His wife questioned his sexuality, labeled him a cheapskate, and walked away with half of his money. Clearly Michael Strahan was out of his league in this one. Now how on Earth could Superior Court Judge James Convery not be blown away by that logic? I, for one, can't wait to use a similar defense with bill collectors. She didn't ask for it, so no way she deserved it - never mind that an ironclad document showed otherwise. Strahan's lawyer told the judge his client shouldn't be forced to uphold the terms of the prenup because Jean Strahan didn't ask for her 20 percent each year of their marriage. Kelly's explanation for filming himself urinating on a teenager (Your Honor, that was my brother!) and as stupidly illogical as sprinter Dennis Mitchell's excuse for why he had an excessive amount of testosterone in his system (five beers, four rounds of sex with the wife).

To make matters worse, Strahan put up a defense in court that was as ridiculous as the one Tyson's lawyer presented at Tyson's rape trial (I'm an ignorant savage, but I'm not a raping, ignorant savage) as asinine as R.

And any prenup that guarantees half of anything - I don't care if it's half the Oreos - is a bad deal.

I'm no divorce specialist, but I thought the point of a prenuptial agreement was to prevent one party from making out like the gang in 'Ocean's Eleven' when the marriage is over. All of a sudden Billy King taking on the humongous contract of Chris 'No Knees' Webber seemed like a stroke of genius. Strahan to 50 percent of the couple's joint marital assets and 20 percent of his yearly income for every year the two were married. Who negotiated Strahan's prenup? A Fraggle? He signed a prenup that entitled the former Mrs.

The same guy who inked a four-year, $32 million contract with the Giants - of which $12 million was guaranteed - is the same one who signed one of the worst prenuptial agreements in the history of modern professional athletics. Truthfully, Strahan has no one to blame but himself.

Some of you are understandably disturbed that women who never took a hit on a football field, won a Masters or World Series could command a divorce settlement that is roughly the gross national product of Burma.īut to be fair, while being the wife of a professional athlete guarantees a certain amount of fame and financial security, it can be somewhat taxing when you're at the grocery store checkout, and you see your husband has just had an affair with a porn star. You might have heard that professional athletes have a tiny problem with fidelity, which is why divorce court tends to be nothing more than an elaborate torture mechanism for them. (Although the punch line to the Faldo story is that Faldo eventually left the 20-year-old that broke up his marriage for an older woman: 26-year-old Valerie Bercher, whom he married in 2001 and divorced in 2006.) Nick Faldo's second ex, Gill, walked away with a $4.7 million mansion, a $6.3 million payoff, and a $790,000 pension for her work with Faldo's foundation. Jeff Gordon's split from his first wife, Brooke, cost him $15.3 million (see, Michael Strahan shouldn't feel so bad). Question: When will sports figures learn that divorce court is the one place they are woefully overmatched? And given the large sum of money Strahan will be shelling out for years to come, it's only appropriate that he endorses Subway. It's all about Ellen Marshall, Jean Strahan's attorney.

Undoubtedly, there was a collective tremor among pro athletes when days ago, a New York judge ordered Giants defensive end Michael Strahan to pay his now ex-wife, Jean, $15.3 million - half his net worth - more than $200,000 in child support, and 90 percent of his kids' school tuition as part of their divorce settlement.įorget Scott Boras. Jean and Michael Strahan appeared to be a happy couple just two years ago.
