Michael Strahan has entered his 19th season as an NFL analyst with Fox Sports, working the pregame show Fox NFL Sunday alongside Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and Rob Gronkowski. But before he was in the studio, Strahan was a dominant defensive end for the New York Giants, helping his team win a Super Bowl over Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.

But Strahan has done much more during his post-NFL career, even joining ABC’s morning show Good Morning America as a co-host in 2014. The Texas Southern alum even hosts a prime-time game show called The $100,000 Pyramid, along with co-owning his own lifestyle and apparel brand, Michael Strahan Brand.

Strahan even has his own talent management and production company called SMAC Entertainment, which he co-founded in 2010 alongside Constance Schwartz-Morini. The company has represented major sports figures such as Deion Sanders and Terrell Owens, while creating shows such as Coach Prime and BS High.

The tournament will feature six national teams, including Canada, Mexico and the United States, with Strahan serving as founding partner. Grand Slam of Flag commissioner Sam Rapoport also noted he plans on creating four more events in the future, while mentioning the addition of flag football in the 2028 LA Olympics.

“The Olympics are giving women’s flag football its moment, we’re building a business that makes sure that moment doesn’t end in 2028,” Rapoport said. “What we’ve seen specifically in women’s sports is as soon as the Olympics take place, you see this incredible interest in the sport.”
