Glazer reports: Strahan to stay retired
Which is about as close to the horse's mouth as you can get.
Here are some quotes from his story on FOXsports.com:
"This has been one of the toughest nights of my life," Strahan said from Greece. "But after long deliberation and throwing around a million scenarios in my head for the past day, I think it's just best if I stay retired.
"I have gone back and forth on this because as a player you'll always want to play, you'll never lose that urge to be out there. But I could only do this if I could commit 100 percent, physically, mentally, emotionally and I can't do that. I've tried to convince myself and my body to give it one more year, but in the end I just don't think I could turn it on like I need to again."

Good for him, and I don't think it's so bad for the Giants, either. I still think they have a solid team, with or without Strahan.
Yea I agree, there was just too many questions. Does he want to play? Is he in playing shape? etc...
Giants will do just fine with Kiwi and Tuck
Side note: If the Giants werent underdogs before, they sure are now, saw a couple of announcers had the Giants not evening making the playoffs, and one "expert" had us at dead last in the NFC East
Too early to have him comeback.
Ask again in October.
Bet he starts getting in football shape when he's back to the States, just in case he gets that call.
