Michael Strahan
, the NFL legend, has always maintained a pretty close bond with his ex and present colleagues, including his former Good Morning America colleague, Sara Haines.

Michael Strahan was left shocked when he got to know a family secret from ex colleague Sara Haines
The Weekend View – May 24, 2025
Recently, Michael Strahan's ex colleague Sara Haines spoke about an incident related to the NFL legend's family that she got to know before Strahan.
On The Weekend View, Sara Haines said, 'I went to shoot with his parents before his father died because I wanted … to give him time with his parents … where they just talked about him. They shared with me that they ate the pig.'
The pig that Sara Haines was speaking about was a family pig that the Strahan family had while Michael Strahan was growing up along with his siblings.
Sara Haines added, 'I come back and I'm giving Michael a hard time, as one would, and I joked about the pig. And he's like, 'What are you talking about?' He didn't know. He didn't know 'cause they were all young.'
Apparently, as revealed by Sara Haines on The Weekend View, Michael Strahan had no idea that his family ate the pig they had. When Sara Haines informed Michael Strahan about this family secret, the NFL legend called up his parents.

Sara Haines continued, 'And he called his mom. And I was like, 'I didn't mean to betray the family trust! I just thought you told him!'
While Michael Strahan has not commented on the incident yet, it seems like the incident did become a funny memory for the Strahan family later as his father passed away soon after they shared the incident with Sara Haines.

Mannargudi-born Rajesh Williams, who acted in nearly 150 films in Tamil and Malayalam besides TV serials, in several interviews recalled being a shy boy at school where in Class III he first got on stage, danced with his teacher's son and froze.

'A f***ing power runner': Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman crown Derrick Henry as modern power running icon in NFL Mount Rushmore debate
In a recent episode of their podcast, Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules, NFL stars Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman took fans on a nostalgic trip through football's most bruising backfields. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The duo discussed who would belong on the 'Mount Rushmore of power runners' and their list spanned legends old and new. From Mike Alstott to Derrick Henry , the podcast duo builds their Mount Rushmore of the NFL's toughest runners For NFL enthusiasts, this wasn't just casual banter. It was a tribute to the game's most physical, relentless runners the ones who didn't just gain yards, but steamrolled through defenders. Gronk's first pick was Mike Alstott, the former Buccaneers fullback known for his punishing runs and sheer strength. With 5,000+ rushing yards and 58 touchdowns, Alstott was one of the most feared short-yardage backs of his time. Edelman countered with John Riggins, the Washington icon who racked up 13,435 total yards and 116 touchdowns. Riggins' powerful running style and Super Bowl XVII MVP performance earned him a rightful place in NFL history. Next came Gronkowski's nod to Larry Csonka, the Miami Dolphins great from the 1970s. Csonka amassed over 8,000 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns during a career that included two Super Bowl titles and a stint with the New York Giants. Edelman followed up with Brandon Jacobs, the two-time Super Bowl champion with the Giants who was known for his size, strength, and ability to bulldoze through defenders. He also gave a shoutout to Peyton Hillis, recalling the running back's breakout 2010 season that led to his appearance on the Madden cover. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The conversation turned reverent as they mentioned , widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NFL history. 'I mean, Jim Brown was a f***ing power runner. If you watch him, like, he was the biggest, fastest man on the goddamn field. I remember him punishing people,' Edelman said, pointing to Brown's 12,312 rushing yards, 126 touchdowns, and lasting legacy as a player and civil rights activist. Rounding out the list was current Ravens star Derrick Henry, whom Gronkowski and Edelman hailed as the modern power running icon. After posting 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns in the 2024 season and securing the largest-ever contract for a running back over 30, Henry's inclusion was both timely and well-earned. Also read: For fans, the list wasn't just a collection of stats it was a celebration of football's raw, physical essence.

One image showed Anushka beaming with joy, dressed in a white shirt, as she stood up, clapping and laughing, her eyes shining bright, celebrating the win. Another picture of Anushka hugging a friend, bursting with excitement and joy, is melting hearts online. In fact, Virat also signalled "one more to go" to Anushka after RCB reached the IPL final. Fans are going wild over Anushka's reaction to RCB's win. They are gushing over her infectious enthusiasm. One wrote, 'Can we unanimously declare Anushka Sharma the lady luck of RCB', with another writing, 'The happiness of Anushka Sharma when RCB Qualify for Final'.

The cup is calling," read one comment. One fan wrote, 'The celebration of The queen Anushka Sharma'. 'The happiness on the face of Anushka Sharma after RCB won the match and booked their place in the finals,' mentioned one. Virat's team inched closer to a maiden Indian Premier League title after Royal Challengers Bengaluru mauled Punjab Kings to register an eight-wicket win in the lopsided Qualifier 1 clash at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on Thursday and reach the final. This was RCB's fourth qualification for the final, and first in nine years. Punjab Kings were folded for 101 runs in 14.1 overs. RCB reached the target in just 10 overs with opener Phil Salt, who made 56 not out, leading the charge. However, Punjab can still make the final if they can win the second qualifier against the winner of Friday's eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans.
