A great football player who could have been in the hall, but passes it up because he's worried about his health and future? please! I understand he is getting payed to analyze sports, but a smart man would have told his producers I'm not going to immediately come out and throw my old team under the bus.. because what he is doing now just makes him look like a coward. I thought he was a little out of line questioning Eli Manning's leadership and calling his efforts comical, though the absolute worst move he's made is placing blame on his former coach for being the reason he quit and walked out on a hall of fame career. I refuse to believe that. especially when you had Tiki on NBC and ESPN telling all reporters he's ready to hang it up to save his body and pursue broadcasting half way through the season.
Tiki is the kind of guy I could see having people doing his makeup and plucking his eyebrows before games. If being a ';journalist'; (HAH!) is what he really wants to do with his life, than thats fine. But with the way he so happily turned his back on football, the last person I want to hear analyzing it and bitching about his former team is Tiki. If you want to start a new career outside of football THEN START OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL! and shut the hell upWho here is tired of Tiki Barber's whining and complaining? Please also explain your reasons?
I was just about the ask a similar question after reading his comments on Tom Coughlin taking away his love for the game and basically forcing him into retirement. A lot of guys do this, it's just that Tiki's got more of a forum than most guys do. He has a right to do it, but it sure takes away some of the shine from the class image he was able to cultivate during his playing days.
I'm with you. and pretty much all of the comments who answered before me. I'm surprised at Tiki Barber.%26amp; I've seen him on tv and personally I think he sucks. He was much better playing football. Now I'm not a big fan of Tom Coughlin but he wasnt the reason Tiki quit football as Tiki says, he chose that decision on his own. If he really wanted to play football he would of stayed with the giants or signed with another team like the Jets or something. He shouldnt be trashing his teammmates either like he did with Eli. Good for Eli for sticking up for himself. Sure Eli hasnt been great like his brother but he could bounce back and he got drafted for a reason....
(hey I know this has nothing to do w/ football but like A-rod of the yankees, He wasnt that great early on either but he bounced back and is great)
....Tiki was a good player but he was no hall of famer either. It just shows how much loyalty he had to that team. He announced halfway through the season that he was retiring, the guy basically quit on his team.
