Tiki Barber Needs to Shutup

Tiki Barber has to be the most annoying broadcaster ever and his recent PR stunt attacking the Giants and Coach Tom Coughlin is getting old in a hurry. Barber, who works for NBC, was on the Today Show blaming Tom Coughlin for his early retirement. "Coughlin robbed me of what had been one of the most important thing I had in my life," Barber wrote in his soon to be released memoirs. "If Tom Coughlin had not remained as head coach of the Giants, I might still be in a Giants uniform."

Of course, since Tiki works for NBC, they are eating this up. Nevermind the fact that Tiki announced he would be retiring mid-season...while the Giants were still in a playoff position. Nevermind the fact that Tiki was the biggest complainer the Giants had and caused more issues with that team than anyone else.

Tiki was upset with Coughlin because Coughlin wouldn't bow down to the delicate genius that is Tiki Barber. Barber believes he knows better than everyone and is probably the most self-consumed and self-indulgent people in all of sports. The fact is that Tiki wanted to quit and people have given him a bad time for being a quitter on a team mid-season...so he's looking for anyone to blame it on to take the heat off his back.

Last today...stayed up last night and watched Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick at the U.S. Open in straight sets. Roddick is now 1-14 vs. Federer. Roger is unbelievable...Roddick at his best can't compete with Federer. Roddick's defeat means that for the first time since 1989, no American male will reach a Grand Slam final during a calendar year. Not sure what happened to American tennis...but it has a long way to go to catch back up with the world.
