During a live broadcast of Fox NFL Sunday, things took an unexpected turn when former New York Giants player Michael Strahan was accidentally hit in the face with a football. Fortunately, it seems that Strahan's pride was the only thing hurt, as he didn't suffer any serious injuries to his face. The incident occurred on October 5, when Strahan and his fellow hosts gathered to demonstrate a football play for viewers.
As the team discussed the various ways the play could be executed, they decided on specific roles and positions on a replica NFL field. Strahan, along with former players Rob Gronkowski, Terry Bradshaw, and Howie Long, and on-air personalities Julian Edelman, Curt Menefee, and Jay Glazer, set up for the demo. Edelman, playing the role of kicker, went to kick the ball, but it didn't quite go as planned. Instead of soaring towards the goal post, the ball weakly connected with Strahan's face.
The hosts were taken aback by the unexpected hit and couldn't help but laugh as Strahan held his face in shock. They quickly checked on him to make sure he was okay, while also teasing him about the ball hitting his face. Despite the initial shock, Strahan seemed to brush it off and joked, "I'm about to lose an eyeball, for real, man." And with that, they continued on with the show, as it appeared that Strahan wasn't too affected by the football to the face.
It's worth noting that Strahan is no stranger to receiving recognition for his impressive career. As one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, he was the first to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Sports Entertainment category. In light of this incident, it's clear that Strahan's sense of humor and resilience are just as strong as his skills on the field. And as for the football that hit him? It looks like it's just another day in the life of a football player.
