Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated is reporting that Fox has hired former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan as an NFL studio analyst. Strahan will join the cast of FOX NFL Sunday, where he'll spar with analysts Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and Jimmy Johnson, along with host Curt Menefee. Also on FOX NFL Sunday: reporter Jay Glazer, who got the exclusive scoop when Strahan retired.
Strahan was one of the smartest and funniest players in the NFL over the last 15 years, and he'll no doubt be a good addition to the Fox pregame show cast. My biggest concern with the Fox show is that Strahan won't get a word in edgewise with Bradshaw, Long and Johnson around. Strahan is at his best when he simply sits down in front of a microphone and starts talking spontaneously. Let's hope Fox gives him the freedom to do that.

Yeah, I agree he is a really funny guy - even his smile makes you laugh with that gap in his teeth. But he is more of a one on one guy - I wonder how many stupid Eli Manning question she will be asked?
