Michael Strahan's transition post-football is still crazy to me

[CHICAGO]

cats like matt lauer making 25 mil a year to report on current events with no cte risk.

WHATS YOUR POINT?

WHATS HIS SKILL?

WHATS HIS TALENT?

READING A TELEPROMPTER?

THERES A REASON AN EX JOCK
CAN COME IN AND TAKE OVER THAT FIELD.

He took the OJ route with out the bodies

or doing 40 times in the airport

 

[Doobie Doo]

Thats how i feel about The Rock

It's not that hard to do better after wrestling. Even top wrestlers don't make the money LIKE THAT

I mean Brock Lesnar was the #1 wrestler financially last year at 12 Million. Cena #2 at 8million and Triple h at 3 Million at #3

Brock Lesnar - pg.2

Compare that to players from professional teams. Many NBA role players make more annually than Brock.

That's not a lot of money considering the wear and tear and travel associated with wrestling.

its just as relevant a skill to get on live tv and be able to be naturally charismatic and not only sustain, but grow and keep viewership because they want to see you on tv as it is to be able to do a swim move and get to a quarterback quickly. neither one of them is some otherworldly accomplishment in the grand scheme of things. its simply entertainment. theres several million people who see the academy awards as their version of the super bowl, and who couldnt give a shyt who is playing in the nba finals or the nfl playoffs or what strahan did with the ny giants

NOPE

ANYBODY WITH A DECENT SMILE
AND GOOD SOCIAL SKILLS CAN DO THAT shyt.

99.9 OF THE POPULATION CANT BE A HOF

Low key A Rod is on the come up as well.He may not get gigs like Strahan but he is crossing over into the entertainment celebrity world too

Agreed, but that's not to say that Strahan being at that level is just as easy too. Esp as a nikka.

HE WENT TO FOX HALFTIME
IMMEDIATELY AFTER RETIREMENT.
(HOLLYWOOD)

IT WAS AN EASY TRANSITION FROM THAT
TO THE KELLY RIPA SHOW.
(NYC)

HE USED HOLLYWOOD
AND NYC CONNECTIONS TO MOVE UP.

[x-factor7]

This dude might get his own late night show at one point or push out a current host if their ratings aren't doing so hot

 

[Rekkapryde]

It's easier to "do" what Strahan does, so I agree with @CHICAGO from that perspective.
Getting there in his current position is much harder though than making it to the football HOF which is already hard in itself.

MANY more HOFers than cats that have been in Strahan's position. From a tv journalism point of view, how many other nikkaz have been at Strahan's level? I can't think of any.

But again, considerably more football HOFers.

Don't disagree. Who else has been at his level though? Compared to lots of other HOFers. He's pretty much making more now than in his NFL career and is one of the top TV personalities. shyt is insane.

right. us as sports fans naturally lean to the skill on the field as being more meaningful because thats what we watch day in and day out. theres millions on the other side that see folks like straham or ryan seacrest as the aaron rodgers and tom bradys in that industry and tune in to see them. not everyone who doesnt stumble over their words can fill those shoes

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Yooo A-Rod on those post shows had me thinking why did everyone hate this dude he so likeable

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HOF PLAYERS
WANT TO INTERVIEW CELEBRITIES FOR A LIVING BREAUGH?

DUDES WANT TO GET ON TV
AND TALK SPORTS A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK.

STRAHAN WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
