Michael Strahan just after that game he broke the record, and NOW he confronts Brett Favre about it? He needs to let this pain go.

Strahan had 70 more sacks then Gastineau lol…how can he possibly be in Strahan level
Actually, Strahan only had 34 more sacks than Gastineau did, in 100 more starts. Gastineau averaged a sack per start and was better than Strahan at getting to the quarterback but didn’t play for nearly as long.
I'm not fan of Gastineau, but if you just look at his stats, it is kind of surprising he's not in the HoF.
@@Nic-z7vBut was far worse at tackling and in the run game than Strahan.

I don’t if I would have done that. But, if someone breaks my record, I want that person to earn it. I can respect that.
Trust me Mark, you’re not the only guy who Farve hurt. Talk to the state of Mississippi.
For sure, several of his co-conspirators have already pled guilty so why is this clown allowed to walk around as if nothing happened. We all heard him on tape asking if people will find out if this rich dude taking money from poor people could become public. He and Rodgers are great at killing their legacies, time to just go away
He didn't hurt anybody in mississippi...get real.
Thus far, innocent until proven otherwise. However, Favre is guilty of being naive, which is more than I can say of our lawmakers who openly give favors to lobbyists with our tax dollars and legislation! Where is the outrage to that!
@@pl1532 Terribly ironic, a highly naive comment about a rich con artist being naive.

I understand it's been 20+ years, and people forget... But Favre absolutely took a dive. Up 9 with two minutes left in the final game of the season, Favre walked over to Strahan before the play and talked to him. Then he audibles to a run left, doesn't hand the ball off, and instead runs right over to Strahan and slides down. It was disgraceful and obvious, go watch the broadcast and the announcers are shocked. After the game even the Packers' OL was pissed. It was a big deal, and was a black mark on Strahan's career for a long time. Gastineau is right to be pissed. Unfortunately he makes himself look like a fool here. But make no mistake, Favre knows what he did. He can play dumb all he wants, just like he played dumb in the courtroom after stealing money from the poor.
I love Strahan but that was disgraceful. That definitely shouldn't have been counted as a sack. He should've earned it.
lol ‘stealing money from the poor’ you people are clowns. He stole from a garbage, corrupt government
Gastineau is 100% right
If you've got a 22 sack season and you're not in the HOF, there's probably a good reason that's more than "Brett Favre took a dive to help Michael Strahan beat my record by half a sack."
I think the interaction is petty, and I’m not a Jets fan, but Gastineau should be in Canton in my opinion.
He has 99 sacks over his seven best seasons combined; that’s more than several Hall of Famers.

Everyone knows that if that sack record wasnt on the line, brett would have tried to get out of that sack, stepping up in the pocket, throwing the ball away or something. He gave up on the play
There's too much salt on the cheese. 🧂
That's a lot of salt and a lot of cheese!!!
I know this is a petty issue,but seriously....that was not a sack...He was already down before Strahan got to him ..That was not a sack...
The criteria for a sack was different back then. The game is always evolving. Believe it or not, there was a time when a catch was a catch and receivers didn't need to worry about having "control of the ball"
To make Brett Farve the good guy in 2023 is HOF worthy!
But it's almost 2025?

For him to do what to Brett Favre? Call him on his BS to his face? Way better on pretending he's cool with it- WAY better, be real
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.
Well said
Michael Strahan played much more recently and won arguably the most iconic Super Bowl ever. Write another thesis though defending this grown man's tantrum.
Bro STFU. They literally tell you the main reason they don’t like him is because he was a selfish player in a team sport and you still try to claim they’re just “jealous”?!?! You and Mark both need to grow up with that kind of thought process.
Gastineau is a hypocrite his first boxing match was a set up. his opponent took a dive, in an effort for Gastineau to eventually fight G Foreman for many $$$$$$$$$$ he was trying to fake a win record. he has no class
he may be in the wrong for holding this grudge all this time but you have to admit that it was pretty lame of Favre to hand the record to Strahan on a silver platter instead of Strahan earning it fair and square.
