New York, NY —

New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan says he decided to end his pro football career because he didn't have it in him to get ready for another season.

STRAHAN: After 15 years I just don't feel, I feel it takes just a toll to get to that point. I've done it for 15, can't muster it up to do it one more time.

REPORTER: Strahan held a farewell news conference today. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin praised Strahan for his attitude and work ethic.
