Tiki not bothered by some fans booing

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:01:01 -0500

Tiki Barber knew some fans at Giants Stadium would boo when he was introduced before yesterday's game against the Cowboys.

Game Day: Cowboys (8-3) at Giants (6-5)

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:09:40 -0500

Big game. Huge game. Enormous game. Gigantic … Well, you get the idea. This is basically it as far as the NFC East race goes. A loss by the Giants and they can focus their attention solely on the wild-card — though even that could be a reach if the Eagles and Packers win today. I always hesitate to call something a “must-win” unless it actually is, but this one is pretty close. After five losses in six games, the Giants are physically in a dire position. But mentally...

Run, Giants run! Or, why can't the Giants run any more?

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:00:13 -0500

by Chris O'Meara - AP What is wrong with the New York Giants running game? Plenty, but one big thing is that we just have not seen enough of this -- Brandon Jacobs with the football. View full size photo » What is wrong with the New York Giants' running game? Everyone seems to have an opinion, so here is mine. I think the answer is two-fold. The offensive line is not playing as well as it has the past co...

Bradshaw Breakdown: The Right Kind of Touches

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:42:13 -0500

Look, the Giants for most of my adult life have been great at utilizing short passes to their backs and receivers — but in the past few years since Tiki Barber has departed, the strategy of dumping off to the backs on a regular basis seems to have departed as well. Admittedly, my problem with [...]

Tiki Barber's Dream Of TV Omnipresence Deferred

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:45:10 -0500

Tiki was once hailed by NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker as a "one of those rare personalities who appeals to virtually every audience imaginable." Every audience except a football audience, that is. According to the New York Daily News, Barber's porcelain presence and cocky attitude hasn't impressed NBC Sports execs who have decided to add a couple more talking heads to the "Football Night In America" mix (Rodney Harrison, Tony Dungy), bringing the total to 78 analys...

Tiki Barber’s TV Career Not Taking Off

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:18:29 -0500

Tiki Barber has become the forgotten man at NBC, quietly phased out of the spotlight. Two years removed from his considerably-hyped arrival as an analyst for NBC’s Sunday night football show and a sidekick role on the “Today” show, the former New York Giants running back has been relegated to on-site reporting duty, according to Bob [...]

Jerome Bettis Reportedly Out At NBC

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:51:19 -0500

This is just speculation, but it's being WIDELY speculated today. Jerome Bettis will not have his contract renewed by NBC, and will be left out in the cold come this season on the network. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald mentioned this when Madden's retirement announcement came down, and now Neil Best is reporting the same thing.... Three years after his much-ballyhooed, post-Super Bowl, announced-during-the-Winter Olympics hiring, it is likely NBC football analyst Jerome Bettis wi...

Tiki Barber Has To Be Loving His Decision To Retire Today

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:59:54 -0500

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 th...

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:57:16 -0500

'Cowardly' Barber blasted by media peers

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 16:22:09 -0500

You just have to love this, Giants fans. Tiki Blabber's media peers have taken him to the woodshed for his comments about his old team. Former players-turned-broadcasters said that Blabber's comments were way out of bounds.

Michael Irvin Fires Back at Tiki

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:12:05 -0500

And now the moment you've all been waiting for: Michael Irvin responds to Tiki Barber, who recently called Irvin an "idiot." The response itself will blow your mind, but the whole thing leaves me suspicious that ESPN is fueling this little feud, getting everybody ready for when Tiki takes Irvin's job next year.

Shut up Michael Irvin. Now.

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 21:24:25 -0500

Michael Irvin has no room to talk about Tiki Barber or his impending retirement.
