EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Michael Strahan had what he wanted -- a Super Bowl championship to add to a resume featuring seven Pro Bowls and two sack records. Now it was time to leave football and leave the New York Giants after 15 years in the NFL.

Four months after a stunning Super Bowl victory over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots, the 36-year-old Strahan informed Giants co-owner John Mara he was done. He will be walking away from a $4 million contract for the 2008 season.

"I told him he's been a great Giant," Mara said Monday. "He thanked me for everything the organization has done for him. I said, 'I think you've done more for us than we can ever do for you.' "

I think all of you will really enjoy this article. It's about why he's one of my favorite players, how i will remember him and why i liked him retiring. i think most of you can relate to it and share my pain/happiness.

Any feedback would be great.
