Strahan and Favre can hug again

Congratulations to Michael Strahan for he is doing what every player dreams of – he’s going out on top.

And ironically he’s going out the same year as Brett Favre, who looked ridiculous in taking a dive when Strahan broke the single-season sack record.

Strahan’s retirement seemed more and more likely as the weeks passed – I’d almost started to believe he really didn’t even want to play last year. But he goes out with a ring and still at or near the top of his game. And despite weird ass teeth, he is extremely well-spoken and has a good personality for television – which is where he likely will end up.

While he goes out after having won the Super Bowl I’d forgotten just how good the rest of his career was. He went to seven pro bowls and had 141.5 career sacks, 140.1 not counting the Favre dive.

What better way to go out. Congratulations, for real, to Strahan. One might wonder if he and Favre might not get together and re-live old times sometime this fall. More power to them – we at Zoneblitz have mocked Favre and we still think his soap opera-ish offseasons have gotten old. But the NFL is losing two extremely interesting personalities heading into the 2008 season and they will be hard to replace.
