"Fox NFL Sunday" Has Six Anchors as Strahan, Gap in His Teeth, Join Team

Okay so the deal happened around late June, but today I witnessed my first ever Michael Strahan, the broadcaster, sighting. And let me tell you, he was PIMP. Wearing a retro black army style shirt with shoulder straps, which was buttoned down to reveal his manly chest, Strahan was displaying charisma and style. Doing a cameo for ESPN's Brett Favre-aploozza today, the former Giant showed why he's the next coming of Barkley.

Not since the round mound of rebound became the round mound of sound have I so eagerly anticipated a player's retirement. Not because of a hatred for the Giants or Strahan as a player, but because of what lied ahead. We have gotten to see glimpses of the affable Mike in interviews and guest appearances on pregame shows throughout the years, and each time he has outshined anyone that preceded him. 

Normally, active players that appear on such shows come off as nervous, cold, and stiff. Being a top-notch commentator takes not only a winning personality, but experience at honing your craft. But Strahan was different. When he showed up, everyone else was dwarfed in comparison. He thinks off his feet, his smile is infectious, and his knowledge of the game is superb.

Strahan should easily make everyone forget how badly the Fox team missed James Brown last year. Strahan/Bradshaw will be the NFL's Barkley/Smith. The only difference is; Strahan is both smart and entertaining where as Barkley fills an entertainment need to Kenny Smith's excellent analysis. So as a fellow gaped toother like myself, (Although mine pales in comparison to his) I wish Strahan the best of luck in what should be a brilliant career in the booth.
