NFL legend loses patience and dunks co-star into water tank on live TV

Fox NFL Sunday's presentation crew were having fun before Week 5 action kicked off, but former New York Giants star Michael Strahan eventually lost his patience

NFL superstar Michael Strahan finally lost his cool in trying to dunk Jay Glazer on Fox NFL Sunday, opting to use his hands to dunk the analyst after failing to hit the target with a ball.

During Week 5's NFL Sunday, amid excitement for the games following the Minnesota Vikings versus New York Jets clash in London, they set up a moment of fun where Fox NFL pundit Jay Glazer perched on a plank above a water tank.

The game was straightforward: hit a target with a football or a baseball, and Glazer would take the plunge, suited up and all. The challenge turned out to be a tough nut to crack.

Big Papi took the first shot; however, his attempt fizzled out as the football veered off too low, prompting a cheeky jab from Glazer: "That's why he was a designated hitter!".

Next in line was Gronk, ribbed by Glazer that his best throwing days were reserved for parties. Yet Gronk nearly achieved the feat with a baseball throw, sparking surprise and murmurs among the onlookers.

When Jeter had a go, his throw was way off the mark, flying over both the target and backboard, leading Glazer to quip about Jeter's legendary status: "The captain of what?".

Strahan stepped up to the plate, cheekily bouncing a baseball before asserting with fierce determination: "There is one who wants to hit this target more than me." But, when his effort just cleared the target, it was clear his aim was slightly off.

Following him, Howie Long and MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez took their shots but failed to make the mark, with Rodriguez even taking a second attempt. Strahan wasn't having any of it; in a classic moment of mischief, he charged at the target and smacked it with his hand, dunking Glazer into the water.

The hilarity of the Fox NFL Sunday gang is well-loved by fans. One fans shared on social media platform X: "This is the best pregame show in the league," while another gushed: "Freaking LOVE YOU GUYS! We put our dog down on Tuesday and this week has stunk but thank you for always making me smile and laugh as I needed it more than ever this weekend."
