Michael Strahan was 30 minutes into his new career being paid to express opinions, and he wasted no time showing his willingness to do so.
What does he think the Giants should do with disillusioned tight end Jeremy Shockey?
"He doesn't want to play here; that's obvious with everything that's going on," Strahan told Newsday yesterday after being introduced as the newest cast member on "Fox NFL Sunday."
"I don't think you gain much by keeping a guy around. Regardless of how well he plays for you, there's always that tension, and that's one thing you can't have if you're expected to go back and repeat."
Strahan added Shockey might do his job well, but that doesn't mean he would be happy.
"You don't need that out of one of your leaders," the recently retired defensive end said. "So I think the best thing for them and for Shockey is if they have the opportunity, let him go."
That's the kind of thing Fox will be looking for from Strahan, who signed a four-year deal believed to be worth about $2.3 million a year after fielding offers from other networks.
