We got our mitts on an advance copy of Michael Strahan's "Inside the Helmet: Life as a Sunday Afternoon Warrior." The book, written with Fox NFL analyst and Strahan friend Jay Glazer, offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at life in the NFL. If you are a Giants fan remotely interested in what players go through to play this game, you should read it. But if you don't have the time and need us to offer you the news snippets, there are a bunch of them. And the most interesting ones are about Coughlin, a lightning rod of attention during his three-plus seasons with the Giants. Sure, Strahan goes into the stuff about the rules Coughlin introduced in his first season with the Giants, and Strahan rails about a fine he got for being late to a team meeting. "Tom went way past hard-ass, directly to asinine and then made a sharp right turn, passing GO, driving headlong directly to psychotic." Strong words, no doubt. But the stronger message is the one Strahan delivers when he reveals how close he has grown to the coach. "I can't believe I'm actually writing this, but I want to end my career with Tom Coughlin," Strahan writes. "I want to learn more about him. Watch him crack that exterior even more in 2007. Then finally, I'll walk into the sunset with him as the last head coach of my career." -- Newsday

I'm having trouble believing he wrote it too, and meant it.
