  1. He was paid to rush the QB ! And he did that as well as anyone to play this game ! For that, he belongs in the HOF !!

  2. If I was Farve, I would do everything I could to make sure I didn’t get sacked. The hell with the sack record, I would think. I never would take a dive for anyone.

  3. Gastineau isn't in the HOF because he acted like a jerk every time he sacked someone. He's also being shunned because of his stupid appearance in The Bengals "Walk Like an Egyptian" video.

  4. This incident doesn't make me dislike Brett Favre. Gastineau did the same thing with his fake boxing career. He had fighter take dives.

  5. You guys need to stop acting like sports is everything. To me that is sad. It's just a game. Yes I understand it's importance to those who care but if that is all that you have in your life then I feel sorry for you. Family and health is much more important then any sport or stat.

  6. It makes zero sense to me? Commentators are felling sorry for him . If I was Brett I’d b just as confused. Still makes no sense!

  7. Maybe is Mark had not stopped playing after 7 games in the regular season he could have extended his # of sacks. He quit on his teammates and on the Jets. You quit on yourself.

  8. Reggie White and Mark Gatineau were two completely different defensive ends, Reggie was a run stopper and had many tackles for loss… team player and Gatineau was ONE dimensional and was not a team player he was all about himself.:.

  9. I don't know how anyone can defend what Favre did. It was an absolute joke. Imagine a pitcher serving up the record breaking home run, a goalie letting in a record breaking goal on purpose. What happened to integrity in sports?

  10. Records were made to be broken so suck it up buttercup. If this is your identity you have bigger problems going on.

  11. The bottom line is that Gastineau has brain damage (CTE) and we're seeing it manifesting itself in his odd behavior.

  12. His teammates, particularly Lyons and Klecko wouldn't vote for him for HoF. That says something. He played with those guys, side by side for all of the 1980's.

  13. I remember when the first report came out the second report came out The giants d line went to the G bay offensive line and told Farve to let Strahan get the sack. Farve and Strahan should of took acting classes b4 that So called sack not after look at the Giants players they r tapping Farves helmet Thanking him Crap sack

  14. Al bubba Baker holds the record with 23 in 16 game rookie season. Deacon Jones 22 in 14 games. Time to put Gastineau, Mark Clayton, Jack Tatum, Lester Hayes HOF

  15. NFL HATED GASTENEAU BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTS THAT BROKE OUT AFTER THEY WARNED HIM ABOUT PERFORMING HIS NOTORIOUS SACK DANCES AFTER HE SACKED THE QUARTERBACK.HE WAS ENTERTAINING
