Strahan is seeking to push classical performers into a region where the composer, performer and listener meet in the notes as events happening in the here and now, a white hot fusion more associated with jazz.
Strahan is a self-declared unashamed melodist which is true to the extent that he is a composer who takes a line for a walk and usually with a soloist as protagonist.

 FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Football analysis and NFL stats for the Moneyball era
Strahan’s presence was clearly on Harrington’s mind, most notably on one play when Strahan moved from the inside of the right tackle to the outside of the right tackle, and Harrington looked at Strahan and began barking instructions to the line.
Strahan owns the all-time record for sacks in a season (although that record carries two rather large asterisks, seeing as sacks have only been recorded since 1982 and Brett Favre gift-wrapped that final sack for his fishing buddy), so it’s no surprise that he was the Lions’ primary focus in pass protection.
Strahan is the kind of guy who you might not always be able to avoid even if you see him coming, so lining him up against inferior pass protection makes sense.

Strahan, who just set the single-season sack record with 22½, refused to accept a proposed seven-year $58 million deal, at least partially because the signing bonus was to be split in two.

As for Strahan's implication that the Giants are not interested in putting together a title contender, Barber again was critical of his teammate.

Sapp called Strahan's record-breaking sack of Packers quarterback Brett Favre last season "a travesty," because it came on a running play intended to set a new league mark of 22-1/2 sacks.
Sapp drew Strahan's ire this week after he said an asterisk should be placed next to the sack record set Jan. 6 when the Giants Pro Bowl player fell on Favre after a naked (no blockers) bootleg with 2:42 left in the fourth quarter of a 35-24 victory by Green Bay.
Strahan responded by calling Sapp "a jackass" and saying Sapp quit in Tampa Bay's wildcard playoff loss at Philadelphia.
