Former Jets pass rusher Mark Gastineau confronted Brett Favre about NFL sack record grudge, ESPN doc shows

Former New York Jets defensive end Mark Gastineau's 20-plus year grudge against Brett Favre is on display in an upcoming ESPN documentary about "The New York Sack Exchange," the dominant defensive line in the 1980s that featured Gastineau, Marty Lyons, Joe Klecko and the late Abdul Salaam.

Gastineau is shown confronting Favre at a Chicago sports memorabilia show last year and accusing him of giving New York Giants pass rusher Michael Strahan an easy sack in January of 2002 to break Gastineau's single-season NFL record.

Favre and Gastineau shook hands and Favre mentioned how the two had met in the past.
