Strahan is funny.  I watched some of his Media Day Q&A live on nflnetwork.com.  This article captures his style, but doesn't capture his many other funny comments.  I was most impressed by how genuine and happy he was.  He handled all the weird questions with honesty and humor and really seemed to be enjoying himself.  Brady obfuscates when asked a difficult question.  Strahan turns it into a joke.  Two different styles, but both avoid giving an incendiary response that turns into bulletin board material.

Michael Strahan was a laugh riot on Tuesday.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - The best act of the Super Bowl performed for an hour Tuesday before a riveted standing-room only audience. And Super Bowl performers Alicia Keys, Jordin Sparks and Tom Petty were nowhere to be found.

Michael Strahan Unplugged was a smash as the defensive end was easily the media day MVP. No matter how silly or bizarre the questions, Strahan delivered gem after gem. He even broke into song with the Alicia Keys hit "No One."

Strahan was asked which actor should play him if Super Bowl XLII was made into a movie.

"Has to be someone who is funny," Strahan answered.

One reporter suggested Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker.

"Forest Whitaker?!?" Strahan screamed. "Come on man!"

How about Will Smith?

"We have to bulk Will Smith a little bit and put a gap in his tooth," the defensive end said. "Eli Manning would be Tobey Maguire. Tom Brady would be Brad Pitt."

Strahan was asked by an entertainment television personality which two celebrities he would invite to the Super Bowl to impress the most.

"Some actress that's hot. There are a bunch of them, but most of them are pregnant right now," Strahan replied. "I have no chance. If I am trying to impress you, I am not bringing you to the Super Bowl. Give me a chance to stare into my gap tooth. I need to do that in person at a restaurant or something."

There may actually have been more questions about Strahan's gap than Brady's boot or SpyGate. Strahan noted that celebrities such as David Letterman, Madonna and Lauren Hutton stick together when it comes to their gaps.

Comedian Guy Torry then asked the Giants co-captain about his rugged haircut and beard.

"Is that your Super Bowl hairdo or are you going for the 'Hotel Rwanda' look?" Torry asked.

Strahan replied: "This is a tribute to my man Don Cheadle. Hotel Rwanda. To my people. You know what this was? When I was in California in the offseason holding out, I said I don't care about the clean look so I went a little grimy."

"And then you know what happened?" Strahan continued. "The women like it. You know when I knew this hairdo was right and all that, the women were like, 'Ooh, you look sexy.' And then the guys were like, 'You need to cut that off.'

"When the guys start hating and the women like it, you know you are onto something."

Toward the end, Strahan was asked about his favorite musical acts and was asked if he likes Keys. That is when he held his own "American Idol" tryout.

"Noooo one, noooo one, noooooooo one," Strahan sang as several Giants started laughing at him from afar. "Look at all the haters back there. What do you want to hear? What do you want to hear?"

The media heard more than enough yesterday.
