Mark Gastineau sure can hold a grudge.
Almost 23 years ago, Gastineau’s single-season sack record was broken by Michael Strahan, but it came in controversial fashion.
Favre’s Packers led Strahan’s Giants, 34-25, with less than three minutes to go.
Favre made a (quiet) handoff, it went right and Strahan was there.

With Gastineau present, Favre went down, and Strahan was credited with a sack, giving him 22½ on the season and passing Gastineau, who had held the record since 1984 with 22.
The Packers’ next two plays were runs, and they didn’t get the ball before the end of time, and it was Strahan’s only sack of the game.
It’s debatable whether Strahan’s record is legitimate, and Gastineau isn’t happy.
The upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 featuring Gastineau and his New York Sack Exchange held a meeting between Gastineau and Favre where Gastineau spoke his part.

“We finally met,” Gastineau said in the video. Favre begins to respond that he thought they had met before, while extending his arm for a handshake, which Gastineau ignores.

“Yeah, right. When you fell for him,” Gastineau said. “I’ll give my bag back. I’ll give my bag back, man.”
“Maybe you can hurt me,” Favre said.
“Well, I don’t care. You hurt me. You hurt me, Brett,” Gastineau replied. “He took away my record. Anyone will tell you that Brett Favre took a dive. You know that. You know it. You know it. Everybody knows it.”
