Audio Listen in to part of the show!

He helped the New York Giants win Super Bowl XLII! Michael Strahan talks with Gayle about the big win and the ups and downs of his career as an NFL starter.

Michael says playing football has given him some of the best opportunities he could ask for. "Athletically I have been able to accomplish some things which have opened all types of doors, so I can never forget where I came from," he says. Despite the fact that he is in the public eye, Michael says he is still a little shy around people and overall just a fun-loving guy. "I'm a goofball," he says. "I just enjoy every day."

Michael says he is not sure if he will return to play with the Giants next season, but he will have a hard time saying no. "I'm exhausted thinking about everything I had to go through to win it all," he says. "But I know as the months go by, I will really have the toughest decision to make."

As for the famous gap between his two front teeth, he says he is glad he never got it fixed. "I realized I don't know how I would be and act if I didn't have the gap," he says. "It has become a part of who I am with everybody and is almost more known than my face is."
