Michael Strahan is hemorrhaging cash

Michael Strahan has had a tough time lately. First he was called a deadbeat by a judge for only giving his ex-wife $3.7 million. Then his ex-wife said he was gay. Then the classy lady had a garage sale selling all of Mike's stuff and then sold their house.

Well, at least Strahan's ex-wife isn't emptying his pockets anymore. No, this time it's the Giants who are doing it.

Strahan, who says he's contemplating retirement but actually appears to be holding out for a new contract, is now being fined $14,288 a day for missing training camp. And it's retroactive to last Friday when camp started. That mean's as of today he owes the Giants $71,440. And the Giants are flying Simeon Rice - a potential replacement - in this afternoon.

I definitely feel for Strahan, who has gotten the rawest of raw deals of late. But seriously man, you're only making $4 million a year. Get into camp before you have no money left at all. The last thing any of us want to see is you working at a McDonald's in three years.
