You have a stage full of NFL legends behind you, and you cheapen the moment by having some jackass meathead induct you.
Stray has a habit of doing things like this. Remember his interview during the trophy presentation right after SB42? Guy waits 15 years to get there, and the first public comment he makes is to trash the media. Followed by his "stomp you out" crap at City Hall after the parade a few days later. Doesn't exactly rise to the occasion.
Glazer has been one of his best friends for years. Â
have some kind of tie-in w/Disney-ESPN-ABC that that Master Marketing Mouse-y company was trying to take advantage of?
I would have thought maybe he'd have TC do it, since we've all seen the story about the early years, then the turnaround. And it's not like TC is not going to be in the neighborhood that weekend.
I somehow just lost a little respect for Mr Strahan.
But it's still quite lame. Peyton Manning is friends with Jim Nantz, but it'd be ridiculous for Jim Nantz to induct him into the HOF. This is the highest honor in pro sports, not Friday night at Just Jake's in Montclair.
Maybe, just maybe, Strahan and Glazer are actually friends, while Peyton and Nantz are just work-friends. We don't know the relationship. For all anyone knows, Glazer could be godfather to his kids.
and saw some interviews and videos. The two are actually best friends and Glazer is in the business.
On a side, I never understood how Glazer had a meteoric rise to fame on the national level being a mediocre beat writer and not even a columnist. But, for whatever reason he did and he and Strahan are very close.
I thought everyone knew Glazer is his best friend Â

He's one of Strahan's best friends but I guess he's supposed to pick someone he doesn't like or respect that you will. You should email him. I'm sure he he will change his mind as soon as he hears from you.
I have seen nothing in his past as far as reporting and the way he conducts himself in interviews and his job as an NFL insider that would suggest he is a meathead. I think he is credible and there is nothing phoney about him.
I forgot the name of it. But he had Strahan on all the time.
Glazer Bio:
Quote:
Glazer began his writing career as a reporter at the New York Post in New York City. He worked his way up within the Post organization by developing access to players and agents. He also wrote articles for the Giants Newsweeklyproduced by longtime New York Giants correspondent Dave Klein. Among his first sources were NFL agent Jimmy Sexton's New York representative, Peter Flach. Through Flach he became friendly with New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn and New York Jets cornerback Aaron Glenn. Through Sehorn he became close with current Hall of Fame Fox analyst and former Giant, Michael Strahan.
Strahan said this all along. If he got in the Hall Â
No. Everyone's heard 'Blurred lines'. Only a super small subset of humanity knows who Stray's bestie is.
And being upset by who MS chose to him induct him is silly, regardless. It's his party. His day to remember. He gave us a few already.
I can imagine the future outcry on other football boards, tho. More pro-New York media bias. Glazer even inducted Strahan into the Hall! When everyone here knows that all of everything ever is actually biased against the Giants. But as long as everyone's having fun…
my comments about Glazer were over the top - he seems like a good dude and is obviously a close friend. Don't really care all that much, but I just find it odd for THIS occasion not to have a family member or Coughlin, etc. But Stray has certainly earned the right to of what he wants.
but I still don't understand the vitriol for Strahan you exhibited in your posts. You were really put off by his post-game and stomp-out speech? Why?
I'm not a huge Strahan fan, but there's no vitriol. I just can't imagine Derek Jeter or Peyton Manning acting that way in those situations. The "stomp you out" stuff is no big deal, but the Super Bowl post game rant, I thought, was beneath him. He had a history of saying and doing dumb shit, and a lot of that has been forgotten in recent years - the ridiculous Fassel comments after his mom died, berating a reporter with a mouthful of peanut butter, etc. He seems to have matured quite a bit, to his credit. Anyway, not trying to shit on his big accomplishment, it's well deserved and a year too late.

You're entitled to your opinions, but anyone who is "not a huge Strahan fan" has something seriously wrong with them.
Even my friend who is a devout Eagles fan admires him as a player and appreciates him as a personality.
If you're a Giants fan and don't love Strahan as a player, person, and public figure, it says a lot about you.
Other tidbits:
-Only 30 NFL players have recorded 100(official) sacks in their careers-Mike is ranked 5th all-time(141.5)
-He beat out 58 other competitors for the guest host gig with Kelly

Strahan does stay busy though. I saw a commercial where he's hosting a kid's award show on Nickelodeon.
I would have thought maybe he'd have TC do it, since we've all seen the story about the early years, then the turnaround. And it's not like TC is not going to be in the neighborhood that weekend.

So you lost a little respect for him, or he didn't rise up to the occasion enough for you.. Boo hoo....I'm sure he gives a fuck.
He played all those years at a Hall of Fame level, and was Captain of my favorite team!!
Screw you guys.
Not surprised by the choice, but I wanted TC to do it.
The fuck?
Maybe, just maybe, Strahan and Glazer are actually friends, while Peyton and Nantz are just work-friends. We don't know the relationship. For all anyone knows, Glazer could be godfather to his kids.

With the Giants, probably.... but how would Strahan know about other teams?

Who are any of you to have any say or opinion on who a hall of famer should choose to have introduce them?
