Strahan to Fox ... update

| | Comments (0) |

sp_strahan.jpgIt was Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer who broke the news earlier this month that Michael Strahan had passed on a $4 million salary and retired after 15 seasons with the New York Giants.
So why shouldn't it be Fox who scoops him up as its next studio analyst?
They will.
Fox announced a press conference for tomorrow morning to "make a major announcement regarding its 2008 NFL coverage," with Fox Sports chairman David Hill and president Ed Goren on the call.
If this isn't an announcement for Strahan's hiring, they'll have some explaining to do.

UPDATE:
SI.com's Richard Deitsch says he has confirmed the Strahan hiring by Fox, and as a studio analyst since he lives in Hermosa Beach and will need only a short hop to the L.A. studios on a weekly basis.

Interestingly, Fox is willing to bring Strahan on after he had a scrap on the air with Best Damn Sports Show co-host Tom Arnold on the set:

Aw, that was only an April Fool's joke. But a good one. If only Strahan really smoked Arnold.
