What could go wrong? I'm sure the place will be in great spirits by then. Michael Strahan reflects on his New York legacy The Giants are set to retire Strahan’s No. 92 during halftime against the Eagles on Sunday The former New York Giants defensive end is going to outer space in December as an honorary guest on the next flight conducted by Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos rocket company. And his jersey is being retired by the Giants during halftime of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Needless to say, it’s a big month for the Hall of Famer. Strahan played 15 seasons with the Giants and the team will retire his No. 92 on Sunday against a division opponent. A seven-time Pro Bowl selection, Strahan recorded 141.5 sacks with the Giants, the second-most in franchise history behind Lawrence Taylor. Strahan was also the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2001 when he set the single-season sacks record with 22.5. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. www.bigblueview.com/2021/11/25/22801268/michael-strahan-reflects-on-his-new-york-legacy |

Great, another embarrassing loss when honoring an all time great Giant. To the Eagles, no less.

I'm happy for Stray, but embarrassed for the organization. This probably is not a good week to break out the "stomp you out" gimmick. The place is going to be 50/50 Giants and Eagles fans.

And as usual, the team will play like ass & lose by 20+ to a team that they should have even more reason than most to wanna demolish after they blatantly laid down in the finale vs the Foreskins & gifted them the division & in turn KOed us from the playoffs. If we only win 2 more games the rest of the yr, let it be vs the damn Eagles!

For me personally, Strahan is my dog. Stray is my Giants guy. When I think Giants I think Strahan. LT obviously, LT made me choose Giants over Jets, but since I was born in 1981, it didn't have the same impact. Stray was my face of the Giants growing up.
I was there in 2008, front row, old Giants stadium, week 1, vs the Redskins, when Mike busted out of the Lombardi trophy at the 50. I was there early and one of the first inside. Geeked out. We were superbowl Champs. I was like 27. I was 5 and 9 when they won in 86 and 90. This was MY generations championship.
And I also was lucky enough to even meet and "guard" Strahan in a bar I worked at. Talk to him one on one. Shake his hand and tell him he was my favorite Giant (besides LT). He was hanging out with this guy named Peyton Manning who I also met who was ok I guess. But Strya wanst a dick. He listened to me as I told him " We gonna get one man. Eli is going to get one." No shit.
And we are going to get embarrassed by the damn Eagles while inducting him into the Giants HOF and retiring his #. The damn Jon Runyon Eagles. Damn it. Prove me wrong.
Shame on you Giants. Shame on Mara. You embarrassed all of us Giants fans and all of the past players foe the team.
Make it change.

I wasn't a huge fan of 92. It wasn't until 2007 that I actually began to like him. He was the poster-boy me player for the Giants during a pretty frustrating period of time for us Giants fans.
And then of course there was that ass-whipping we took at the hands of Carolina in the playoffs in 2005; Strahan made his television debut later that same evening, and was simply unfazed by that loss while I, like the dumb-ass fan I was, was still suffering over that loss.
I've always viewed Strahan as a very good player but I never saw him a great Giant. |

That stadium has more opposing teams fans every home game than any other team..including the Chargers I feel bad for the Chargers. I live in the area and hardly anyone up here wants them. As a matter of fact, there are more Raiders fans than Rams and Chargers fans combined in the area. Their stadium will be filled with opposing team fans forever. |

I've always viewed Strahan as a very good player but I never saw him a great Giant. Unfortunate. I always viewed him as one of the faces of this franchise. I love defensive players more than offensive though admittedly. Tuck is my #2. And I actually think David Diehl is my #3. I met him as well. Great "dude". Wish I could have drank a few beers with him. |
