There is a god-Strahan retiring
The 10 year countdown of his relevance as a sports commentator starts NOW!

The New York Giants will begin their road to a defense of their Super Bowl title when mini-camp begins on Wednesday. That defense, however, will be attempted without the services of their team leader, Michael Strahan.

Strahan has told FOXSports.com exclusively that he has decided to retire.

After a lengthy and — for Strahan — up-and-down decision-making process, Strahan said he's hanging up the cleats and wanted to finalize a decision before his teammates gathered for their mini-camp. For months, fans, other players, and his own teammates have wondered whether he would return or not.

"It was important that my teammates knew which way I was going before they got on the field to start the work to defend our title," the team's all-time sack leader said from California. "It's time. I'm done."

1. Sad day in Giant land. Happy day for the rest of the NFC East
He was perhaps the most complete DE ever. Certainly able to rush the passer but what is less celebrated is his great run defense.
