Divocre Costs Star Big Money-You know Michael Strahan, that 'classy' defenseman that played for the New York Giants, you know the guy that had to pay his wife $15,000,000 because he video taped her sister in her guest bedroom and showering in her 'private' bathroom. This 'classy' NFL player has said that he wants to retire from football while seeking a more money from the Giants. Duh! This guy who wants more money has missed over 30% of the Giants games the last three years and he is set to make 4 million dollars this year. This guy is now 35 years old. Now Strahan claims that it is now about the money, but about passion. Yeah, for some blonde! Strahan is making a big mistake become the Giants are famous for not folding to player demands. Just look at the contract extention that John Mara gave head coach Tom Coughlin after the players nearly revolted last season. That was a message to the players that YOU don't run this team! We do! Strahan is being fined $14,288 per day and this is a guy that is now hurting for cash. He's NOT goiong to get it from the Giants and their fans really don't care, he has shown his true colors and New Yorkers are tired of this kind of crap. Strahan also has a deal with Fox to do an NFL weekly dairy but there is a catch, he can not retire. Look for him to cave and play for New York or for the Giants to trade him which actually is a possibility.
Maybe he yust doesn't want to come to camp and go through all those hot summer workouts. Either way, couldn't he have some class toward the organization and let them know his intentions to retire BEFORE the NFL draft. Just another spoiled, selfish athlete. I've lost a lot of respect for the former New York hero!
