Mark Gastineau not in Hall of Fame?/Beef with Favre over laying down for Strahan sack

Wasn't Green Bay protecting a nine point lead with 2:42 left? I can't find the broadcast of the game.

 

[Tainthappening]

Rumor out of Green Bay the Packers OL very upset with Favre over the play. They did not want to give up the record. Favre had called a play in the huddle and then "improvised" and rolled out to his right giving Strahan the easy sack.

Watching the video... it does appear there is a lot of truth to that rumor.

The Butthurt is strong with this one

yep...he looks worse than Favre.

Pretty chicken shit move by Gastineau not to shake the man's hand and bow over something like that. It's not Favres fault Gastineau isn't a HOFer. He should have tried playing the run as well

 

[Wazmankg]

Wow.. that sorry tub of goo really let himself go.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Gastineau's own teammates couldn't stand him. Selfish is an understatement.

 

[redseat]

Records are meant to be broken.... Period!

Did Gastuneau use roids?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

At least it wasn't as bad as what they did to ol' Bill Dauterive!

Does a bear shit in the woods? Man, him and Klecko were roided out of their minds lol.
I'll say this though, at least 80% of college football players use steroids. Heck, my son played college baseball at a couple of different schools and he said it was close to that number in baseball. I asked him about the football guys and he just laughed out loud

If that's the case...it is a bogus record. I would understand Gastineau's position.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

While I agree that Strahan's record is bogus as hell, Gastineau was a roided up selfish prick who disappeared when there wasn't a chance for him to get a sack so no, he doesn't belong anywhere near the HOF.

 

[Tech_God]

Holy Butthurt, Batman! He's blubbering worse that a seal pup that's getting clubbed.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Funny thing is.
The real record holder (unofficially obviously) is Harvey Martin
Who had 23 sacks in a 14 game season!
but in 77' Sacks weren't an official stat yet.

so Gastineau never really had the most sacks in a season.
Now as far as lost revenue. I can feel for him on that.
As far as his claim of being the sack master. He can pound sand!

According to Wikipedia, Gastineau has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, colon cancer, dementia, and Parkinson's. If this is accurate then I would cut him some slack.

And what Favre did was unacceptable in team sports.

Take away the colon cancer and he’s basically Biden on roids……

I was listening to Sports radio station in Wisconsin yesterday (Wilde and Tausch)... Mark Tauscher is former right tackle for Packers and the right tackle on the play in question.

They were discussing the game and he confirmed the rumor above... OL went into that game stating their goal was not to give up the record. They feel Brett improvised and did a favor for his buddy. The play was a run to the opposite direction.. TE was no match for Strahan when Favre rolled out that direction.

OL was not happy with Favre... even after the game. Wilde is reporter covering Packers 30+ years and he confirms that in all his years of covering Packers he only recalls couple other times he had seen the entire OL so upset after a game.
