'''Michael Anthony Strahan''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|r|eɪ|h|æ|n}} {{Respell|STRAY|han}}; born November 21, 1971)<ref name=biography.com>{{cite web|url=https://www.biography.com/athlete/michael-strahan|title=Michael Strahan (1971–)|publisher=[[Biography.com]]|access-date=March 11, 2020|archive-date=March 11, 2020|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200311181948/https://www.biography.com/athlete/michael-strahan|url-status=live}}</ref> is an American television host and former professional [[American football|football]] [[defensive end]] who played in the [[National Football League]] (NFL) for 15 seasons with the [[New York Giants]]. A dominant pass rusher, Strahan set the record for most NFL single season [[quarterback sack]]s (22.5, which was matched by [[T. J. Watt]] in 2021) and helped the Giants win [[Super Bowl XLII]] in his final season in 2007. He was inducted into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] in 2014.

Since retiring from the NFL, Strahan became a media personality. He appears as a football analyst on ''[[Fox NFL Sunday]]'', and served as a co-host of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[Good Morning America]]'' as well as ''[[Live with Kelly and Mark|Live! with Kelly and Michael]]'' with [[Kelly Ripa]] from 2012 to 2016, for which he won two [[Daytime Emmy Award]]s. He has also made guest appearances on game shows and other programs. In 2014, he became a regular contributor on ''Good Morning America'', and in 2016 the network announced that Strahan would be leaving ''Live!'' to join ''GMA'' full-time. He also hosts the current incarnation of the ''[[Pyramid (franchise)|Pyramid]]'' game show for ABC.

==Early life==
Strahan was born in [[Houston]]. He is the nephew of retired NFL defensive lineman [[Art Strahan]]. When Strahan was 9, his family moved to Army post BFV (Benjamin Franklin Village) in [[Mannheim]], [[West Germany]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Braswell |first=Sean |date=July 26, 2018 |title=What Michael Strahan learned from his youth in Germany |url=https://www.ozy.com/true-and-stories/what-michael-strahan-learned-from-his-youth-in-germany/88298/ |website=www.ozy.com |access-date=April 2, 2022 |language=en-US |archive-date=April 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220403044716/https://www.ozy.com/true-and-stories/what-michael-strahan-learned-from-his-youth-in-germany/88298/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Strahan attended Mannheim American High School (MAHS), a [[Department of Defense Dependents Schools|US Department of Defense Dependent High School]], and played linebacker for the Mannheim Bison, the school's football team.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9081 | title= Strahan aint even start football until senior year in high school! | work=Fantasyfootballcafe.com | access-date=July 7, 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110710224135/http://www.fantasyfootballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9081 | archive-date=July 10, 2011 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

The summer before Strahan's senior year of high school, his father sent him to live with his uncle Art in Houston so he could attend [[Westbury High School (Houston)|Westbury High School]]. Strahan played one season of football, which was enough for him to get a scholarship offer from [[Texas Southern University]].

==College career==
Strahan followed in the footsteps of his uncle Art, who also played defensive end at Texas Southern University. Strahan was so dominant he drew double teams, and TSU coaches dubbed Strahan double teaming "Strahan rules".<ref>ESPN College Football Encyclopedia: The Complete History of The Game, Black College Football-Texas Southern</ref> By his junior season, Strahan began to turn himself into an NFL prospect.<ref name="z849">{{cite web | last=Loveday | first=Mike | title=Loveday: Unknown prep, big-time pro | website=ESPN.com | date=September 18, 2008 | url=https://www.espn.com/highschool/rise/football/news/story?id=3595259 | access-date=December 25, 2024}}</ref> As a senior with the [[Texas Southern Tigers football|Texas Southern Tigers]], Strahan was selected to the [[All-America]] first-team by The Poor Man's Guide to the NFL Draft, The Sheridan Network, Edd Hayes Black College Sports Report and the [[Associated Press]]. He recorded 68 tackles with a school-record 19 quarterback sacks and 32 tackles totaling 142 yards in losses. He was also selected Division I-AA Defensive Player of the Year by The Poor Man's Guide and Edd Hayes Black College Sports Report. In 1992, he was named First-team All-[[Southwestern Athletic Conference]] (SWAC) and the SWAC's Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. He was also named Black College Defensive Player of the Year. As a junior in 1991, Strahan led the SWAC with 14.5 quarterback sacks. His 41.5 career sacks is a Texas Southern record.<ref name="tsu.edu">{{cite web |url=http://www.tsu.edu/pdffiles/athletics/mens-sports/football/media/2007FootballMediaGuide.pdf |title=2007 table of contents and media information.indd |access-date=July 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130616080933/http://www.tsu.edu/pdffiles/athletics/mens-sports/football/media/2007FootballMediaGuide.pdf |archive-date=June 16, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He was inducted into the [[Black College Football Hall of Fame]] in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=All Inductees|website=BlackCollegeFootballHOF.org|url=https://www.blackcollegefootballhof.org/inductees/alphabetical|access-date=February 25, 2021|archive-date=February 2, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200202222806/https://www.blackcollegefootballhof.org/inductees/alphabetical|url-status=dead}}</ref> He was inducted into the [[College Football Hall of Fame]] in 2025.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://footballfoundation.org/news/2025/1/15/nff-announces-all-star-2025-college-football-hall-of-fame-class.aspx | title=NFF Announces All-Star 2025 College Football Hall of Fame Class | publisher=[[National Football Foundation]] | date=January 15, 2025 | access-date=January 16, 2025}}</ref>

}}

===Early career===
Strahan was selected in the second round by the [[New York Giants]] in 1993.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1993 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1993/draft.htm |access-date=March 31, 2023 |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> He played in only six games due to injuries, and missed the Giants' two playoff games that season. After a few unremarkable seasons, Strahan had a breakout season in 1997, recording 14 sacks. He was voted into his first Pro Bowl and was also named First-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. In 1998, Strahan continued his success, racking up 15 sacks and being voted into his second Pro-Bowl and All-Pro team. In week 8 of the 1999 season, Strahan returned an interception 44 yards for a game-winning overtime touchdown in a 23–17 win over the [[1999 Philadelphia Eagles season|Philadelphia Eagles]].<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles - October 31st, 1999 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199910310phi.htm |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |access-date=July 19, 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

===Middle career===
Strahan was a member of the [[2000 New York Giants season|2000 Giants]] and participated in their playoff run to [[Super Bowl XXXV]]. Despite coming off a strong [[NFC Championship Game]], where the Giants defeated the [[Minnesota Vikings]] 41–0, the [[Baltimore Ravens]] proved too strong for the Giants and they were handily defeated by a score of 34–7. In 2002, Strahan and the Giants negotiated on a new contract. He said the team failed to negotiate after he turned down its first contract proposal. He accused the front office of not trying to be competitive in 2002. Four days later, running back [[Tiki Barber]] ripped him for being selfish and greedy. The two had a heated phone conversation that night, and Strahan said they no longer speak. It also surfaced in the spring that the Giants explored trading Strahan, after which he suggested that management had orchestrated the contract flap to make him look bad. The team denied that.<ref>{{cite web|last=Best|first=Neil|title=Center Of Attention And Tension|url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/fl-xpm-2002-07-30-0207300130-story.html|work=[[South Florida Sun-Sentinel]]|access-date=January 18, 2022}}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Few defensive ends in the NFL were more dominant than Strahan from 1997 to 2005. He was named the 2001 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was a two-time NFC Defensive Player of the Year (in 2001 and 2003). Throughout the greater part of the 2004 season, Strahan was injured with a torn pectoral muscle, which limited him to only four sacks. He rebounded in 2005, returning to the Pro Bowl, with his protégé, [[Osi Umenyiora]], as the two combined for 26 sacks while anchoring the Giants' defense. Strahan was considered by many coaches, peers, and experts as the standard, and best at his position during the prime of his career (1997–2005). He was also regarded as one of if not the best defensive end ever at defending the run, which made people and peers view him as a complete defensive end.{{According to whom|date=September 2021}}

====2001: Set single season sack record====
In the 2001 season, Strahan set the NFL record for [[Quarterback sack|sacks]] in a single season with 22.5, the highest tally since it was made an official statistic in 1982, breaking New York Jet [[Mark Gastineau]]'s total of 22. In the final game of the season on January 6, 2002, with Strahan coming free, Green Bay Packers quarterback [[Brett Favre]] slid down and Strahan fell on top of Favre for an easy sack. After the play, during the ensuing celebration, many of the Giants' defensive players patted Favre on the helmet. At least one observer accused Favre of deliberately falling to ensure that Strahan would get the record.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2002/01/07/dbcol07a.htm |title=When the record fell, shame rose |publisher=Recordonline.com |date=January 7, 2002 |access-date=July 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051111050023/http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2002/01/07/dbcol07a.htm |archive-date=November 11, 2005 |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, Packers right tackle [[Mark Tauscher]] claimed it was just a bad play and "we wanted to avoid that sack."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=1892431 |title=Strahan's record sack still a sore subject|date=September 30, 2004|access-date=January 18, 2022|work=ESPN}}</ref> Gastineau later confronted Favre about it at an autograph signing in 2023 while [[ESPN]] was filming a ''[[30 for 30]]'' documentary on the [[New York Sack Exchange]], leading to a $25 million lawsuit by Gastineau, though by that point [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] linebacker [[T. J. Watt]] had tied the record uncontroversially.<ref>https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mark-gastineau-sues-espn-for-25-million-over-brett-favre-clip#:~:text=Published%20March%2013%2C%202025%2010,that%20they%20did%20shake%20hands.</ref> Strahan himself wasn't involved in the dispute.

===Later career===
On October 23, 2006, with a sack on [[Drew Bledsoe]] in a ''Monday Night Football'' game against the [[Dallas Cowboys]], Strahan tied [[Lawrence Taylor]] for the Giants franchise record for most career sacks with 132{{frac|1|2}} (this total does not include 9{{frac|1|2}} sacks accrued by Taylor in his rookie season of 1981, the year before sacks became an official NFL statistic). It was the last sack Strahan would get that season, as two weeks later he suffered a [[Lisfranc fracture]] in a game against the [[Houston Texans]] and would miss the remainder of the season and the playoffs.

It seemed as though Strahan would retire after the 2006 season when he did not report to Giants training camp and missed the entire preseason, but the 14-year veteran opted to return for one final year. His 15th and final season proved to be the Giants' first championship since 1990. On September 30, 2007, he sacked [[Donovan McNabb]] from the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] on [[NBC Sunday Night Football|Sunday Night Football]], increasing his career total to 133.5, setting a new franchise record. On Sunday, February 3, 2008, at the [[State Farm Stadium|University of Phoenix Stadium]] in [[Glendale, Arizona]], Strahan had two tackles and one sack in [[Super Bowl XLII]], in what is considered one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. Bolstered by a strong defense and unrelenting pass rush, the Giants went on to win the game 17–14, over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, giving Strahan a Super Bowl win. His saying was "Stomp you out!"  His final act as a Giant was his acceptance of the [[Vince Lombardi Trophy]] alongside [[John Mara]], [[Steve Tisch]] and [[Tom Coughlin]].

On June 9, 2008, Strahan retired from the NFL.<ref>{{cite web |last=Branch |first=John |title=Super Bowl Ring in Hand, Strahan Says He's Retiring |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/sports/football/10strahan.html |website=The New York Times |access-date=January 18, 2022 |date=June 10, 2008}}</ref>

Strahan retired with 141.5 career sacks (fifth all-time when he retired), 854 career [[Tackle (football move)|tackles]], four career [[interception]]s, 24 [[fumble|forced fumbles]], and three career [[touchdown]]s in 200 games over a 15-year career (through the 2007 season). He was also named to the Pro Bowl roster seven times.

On February 2, 2013, Strahan failed to be voted into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]];<ref>{{cite news|title=Parcells, Carter finally make Pro Football Hall of Fame|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/02/02/nfl-hall-of-fame-announcement/1886453/ |work=USA Today |access-date=February 2, 2013 |last=Corbett |first=Jim |date=February 2, 2013}}</ref> 2013 was his first year of eligibility.

[[Super Bowl XLVIII]], played in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey]], was dedicated to Strahan upon his induction into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] in 2014. Strahan performed the ceremonial [[coin toss]], accompanied by the other members of that year's PFHOF class. Strahan also commented on the trophy presentation for Fox, since [[Terry Bradshaw]] (who had commented on the trophy presentations for Fox's previous Super Bowl broadcasts) was mourning the death of his father. On November 3, 2014, he was presented his Hall of Fame ring at halftime of a New York Giants–[[Indianapolis Colts]] game by the Giants. In attendance were 100 former Giants players as well as former teammates of Strahan's.

On November 28, 2021, the Giants retired his number 92 at halftime of their game against the [[Philadelphia Eagles]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32737520/new-york-giants-retire-michael-strahan-number-half-ceremony|title=New York Giants retire Michael Strahan's number in halftime ceremony|last=Raanan|first=Jordan|date=November 28, 2021|website=ESPN|access-date=December 1, 2021}}</ref>

On May 6, 2025, Strahan announced that he was looking to become a minority shareholder of his former team, the New York Giants.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 6, 2025 |title=Michael Strahan Eyes Minority Ownership Stake in New York Giants |url=https://ussportingnews.com/michael-strahan-eyes-minority-ownership-stake-in-new-york-giants |access-date=May 7, 2025 |website=www.ussportingnews.com |language=en}}</ref>

On June 24, 2008, it was announced that Strahan would be joining the ''[[Fox NFL Sunday]]'' pregame show, alongside host [[Curt Menefee]] and analysts [[Terry Bradshaw]], [[Howie Long]], and [[Jimmy Johnson (American football coach)|Jimmy Johnson]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nfl.com/news/recently-retired-strahan-joins-fox-s-pregame-show-09000d5d808f9d4c|title=Recently retired Strahan joins FOX's pregame show|access-date=January 18, 2022|date=July 26, 2012|website=[[National Football League]]}}</ref>

When Fox acquired the rights to broadcast ''[[Thursday Night Football]]'' in 2018, it was decided to have Strahan host the ''Fox NFL Thursday'' pregame show, along with Bradshaw and Long. ''Fox NFL Thursday'' is televised live from New York City instead of from the ''Fox NFL Sunday'' studios in Los Angeles so it can accommodate Strahan's other live shows (see below), since a coast-to-coast commute on a Thursday night/early Friday morning would be impractical.<ref>{{cite news|title=Fox moves NFL pregame to New York City to accommodate Michael Strahan's schedule|url=https://www.newsday.com/sports/media/thursday-night-football-fox-strahan-1.20649819|author=Neil Best|work=[[Newsday]]|date=August 24, 2018}}</ref>
