Gaah! Michael Strahan's Fingers Will Haunt Your Dreams

Emma Carmichael — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:30:00 EST

Given the nature of our content this week, we were looking for videos of golden retriever puppies prancing about in a field to end the day here, but then we came across this, and we decided to horrify you once again. It's no secret that Michael Strahan (and plenty of other pro football players) suffer from mangled hand syndrome; it's just a surprise to see the mangled hand so prominently displayed in a grocery store advertisement for Vaseline.

Any comedy show staring some who has played for the New York Giants in automatically funny, of course, but what exactly can you expect from Michael Strahan's new Fox sitcom? I've just seen the first trailer, so let's break it down, shall we? More »

It's The Michael Strahan Show!

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:00:17 EDT

I was just thinking the other day that primetime television needs more shows featuring NFL sack leaders in key acting roles. And look at that! It happened. Michael Strahan is the newest member of the Fox family. More »

A.J. Daulerio — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:00:01 EST

Well, Jay Glazer looks positively super-fun. Watch Fox Sports' intrepid NFL reporter celebrate 2009 as he perfectly executes the Glazer/Strahan sandwich on the former Mrs. Eddie Murphy. After the jump, of course. More »

Michael Strahan's Life Became A Whole Lot Easier In More Ways Than One

Clay Travis — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:45:20 EDT

Perhaps this is what he meant when he said he was enjoying retirement and declined to rejoin the Giants. You'll recall that Strahan and his wife entered into a rather stormy split. Included, among other things, were allegations that Strahan was gay. In the end, Strahan's wife, Jean Strahan, received a judicial award of $18,000 a month in child support for the couple's twin daugthers. To be fair, the girls are currently three years old. And everyone with kids knows it's impossible to make do with twin three-year olds for anything less than 10k a month. Everyone except for the New Jersey appellate court, who found this amount of money both exorbitant and unfairly apportioned against Strahan. In pertinent part the appellate court found that the trial court did not make the appropriate fact findings to support raising Strahan's child support from the statutorily prescribed $35,984. In doing so, the trial court cited a seminal law school theory—the three pony rule. Namely, that "no child, no matter how wealthy the parents, needs to be provided [with] more than three ponies." I missed this damn question on the bar exam. I thought it was two ponies. But why did Jean Strahan need that much money for her twin daughters. Well, thanks to Law.com we can see what she needs to get by:

Those "needs," wrote Appellate Division Judge Lorraine Parker, included the children giving their nanny a 10-day vacation in Jamaica; diamond jewelry for their grandmother; $30,000 yearly for landscaping expenses; $36,000 a year for "equipment and furnishings"; and $3,000 yearly for audio visual equipment. Jean set their clothing needs at $27,000 a year, since the children needed new outfits every time they saw their father and one of them demanded a new purse every time she left the house.

$27k a year for three-year old twins? Right now some poor three-year old future boyfriend/husband is playing in his sandbox and has no idea what a holy hell his adult years are going to be. Grin now, little boy, grin now. Three Pony Rule invoked to cut former NFL player's monthly 18k child support [Law.com] More »

Goodbye To The Gap-Toothed Wonder

Will Leitch — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:38:10 EDT

We don't know about you, but we'll kind of miss Michael Strahan, who retired from the NFL today, probably because he thinks coming off a title might make him John Elway. (It won't.) More »

The Giants Celebrate Their Title An Hour Away (In Traffic) From Their Home Field

Tons of people headed to lower Manhattan today to cheer on a team from New Jersey. It's nice to see Eli so nattily dressed. That guy's gonna get cool yet! More »

Strahan Would Totally Tap That

rickchand — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:35:43 EST

At first glance it's moral support from an unlikely source: Giants defensive end Michael Strahan says that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson should be given their space. Leave Romo alone! He's a human being! Etc., etc. But you and I know what the real deal is here. Hey Tony, if you ever get tired of her, please don't forget a certain large, gap-toothed individual who took it easy on you in the '08 playoffs. Yes, Strahan wants some of that. Quite a bold move for someone whose body odor is offensive to squirrels. More »

PIck Through The Remnants Of Michael Strahan's Life

Leitch — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:00:19 EDT

We have stayed up many late nights, hoping, praying, that somehow, Giants defensive lineman Tooth McTootherson and his wife /ex-wife / wife Jean Strahan could figure out a way to solve their marriage. It's like you just can't have faith in the institution anymore! As if accusations of gay sex with prominent African American advice counselors breaks up a marriage or something. Sheesh. More »

Buy Yourself A Piece Of Michael Strahan... Cheap

So rarely do the worlds millionaire athletes and yard sales collide. But, you know, it's not every day that athletes get cleaned out in a divorce quite like Michael Strahan did. And this weekend, at her (formerly his) mansion, Jean Strahan sold a bunch of his shit. More »

And Michael Strahan Got... JACKED UP!

mjdeadspin — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 17:15:00 EST

The offensive linemen who line up against Michael Strahan on Sundays just got a whole lot of new ammunition for trash tralk. And Strahan can't run from it, either, because he's going to have to play football for a loooong time. He can't afford not to. More »

Please, Someone, Make Strahan Just Go Away

Leitch — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:45:37 EST

All right, we'll say it: We absolutely do not believe Michael Strahan when he does anything anymore. Everything the guy does seems so calculated, so media-savvy, so ~~gay~~ dramatic ... well, we just don't buy it anymore. If this guy played in Jacksonville, no one would know about him, or care.

Michael Strahan's Real "Alternative Lifestyle"

Leitch — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 13:45:06 EDT

Last week's silly Michael Strahan could be gay rumor — started by an estranged wife in the midst of divorce proceedings — has been pretty much discredited by everyone, including the woman who made the allegation. But if you weren't convinced enough, a reader sends in a story of seeing Strahan and his alleged paramour Dr. Ian Smith. Here's an excerpt. More »

The Best Damn... April Fools Joke.

Okay, I was had, and I am dumb A couple of readers have written in (and my thanks to them) to tell me that the "fight" between Michael Strahan and Tom Arnold on The Best Damn Sports Show was, in fact, an April Fools Joke. My congratulations to everyone involved. I didn't think those guys were capable of such a quality ruse. More »

Best Damn Sports Show Fight

Leitch — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 13:13:00 EST

So if you missed Friday night's episode of The Best Damn Sports Show (and how could you?), check about the above video. Tom Arnold and Michael Strahan get into kind of a little sissy chair fight. And Michael Strahan did not win. He's on the ground making noises like he's hurt, cursing at Arnold, who's just sitting there, being sorta restrained by Rodney Peete. Strahan sounds like he's in pain. I think Rob Dibble may have actually hurt him. More »
