Filed under: NY Giants , NFL Media Watch , New York Could former Giants running back and current NBC analyst Tiki Barber possibly return to the NFL next year? As far-fetched as that may have seemed only a few days ago, it appears that Barber is no longer so sure of his decision to leave the game . “I miss football. I want to be out there playing on Sunday afternoons. I miss the stage. I also miss the guys a little bit because they were my close friends for so many years. In fact, I ran into Jeremy Shockey on the street the ... Read Full Story

  It’s often been said that football is a battle of inches. Recently, Tiki Barber, the former Giant and current television analyst had surprisingly harsh comments about his former teammate, Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Those comments cast doubt about Manning’s ability to lead an offense.

The one time teammate relationship between former New York Giant running back Tiki Barber and current quarterback Eli Manning appears to be on shaky ground. This stemming from a now war of words between the two that the loudmouth Barber started on Sunday night at halftime of the Giants-Ravens broadcast on NBC, as Barber threw out some stinging comments about the leadership qualities of his former QB. Barber went so far as to say that the Manning’s delivery of a motivational speech last season was “almost comical the way he would say things.” Much like his older and wiser brother Peyton, Eli took the ...
