Sandman at Large - Tiki Barber
By Sandman
At the beginning of the NFL season, there you were Tiki, in your navy blue suit and shiny red tie, in the warm friendly confines of 30 Rock, pontificating on how Eli Manning’s leadership was “comical” while he played with you with the New York Giants. How easy that must have been for you, Tiki. There you were with your new gig with NBC Sports taking pot shots at a man that you went to war with for four NFL seasons. It was in these studios that you predicted the Giants would go 4-12 and that Tom Coughlin would be ran out of town.
If
these “predictions” are any indicator of your expertise as an
analyst, I’m afraid you should have stuck with football. Oh yeah, that’s
right, you quit football and your teammates to write children’s books
and be a part time anchor on the Today show. Tiki, you are a today sponge
– one your mother wasn’t smart enough to use when she gave up
the ghost to your father/milkman. How ironic that the very next year after
you retire, the Giants shock the world by beating the Patriots and winning
the Superbowl. Can you say addition by subtraction?
Tiki,
you weren’t the only idiot in the Barber family this year, days before
the Giants played the Bucs in the NFC wild card game, Oronde, your twin brother,
said that Eli was “ripe for the taking.” Is that so, Oronde? Didn’t
the Giants end your season by beating you in this game? Wasn’t it you
who got beat by Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer who caught a perfectly thown
pass by Eli Manning?
Tiki, the bottom line is you took pot shots at two guys, Coughlin and E. Manning, who had been lambasted by the ever scrutinizing New York media. You kicked them when they were down. You are classless and now look like a fool. Enjoy the crow, you ass bag.
