Tiki Barber Has To Be Loving His Decision To Retire Today

Found January 27, 2009 on Awful Announcing Inactive:
PLAYERS: Tiki Barber


As the rest of his NFL brethren descends on Tampa, Tiki Barber is stuck in freezing cold New York City and has the unfortunate assignment of having his crotch painted by the Blue Man Group, and some crazy kids. Here's the video via Best Week Ever....




As BWE points out, you can almost see the breaking point in Tiki's face at around the -00:14 mark. I know that the guy wants to succeed, and he probably willingly agreed to this, but that's just embarrassing. Being relegated to the fourth hour of the Today Show, and having paint dumped on your head, is no way to go through life.

  • They should have dropped S * # T on his head for the way he talked about the players that helped make him successful & the coach that gave him the ball, so he could further his Television career. You don't see Michael Strahan trashing his team. Hopefully this is a sign that his TV career is going south & instead of being remembered as a great player that retired gracefully, his last memory will be that of a clown.....I think I see some similarities to Jake LaMotta's career here.

  • It's the old saying "what goes around comes around". ...... He had his time dumping on Manning and Coughlin and now the little people are dumping on him..........How the worm has turned.........

  • relax people. i am not a tiki fan and certainly not a giants fan but i can recognize success when i see it. he left football for a career in journalism and found himself on the today show. that is one of the most sought after news programs to be on. fourth hour? please. it's the today show! you guys need to check yourself and ask, what's your definition of success.

  • Giants fans need to stop hating on Tiki, he got his punishment when we won the SB the year after he retired. He still was a great Giant and yes he did throw Manning and TC under the bus, but we all know Coughlin changed last year. Barber is actually a really nice guy (met him before), I think what he said about his former team was wrong, but he got his punishment, and he did bring some good things to our team so everybody stop trashing him. He used to be my fave player but after what he said he's obviously not anymore, but I also respect the guy. He did nothing to actually hurt the team, and some fans (including me to some degree) are starting to forgive Burress, who most definitely changed the outcome of our season. I might me be packing for Tampa right now if it weren't for the Plaxico disaster. So let's just forgive Tiki already lol.
