Most retired players yearn for one last opportunity to hear the cheers of the fans.

Michael Strahan is bracing for a different reception when the Giants retire his number 92 jersey on Sunday.

Because of the pitiful state of the current team and an opponent that resides a little more than an hour down the Jersey Turnpike, MetLife Stadium figures to be swarming with Eagles fans this weekend. And Eagles fans have never been kind to Strahan.
