The Illuminated Donkey

Just watched Michael Strahan break Mark Gastineau's sack record, on a play where Brett Favre basically wandered around for a few seconds and fell down so Strahan could get the "sack." It brought to mind nothing more than the King of the Hill episode "Bills Are Made to be Broken," where Arlen's cross-town football rival allows the injured Ricky Suggs to limp into the end zone untouched to break the hapless Bill's school touchdown record, as Bill stood by in shock. I know Strahan's well-liked and all, as opposed to the strike-breaking, repeat offender Gastineau, but frankly, this sort of thing annoys me and cheapens the record, though nobody on the field seemed to care.
