Time for Tiki to shut up
Former New York Giant running back Tiki Barber did what he does best. That being criticizing players, and that player actually being Eli Manning. The statement that Barber made was so offensive amongst National Football League players that even Manning’s brother Peyton Manning came to his aid.
When a player of Peyton Manning’s stature comes to the defense of a current National Football League player, even if it is his brother, only one thing comes to mind in this situation. Tiki just SHUT THE HELL UP! The guy reminds me of a nagging wife that always puts down the husband, becuase they are uneducated to the subject at hand.
Barber probably actually helped his team if anything. What he did was teach Eli a valuable lesson in life. Not to put up with crap from people that are constantly negative, and have nothing good to say. Yeah it is best if you ignore them, but if they keep doing it then they deserve a good ass kicking.
I myself is starting to wonder if national television outlets are just going to far to get ratings. With the hiring of former players for inside analysis to attract viewers comes with it the negative. Half of these guys are screwed up from hits to the head, or years of drug use. Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Dieon Sanders, and Tiki Barber have at least two things in common that being they are former players, and complete morons.
Yes, there are some great former players currently in the media Ron Jaworski, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Terry Bradshaw, Dan Fouts, and Howie Long. They also have two things in common, and that being common sense and intelligence.
Just because you were once a great player does not mean that you are smartest player out there. Look at Vince Young he scored a seven on his wonderlic test, and he is considered one of the upcoming players in the league. So, maybe in the end the national tv outlets should take a look at those tests also.
