Favre v Gastineau

[bigpern23]

Saw this mentioned on the football thread, but thought it was interesting enough to break out into its own. The footage of Mark Gastineau confronting Brett Favre at a memorabilia show accusing him of taking a dive to give Strahan the single-season sack record was kind of sad, but I thought it was interesting to see how upset he still was.

Favre X’d a pretty good response today (that I’m sure he didn’t write, but whatever).

Maybe Favre should have asked for advice on prison?

Where’s Jackie Slater when you need him?

Thanks for the share @bigpern23, but I just chuckle regarding Favre-Gastineau.
Couple of tremendous scholars.

I have incredible resentment against Mark for his roughing the passer penalty and his sack dancing rather than picking up a fumble. But he ain’t wrong. And **** Favre.

Welfare scammer versus a wife beater. Don’t ask me to pick a favorite.

 

[playthrough]

Yeah, screw them both. Gastineau got, what, 17 years out of that record? That's pretty good and all NFL records are made to be broken especially as the league keeps adding games.

I would encourage them to settle this with knives. Guns are ok, too.

Winner becomes Assistant SecDef

Don't know what those guys are arguing about.

Al "Bubba" Baker is the all-time single season sack leader.

Go Lions!

 

[Inky_Wretch]

That’s two credible accusations of fraud against Favre.

Butter knives.

Make it last.

Joining in to say both of them can go **** themselves. Together or separately.

But I do look forward to that 30 for 30 on the NY Sack Exchange.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Gastineau knows all about taking dives. That’s what his opponents did throughout his boxing career.

 

[Songbird]

They scripted that for any 30 for 30.

That’s two credible accusations of fraud against Favre.

He was only committing the fraud so that we'd memory hole his creepy behavior toward women, though!

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

They scripted that for any 30 for 30.

My thoughts too.

TWICE.

Always wondered what the complete opposite of the Pacino/De Niro diner showdown in Heat would look like.
