Part 4/9:

"I’m going to get my sack back," Gastineau quipped at the memorabilia show, echoing the frustration that had percolated within him for over two decades. Favre's response suggested a mix of indifference and disbelief—it seemed to him that there was no need for him to have booted out of the play at that moment, leading him straight into Strahan's waiting arms. Posting on social media, Favre dismissed suggestions of malice, stating that there was no intention on his part to hurt Gastineau's legacy and noted that he simply made a decision in the heat of the game without thinking it through.

This back-and-forth highlighted an underlying dynamic in the NFL where the competition between legends doesn't merely end on the field; it extends into a legacy war that can last for years.
