MARSHALL VISITS FAVRE Jim Marshall missed the game on Sunday when Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre broke Marshall’s record of 270 consecutive starts. So Marshall visited practice on Friday to personally hand over the title.
“I told him I admired his career and was really happy that he was the one that is breaking that record,” Marshall said.
Marshall played defensive end for the Vikings from 1961 to 1979. He made a career out of carving up quarterbacks — so what does he think about a quarterback breaking his record?
“He’s the guy we were trying to hurt,” Marshall said with a chuckle. “Every defensive lineman that he plays against is trying to hurt him. That’s a tough way to earn a living.”
