Michael Strahan is "likely" to take a reduced role at Good Morning America
Max Tani of Semafor.com reports, via Sports Business Journal, that Strahan is expected to sign a new contract with ABC's Good Morning America that will 'likely' include a reduced workload. It's also not expected to be a long-term deal.
The contract situation is currently 'unresolved.'
Earlier this year, NewsNation reported that Strahan was likely to leave GMA upon the expiration of his contract in 2025.
The 53-year-old Strahan also works for Fox NFL Sunday, and he hosts The $100,000 Pyramid.
Strahan recently has emerged as a candidate to purchase a minority share of the Giants. He acknowledged his interest two weeks ago.
'Would I be a good limited partner?' Strahan said during SBJ's 4se event. 'I'd be an excellent limited partner. I'm not in there trying to run your draft and tell you want to do and all these things. I'd be there in whatever capacity you needed me to be.'
Between his 15-year playing career and a broadcasting career that has lasted for 17 years and counting, Strahan has made more than enough money. He can, if he chooses, scale back, smell the roses, and get back to football — from a different perspective.

Humanoid machine face-plants at China's inaugural ‘robot Olympics'
A robot drew cheers from the packed crowd at China's inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games — until it spectacularly face-planted and had to be hauled off stage by two real people. The pratfall during Thursday's opening ceremony in Beijing offered a fitting window into the limitations of the machines during the three-day showcase of robotic ambition. More than 500 humanoid robots from 280 teams across 16 countries gathered to compete in everything from soccer to sprinting, with mixed results. 4 A humanoid robot face-plants at China's first World Humanoid Robot Games, prompting two humans to carry it off stage. ABC Teams from the United States, Germany, Japan and Brazil brought their mechanical athletes to compete alongside Chinese universities including Tsinghua and Peking, plus three ambitious middle schools. But the robots had other plans. During soccer matches, four mechanical players crashed into each other and collapsed in a tangled heap of metal limbs. In the 1,500-meter dash, one sprinting robot suddenly toppled mid-stride at full speed, drawing gasps and unexpected cheers from the crowd, who paid between $25-$80 to witness the future of artificial intelligence. 'We come here to play and to win. But we are also interested in research,' said Max Polter from Germany's HTWK Robots football team, affiliated with Leipzig University of Applied Sciences. 'You can test a lot of interesting new and exciting approaches in this contest. If we try something and it doesn't work, we lose the game. That's sad but it is better than investing a lot of money into a product which failed.' 4 While several robots took a spill and needed help getting up, many managed to recover on their own. ABC The opening ceremony mixed genuine technological achievement with comedic mishaps. Robots danced to hip-hop music, performed martial arts and played musical instruments including keyboards, guitars and drums. Some executed backflips and celebratory cheers like real athletes, while others demonstrated soccer skills and boxing moves. One robotic soccer player managed to score a goal after several attempts, causing the humanoid goalkeeper to dramatically fall to the ground in apparent despair. Another player tumbled but impressively stood up without human assistance, earning applause from spectators. Despite frequent falls requiring human helpers to right the toppled machines, many robots demonstrated the ability to recover independently. 4 A mechanical sprinter runs during the event, drawing gasps and cheers from the Beijing crowd. WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock Organizers emphasized that these public failures provide valuable data for developing practical applications in factories and assembly lines. Soccer matches help train coordination abilities that could prove useful for collaborative manufacturing operations requiring multiple robotic units to work together, commentators explained. China is pouring billions into humanoid robotics as the nation confronts an aging population and escalating technological competition with the United States. The country has staged multiple high-profile robotics events recently, including what it claimed was the world's first humanoid robot marathon and the opening of retail stores dedicated to mechanical workers. 4 A humanoid boxer squares off in the ring, showcasing China's AI-powered robotics ambitions despite frequent mechanical mishaps. WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock Morgan Stanley analysts noted a surge in public attendance at recent robot conferences compared to previous years, suggesting widespread Chinese embrace of what experts call 'embodied intelligence.' A government official quoted in the state-run People's Daily declared that every participating robot 'is creating history' during the event. Whether that history involves graceful athletic achievement or spectacular mechanical failures remains to be seen. With Post Wires

Danilo Gallinari's pregnant wife speaks out after shark attack: ‘I'm traumatized'
Eleonora Boi, the pregnant wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, revealed that she's still scared after being hospitalized following a recent shark attack in Puerto Rico. 'I have to say that I'm traumatized,' Boi said on 'Good Morning America' Thursday. 'I started crying and screaming, and I was screaming for help in Italian.' Boi originally detailed the 'worst day of my life' when she posted a photo of herself on Aug. 1 in what appeared to be a hospital. The 'Good Morning America' segment said Boi, a journalist, was swimming with Gallinari and their two children — a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son — in 'waist-deep' waters in Carolina when the attack happened. Boi noted in her Instagram post that the beach was quite populated at the time. 'I felt a strong pain and my thigh was burning, but my idea was, 'Maybe it's a huge jellyfish,'' Boi recalled. 'But, in reality, it wasn't a jellyfish.' The family fled the waters right after the attack, and a good Samaritan helped Boi. The segment noted that an unidentified woman put pressure on her wound with a towel until others arrived to help further. 'Oh, my God, I was saying, 'I don't want to die,' and 'I want that my baby is safe,'' Boi said. 'And I was crying. I was desperate, really desperate.' Boi is quite thankful for the help the woman provided at her moment of need. 'She was an angel. Danilo was with me, and she helped so much,' Boi told the network. 'I would like to say thank you to this woman, because I don't know her name, and I just want to say thank you to her because she helped a lot.' Boi landed in the hospital, where she underwent hours of tests. Since she was six months pregnant at the time, doctors had to perform several hours of tests to ensure the child — Gallinari said it's a boy — was OK and that they could proceed to surgery. Boi is expected to make a full recovery and has weekly visits scheduled with a doctor, per the ABC interview, but she's still struggling with the moment. She initially joked on Instagram about how the shark would be hearing from her legal representatives soon. 'I have to be honest, it's not easy,' Boi said. 'When I remember, I'm still scared. It's difficult.' Boi and Gallinari married in 2022, per People, and he spent this past season in the top basketball league in Puerto Rico following 14 seasons in the NBA, including time with the Knicks from 2009-11.
