in fact, I've come to the realization over the course of this season that he's my favorite Giant of all-time. I loved LT when I was a kid, but he was already past his prime by the time I started following football. I've gotten to watch the full career of probably one of the 3 or 4 best defensive lineman ever, and for that I'm extremely happy. I really hope he doesn't retire, because he is the heart & soul of that defense, and I think even though Justin Tuck might actually be a slightly better player now, Strahan's presence on the field opens up opportunities for Tuck, Umenyiora, and Kiwanuka (when he's healthy) that they wouldn't otherwise get.
