Love Stinks

This just in: The gap between Michael Strahan's front teeth is not the only empty space in the Giant star's head.

Strahan, who last week was ordered to pay his ex-wife (they married in 1999 and have two kids) more than $15 million, had a pre-nuptial agreement in which he agreed to pay 50 percent of the marital assets plus 20 percent of his yearly earnings. Or, to put it in less legal terms, about 15 million freaking dollars.

Uh, dude, listen carefully. The point of a pre-nup is to ensure that you don't pay your ex-wife half of your assets, not to guarantee that you will be the punchline at every convention of matrimonial lawyers for the next 20 years. You might want to remember that the next time.

And as this discussion of Strahan's misfortune points out, the lawyers he hired were more Eli than Peyton (FCB Shoutout: The Big Lead). The good news is that he only will have to keep playing until he is 50 in order to earn the money back.
