Maybe "the religion of sports " will delve into the roots of how fans follow morons blindly and crucify GOATS willingly for fraudulent beliefs that deny common scientific law to serve the almighty Godell.

He blows hot and cold on Brady. He certainly wasn't a fan the morning after the DG story broke when they opened with him on Good Morning America. He had a deflated football and was explaining to the rest of the crew how a very serious advantage was to be had with deflated footballs and how it constituted serious cheating. He has also been complimentary of Brady on occasion, but I'd describe it as 50/50 at best.Strahan has been pretty vocal about how tough he thinks tom is, especially after the beating he took in those superbowls, but kept getting up and competing. Strahan is definitely a fan.

So it's definitely positive then

You raised some good points. What particularly rankled me about that episode which I didn't mention in my original post were the following: 1) The enthusiasm and obvious unbridled joy with which Strahan presented his information. It was classic "gotcha!" 2). Strahan's repeated references to Spygate and how DG represented a systemic pattern of serial cheating. In a nutshell, he didn't appear as though anyone had to twist his arm to do the piece. He appeared orgasmic.The thing is, during that first week of the "scandal" I don't think it was necessarily a bad thing to do that, knowing the "facts" that were out there then. This isn't Mark Brunell and stupid stuff like that -- it's him showing a deflated football and saying it's an advantage. The question is if Strahan kept it up after the Mona Lisa Vito press conference, which should have slammed the door on any further discussion. That's a different story.
Plus, there is no doubt that ABC ordered this. The stuff was leading the nightly news for heaven's sake. They must have creamed themselves thinking, "Wait a minute, we have a former football player on our big daytime moneymaker show -- let's have him bring up the story there and keep it going! More ratings!!!" What's Strahan to do, quit on the spot? If he's a close friend of Brady's, sure. If he's just an professional acquaintance that he respected, of course he wouldn't - especially knowing the "facts" he had to work with.

Strahan bashed himself by being on that stupid show with Kelly Ripa. Good thing he moved on from there.
