He's no longer a pro, but he isn't a Joe either.

That's what makes retired New York Giants defensive end and FOX NFL Sunday analyst Michael Strahan such a great fit as co-host of the new season of Pros vs. Joes.

Along with fellow FOX Sports NFL analyst Jay Glazer, Strahan helps moderate the athletic competition between former professional athletes and wanna-be amateurs. The show airs at 11 p.m. Mondays on Spike TV.

In the following telephone interview conducted last week, Strahan gives his thoughts on Pros vs. Joes as well as such hot topics as the NFL status of controversial figures Michael Vick, Adam "Pacman" Jones, Plaxico Burress ... and don't forget T.O., of course.

MARVEZ: "What was the biggest thing that surprised you about Pros vs. Joes?"
