Favre took to X nearest Tuesday to “clear the air on the footage.”
“Back in 2002, when Michael Strahan sacked me at the end of a game that we had wrapped up, I was in no way trying to hurt Mark Gastineau. I was trying to close out a game and squeeze the last bit of fun out of a hard-fought game,” Favre started.
“I booted out of a run thinking it would be wide open, saw Strahan standing there and ducked down. The game was over. There was no need for me to do anything spectacular. It probably wasn’t Michael’s best sack or tackle for loss. In a different game or situation, I would have made a bigger effort to avoid the sack or TFL. But at no point was I thinking about hurting Gastineau.

“Possibly it crossed my thoughts to backup Strahan. I didn’t assume it via. That wasn’t my specialty on the year. I simply sought after to have amusing and compete. Looking back, I know how Gastineau feels.”
Favre then wrote about how Gastineau’s value may have diminished not being the “Sack King,” but, “I had negative manner of realizing that after.
“There was no malice on my part. Mark was a great player. My understanding is he’s a great guy and a fun teammate, a guy who played with the kind of joy and passion I tried to mimic. I understand his frustration, but I’m not his enemy,” Favre persevered.
“A while back, he saw me at a card show and got his frustration off his chest. It’s not the kind of moment that should be filmed and released. It was a private moment of frustration between two old football warriors… I hope this controversy brings attention to just how great Mark Gastineau was. He belongs in Canton.”
