Many current NFL fans only know Michael Strahan for his television work and Andy Reid as the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Once upon a time, Strahan was a Pro Bowl defensive end for the New York Giants and Reid was the head coach of the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
The two have a history together and Strahan told a quick anecdote about how the subdued Ried could be a prankster.
“Andy coached me in the Pro Bowl several times,” Strahan, an NFL on Fox analyst, told the New York Post this week.
“And the only problem I had with him then is that every time I get back to New York and open up my travel bag and all my equipment in it, there’d be a bunch of Eagles crap in it.”
That didn’t sit too well with Strahan as one could imagine but he had to see the humor in it.
Reid coached the Eagles from 1999 through 2012 and faced Strahan 20 total times until Strahan’s retirement in 2008. The Giants went 9-9 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs against the Eagles and Reid over that period.
