New York Giants legend Michael Strahan has probably lost himself some fans after what could be considered a controversial gesture and a proverbial slap to the face of his former team.
The Hall of Famer made some huge defensive plays against the Philadelphia Eagles back in his day. But he seemed to switch sides for a moment while spending some time with running back Saquon Barkley.
Strahan and Barkley were on a boat ahead of Super Bowl 59 when he decided to show some respect for the former Giants star by waving the Eagles flag.
“We gon’ fly Eagles fly for Saquon Barkley because I respect and love this man so much,” he said.

The former pass rusher is likely very happy for Saquon right now, given that he’s since become a Super Bowl champion as he helped the Eagles topple the Chiefs in the big game on Sunday night.
We doubt there’s anyone in New York who feels the same way.
