Michael Strahan Campaigns For Plaxico, Talks Tiki

“Plaxico’s not a bad guy,” Strahan told the New York Post. “He just made a bad decision, a dumb decision which cost him two years. I think he’ll be back, hopefully with the Giants. But whoever gets him, he’ll be an asset."
"He was Eli's safety blanket. Without that combination, we don't beat the Packers in cold Lambeau, we don't win the Super Bowl without those two guys playing the way they did together."

Strahan went as far as to say if he were running the Giants and Burress was released at 4:00, he's be under contract with the team by 4:05.

"The best thing that happened to Plaxico was Michael Vick," Strahan said. "It showed that you did something, you serve your time and that you come out and play and there's redemption in it."
"Plaxico injured himself, so there would probably be a lot more leeway with him than there was with Michael Vick," he added. "If you can forgive [Vick], then you have to forgive Plaxico."

The current NFL of FOX pregame host was also asked about former teammate Tiki Barber and whether or not he feels it was a good decision for the running back to return to the NFL.

"He wasn't on the decline when he retired," Strahan said. "He's a worker who will bust his butt. I think he can do it. I think he has a few years left in him."
