That's pretty pitiful. Here's to him not catching on with a team after being such a jerk face to his ex-wife.
^very nice...would definitely hit... but yeah a douche move...not sure he'll catch on but I'm sure someone will
strangely enough . . .you never hear anything jerky about Ronde. Is Ronde still in the league? Playing at a high level? Rocket River
http://www.montanakaimin.com/sports/alger-a-tale-of-two-brothers-1.2102433 Alger: A tale of two brothers Tiki Barber’s return to the NFL By Tyson Alger * On the surface, they're identical. From the thick eyebrows, megawatt smile and silky-smooth voice, Tiki and Ronde Barber are, to the naked eye, the same person. They are the quintessential tale of two brothers. Two twins. Two stars. When the two were drafted out of the University of Virginia in 1997, they took the NFL by storm. Tiki, as the New York Giants' explosive running back, and Ronde, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' go-to shutdown corner. Combined, the two have eight Pro Bowl selections, four first-team all-pro selections and Ronde's one Super Bowl. On the field, the two were also stellar. They were as similar as two twins playing on opposite sides of the ball could be. They were dominant. Ronde quietly became one of the leagues most reliable defensemen. Tiki, on the other hand, blossomed into the star of New York. He became the franchise's all-time leader in rushing yards and signed all sorts of endorsement deals. Then he opened his mouth. In 2007, Tiki retired to pursue activities outside of football. He said all the right things at the time. He wanted to be able to walk when he was older and play with his kids. He wanted to write books. He wanted to be a TV star. He wanted to retire on top. And he did start retirement on top. He signed on as a commentator for NBC Sports and quickly gained fame as the guy who called out his former coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning. Tiki couldn't talk enough about his playing days and those he used to share the confines of a locker room with. But then all the talk came back to bite Tiki. While Ronde was earning a paycheck on the field with stellar, professional play, Tiki witnessed his former team, led by the quarterback, whose leadership skills Tiki called "comical," pull off one of the greatest Super Bowl wins of all time over the, at the time, undefeated New England Patriots. As Ronde and the Giants continued to see success, Tiki's star collapsed. Tiki began to see less and less airtime on the networks. Then the bomb dropped. In April of 2010, it was reported that Tiki was leaving his wife of 11 years, Ginny, who at the time was eight months pregnant, for a 23-year-old NBC intern. That was the day that America realized that Tiki wasn't the squeaky-clean nice guy his PR people shaped him to be. That was the day that America learned that Tiki Barber was a scumbag. NBC promptly terminated his reported $300,000 contract and Tiki was left without a job, a wife, money and, most of all, a following. This leads us to today. Tiki, who turns 36 next month, announced on Tuesday that he is going to attempt a comeback to the NFL at an age that is six years north of the unofficial washed-up age for running backs. Never mind the fact that the New York Post reported in July that Tiki was broke. Tiki is now going to have to step onto the gridiron — assuming that a team takes him on — and answer to everyone he opened his mouth about. Players will be out to get him and the paycheck that he so desperately needs will be one of the hardest to get. Meanwhile, Ronde just quietly signed on for his 15th season with the Bucs. A tale of two brothers indeed. tyson.alger@umontana.edu
Amazingly self-destuctive behavior for such a smart guy, I think he was valedictorian of his high school class and a computer science major at UVA. Hopefully he has hit rock bottom, everyone has a right to redeem themselves in America.
Just shows you that academic accolades with financial success and being moral and ethical aren't mutually exclusive. Also, the women who agree to the affairs with the scumbags knowing they have expecting wives at the home, what happened to calling those women homewreckers and floozies? Even though men can lie to women, "Would Hit" status does not excuse them from blame.
I hear you. Over the years I've seen so many 22-23 year-olds run off with older men it isn't funny. One example, the married chairman of a major company in Houston where I worked had a lengthy affair with a blond in my department. She was just being an opportunist. Since he was chairman, nobody could fire him.
Karma's a b****. I have to admit....I'm not all that impressed by the NBC salary. $300K a year in NY isn't that awesome.
Maybe they should sign Tiki to play some DB, since Aqib Talib is goin' to the slammer for bustin' a cap.
