OT Tiki Barber plans to unretire and play football in 2011...
So Tiki filed his papers alerting the NFL he plans to unretire? Lets hope that one Barry Sanders reads that and decides its time for him to come back as well.
Im being serious, I really want Barry back.

Barry is like 40 now.
Honestly I don't care if he was dead, I still think he could play. Plus then the Lions won't have to worry about drafting any O linemen in the first round as Barry has no need for blocking
Speaking of still playing, why the hell did we not hire Yost as HC, Bo as DC and Crisler as OC?
Take him.
Guess he had no other options after his TV career flamed out spectacularly, after he revealed himself as being the biggest dirtbag known to man.
If he really needs the money, he can be spokesman for Bad Idea Jeans.
I could probably look it up, but what did he do to ruin his tv gig? I do remember seeing him all over NBC shortly after he retired, and then he was gone.
I think he cheated on his pregnant wife with an NBC intern or some shit like that.
Not to mention that dickwad stabbed every Giants player and coach in the back as soon as he got on TV. Ripped the Giants and Coughlin, even though without Coughlin teaching him how to hold the ball properly, he would've been out of the league after 3 years. Dick. Stay away.
Worse. Left his 8 months pregnant (with twins) wife for a 20 year old. That, combined with many lesser offenses and idiotic comments that showed him to be a complete putz.
Wow. Yeah, I hope he fails.
I hope he's returning to football because she cleaned his ass out of child support and he needs some kind of paycheck to stay afloat. Tiki and Ronde might be twins, but it looks likeonly Ronde has class. Cheating on your wife of 11 years when she's 8 months along with twins definitely deserves a court supported pillaging of your savings account.
As a Giants fan, I would appreciate it if Tiki would stay as far away from the franchise as possible. He burned a lot of bridges during his time with NBC.
seems like no one on the Giants want him back. They own the rights to him but will let him go.
My guess is his comeback lasts about two weeks, if that long, before he realizes that the game has passed him by.
Someone should tell Tiki about the lockout.
It would be far more amusing if he worked out all spring and summer only to have someone tell him in late August that the lack of apparent interest was because there had been a lockout since March,
Ironic that the Giants won a Super Bowl immediately after he retired.
Almost as ironic as a No Smoking sign on your cigarette break.
Karmic justice is what I call it.
Rumors are that he's coming back because his girlfriend wasn't born during his career and never got to watch him play.
BTW, big Giants fan and was at the game this year where they announced their ring of honor. Tiki got booed like hell. LT, in the midst of some pretty serious statutory rape accusations and thus unable to attend, was loudly cheered.
It's no coincidence. The guy torpedoed the 2006 season to go on Tiki's Retirement Tour. Then proceeded to call out Eli and Coughlin, who were actually able to win something without that cancer in the lockerroom. Acted like he was above doing sports on TV and failed first at non-sports and then at sports too. Also the leaving the pregnant wife thing, but that's discussed above. A true scumbag who nobody would remember if Coughlin hadn't got him to stop fumbling 13 times a season. Hope he goes to the Eagles and Tuck breaks his leg.
I used to work at Rockefeller Center Cafe in NY where the skating rink is during the winter. During the summer there is an outdoor cafe area there in place of the rink. Tiki and his agent used to come in all the time and get hammered and act like complete douchebags! Can't stand that guy. What an ass hat!!
From the behavior I saw, It wouldn't surprise me if he had cheated with more than just the intern. Guy was all over anything with boobs and legs.
My favorite Tiki Barber moment was when his Virginia Cavaliers lost @ U-M back on 8-26-95.
Dreisbach to Hayes!
Favorite Tiki related quote is from the Tosh.0 web redemption of the Crying Giants fan. In the fake press conference someone asks the crying giants fan "if tiki and ronde barber are identical twins, how come tiki's the only one who sucks cock"
How sweet, btw, that there was no instant replay back then.
Instant replay would have confirmed it.
I wasn't making a statement one way or the other as to whether it was good. Instead, I was merely observing how nice it was that the call was made on the field and there wasn't a five minute delay to find out whether the play stood or not. I'm not an instant replay fan.
