The Super Bowl is over, and a very emotional period for the whole community has begun. The FOX Commentary Crew bids farewell to each other in a very sentimental way. They worked day and night together off the field for the entire season. It has been a wonderful time for them to cover the sports they adore, and Michael Strahan has highlighted this in his emotional Instagram post.
Super Bowl LIX was a massive successful event. The Eagles were looking for their big win, which they had been anticipating for seven years. On the other side, the Chiefs were on their way to making history. But in the end, Philly got the edge and stood tall. During all this, the FOX crew was having a great time. The Crew knew it was the last time they’d be together because Terry Bradshaw was retiring. Michael Strahan captured all this in many pictures which he posted on his IG and captioned, “#SuperBowlLIX on @nflonfox. What a time with the fellas. Until next year! ”
Michael Strahan’s post had the entire squad laughing together and consoling Jimmy Johnson, who teared up in the middle. It was an emotional moment for the entire team to say goodbye to one of the best on the desk. At the age of 76, Terry Bradshaw chose to hang up his boots as a commentator despite having two more years in his contract with FOX. Strahan highlighted Bradshaw in his Instagram post, as he included a photo of Bradshaw and him talking things out.
Other crew members have also commented on this post about their own experiences. Charissa Thompson commented on the post, writing, “Love you guys.” She even shared an Instagram story referring to this bunch as a family to her. Thompson was also emotional at the end of the Super Bowl, as she was observed hugging only other crew members on the field. She was not alone in the comment area; Erin Andrews also remarked on the post. Andrews stated, “Love these! And love u guys.”
Terry Bradshaw’s retirement and the end of the Super Bowl have genuinely made FOX watchers cry. Michael Strahan also expressed how difficult it was for him to bid farewell to this crew until next year. But do you know that the former DE also disclosed how communicating was difficult for him?
Michael Strahan’s surprising revelation about being booed in an interview
While the former Jets star has become a fan favorite on FOX, it was not always the case. Strahan highlighted during a recent talk with Jameis Winston how difficult it was for him at first. The man said that on his first interview with the models, he failed horribly. Michael referred to himself as garbage on the mic and a man who couldn’t control his spit.
The full story that Michael Strahan said is, “When I got there, they handed me a microphone and asked me to interview the models. I have never seen the footage. I hope that the footage is burned because I was so nervous that I was garbage! You would’ve never thought I’d have a career after that. I’m the only guy on TV that, you know, spits on people when I say the letter ‘S’ with the gap in my teeth, and I can stay employed, so I’ll keep it.”
Time really does teach us everything. Fast forward to now, the man is a successful commentator and an iconic member of the FOX team.
