I had an opportunity to chat with Michael Strahan in the green room before "Costas Now" Tuesday night.
This was before he and Chris Russo went at it on the set, and the night before Big Blue visited Mr. Bush at the White House.
(Here is T-Rock on the latter subject, with a transcript of the Rose Garden ceremony.)
Like every reporter who speaks to Strahan these days, I tried to trick him into saying something about his near future.
I reminded him of the bet I made in 2002 with (my possible future teammate) Paul Schwartz of the New York Post that Strahan still would be playing in the league in 2009.
Strahan has been aware of this bet for years. He asked whether it counts if he plays in a playoff game in the calendar year of 2009. It doesn't (I assume) but was that a hint?
Hmm. Strahan would not say.
