Jon’s Strange Brew
Mark Gastineau confronts Brett Favre over the sack he gave Michael Strahan in 2001.
Anyway, credit to the true hero of this specific video: The guy with his face blurred out who defused the situation before we had two old ex-NFL players rolling around on the floor like a scene from Grumpy Old Men. I guess I can sort of see Gastineau's point, he's not a HOFer (yet?) and his claim to fame was that recor...

Nine years ago today: The Rodgers to Rodgers Hail Mary.
Nine years ago today! Nine years ago today I made my debut on the Sheboygan Scanner page: "Reports of a woman screaming, 31 (M) just watching the Packer game." Honestly this whole video feels like a different world. Rodgers still in his prime in Green Bay, the Lions still mired in the middle of decades of inc...
