Although FOX Sports now has its undivided attention on Major League Baseball every Saturday afternoon, it won't be much longer before FOX shifts its attention back to the NFL. Less than 6 months after he & his New York Giants shocked the football world with their upset win in Super Bowl XLII over the heavily favored New England Patriots, Michael Strahan will trade in his #92 blue & white jersey for a suit, shirt & tie in the FOX Television Center this fall. FOX Sports has hired Strahan to join an already popular pregame show this football season. He'll be part of the "FOX NFL Sunday" studio team in Los Angeles that features host Curt Menefee, plus analysts Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long & Jimmy Johnson, along with insider Jay Glazer, funnyman Frank Caliendo & weather girl Jillian Barberie-Reynolds, starting September 7th. I don't know what will be larger, fans. The set FOX will use for its pregame show or the various opinions Strahan will try to get in edgewise with Menefee, Bradshaw, Long & Johnson before kickoff...I know Strahan has thoughts, but I'm not so sure it's going to work with all those egos in that L.A. studio...
