When Michael Strahan is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Aug. 2, it’ll be long-time friend and FOXSports reporter Jay Glazer that first welcomes him to the halls of Canton.

When Strahan was initially voted into the Hall of Fame, it was Glazer that broke the news to him. Sitting around friends and family, Glazer casually glanced down at is phone before beginning to talk.

“Last year was tough because I was like, ‘You’re gonna make it,'” Glazer turned to Strahan and said. “Then I thought, maybe it’s just not going to be this year.

“But, it is this year.'”

Following around Strahan during the entire week, LIVE with Michael and Kelly caught it all on film:

Strahan, who considers Glazer one of his closest friends, described the two’s relationship in an article on Deadspin.com

“We always argue and fight and scream. We’ve been in cars before, and I open the door and get out as he’s driving 60 miles per hour down the street,” Strahan told Drew Magary. “We do get to that point where it’s like most people, 99.9 percent who doesn’t know us, they would just go, ‘Oh, these guys are gonna fight, I don’t know if I really want to get into the middle of this.’ And I think we end up laughing at everybody else’s reaction.”

Glazer helped Strahan co-write his biography, “Inside the Helmet: My Life as an Afternoon Warrior.”
