Nearly 23 years after Michael Strahan took down Brett Favre in controversial fashion on Jan. 6, 2002 to break the NFL's single-season sack record, former New York Jets star Michael Gastineau aired out his grievances.

Many thought Favre made it too easy for Strahan to notch the record, including Gastineau, who told Favre at a memorabilia show in 2023 that he "hurt" him by doing that.
