That was Michael Strahan's first trophy presentation. That is usually Terry Bradshaw's job. It showed. Joe Montana was supposed to say a few words and present the George Halas Trophy to Jed York. Instead we got whatever that was.
Im confused with the trophy presentation. Did the Niners win or did Michael Strahan? Joe Montana is the only person on that stage who wasn’t allowed to talk. There’s something wrong with that.
I hope Terry Bradshaw is going to be OK. Has to be very ill to miss this game.
