NY- Giants sack king Michael Strahan and his estranged wife blitzed each other with dueling tales of wild, free-spending ways yesterday in a divorce court clash.
Strahan said his soon-to-be ex-wife spoiled their toddler twin girls, recently lavishing nearly $100,000 on them - including $27,000 for clothes alone.
But Jean Strahan countered that the gridiron star splurged nearly $200,000 on two ultra-luxury cars, spent money on a mistress - and kept a secret ledger detailing the married couple's sex romps before the girls were born.
"I don't want [the twins] to be spoiled," said Michael Strahan, 34, who kept his cool under fierce questioning from his wife's lawyer, Ellen Marshall.
The faceoff in Essex County Family Court in Newark was rife with the kinds of problems only the rich face - like how many millions is enough to end a marriage.
Looking more like the cuddly star of TV commercials than a fierce gridiron warrior, Strahan calmly picked apart a spending list that included nearly $10,000 for parties and more than $8,000 in toys and other gifts.
"I look at this list and I think: The floodgates are open," Michael Strahan said. "They have to know the value of a dollar."
He shook his head over revelations that Jean blew more than $22,000 on photographs alone.
"That blows my mind," Strahan said under questioning from his lawyer, Robert Penza. "We have a friend named Willie. He can do it for free."
The couple's seemingly storybook marriage blew up last year when she accused him of verbally abusing her - and he said she siphoned $3.3 million from their bank accounts.
The two sides in the blockbuster Strahan vs. Strahan divorce case are squabbling over child support and her cut of his Big Blue paycheck.
Jean Strahan says he owes her at least $14 million under the terms of a prenuptial agreement that says he was supposed to give her 20% of his earnings.
He says the tab should be closer to $7 million.
"I feel it's my biggest day," said Jean Strahan, 41, who wore a stylish olive green suit to the hearing.
Her lawyer mercilessly peppered the hulking National Football League All-Pro with questions about his own spending.
The Giants No. 2 all-time sack leader conceded he has bought two ultraluxury cars - an Aston Martin and a BMW - for nearly $100,000 each since the couple split in March, even though his garage was already bulging with fancy roadsters.
Michael Strahan also admitted sinking thousands from a joint account into a jeans company started by his pal Dana Smith, whose brother is TV doctor Ian Smith.
Marshall asked the 275-pound defensive end - who makes an average of nearly $7 million annually - about why he never set aside cash for his wife every year as called for in the prenup. Marshall also accused Strahan of blowing cash on a mistress.
Strahan calmly denied all the charges.
In a bizarre moment, Marshall whipped out an oversized planner that she said was filled with day-by-day entries detailing Michael Strahan's efforts to get his wife pregnant before she had the twins.
She said the handwritten entries noted when Strahan had sex with his wife and her menstrual cycle.
But the football star denied putting their most intimate details in print.
"I don't make notes about sex," Strahan said.
