Shut Up Tiki Barber

Tiki Barber, why don't you shut the hell up. Since becoming a studio guy for NBC's Sunday Night Football all Tiki Barber has done is use every second of his airtime to bash the New York Giants. I'm tired of it already. Tiki just needs to shut the hell up.

Two weeks ago, he called Eli Manning's public speaking comical.

Today, it came out that Tiki is AGAIN bashing Giants Coach Tom Coughlin in his new book: "How Tom Coughlin cured my fumblitis and turned me into a Pro Bowl Player." Actually, that's not the name of it, but I'm not going to publicize Tiki's upcoming piece of garbage. In the book, Tiki says that he probably still would be playing for the Giants - rather than bashing them on the sidelines - if Tom Coughlin was no longer the coach of the team. You know what Tiki, you are Terrell Owens in sheep's clothing and I don't want you any longer.

From the playoff loss to the Carolina Panthers in 2005 to countless times during the 2006 season, Tiki took ever opportunity to bash Tom Coughlin and rip apart the New York Giants from the seams. After he mistakingly told a New York Times reporter that he was retiring at the end of the 2006 season, Tiki served as a complete and utter distraction for the whole season. Now, that's he's not on the Giants roster this season, he's trying to do it again.

This time, Tiki is using his NBC Football Podium to bash the Giants every chance he gets. Get some new material, Tiki.

It's true that Coughlin might not have been the nicest coach in the league and I totally buy the fact that many of the players on the team hate his guts, but I sure think it's garbage that Tiki continually bashes the Giants coach after Coughlin cured Tiki's horrible tendency to fumble the ball at the slightest touch from a defender.

• Under Coughlin, Tiki lost 4 fumbles in 3 years, after losing 11 in the previous 3 years.
• Under Coughlin, Tiki rushed for 1518 yards in '04, 1860 in '05 and 1662 in '06.
• Under Coughlin, Tiki made the Pro Bowl three straight years.

And now that he's not on the Giants any longer, Tiki's taking every step possible to distract the team again. Seems to me that Tiki should be thanking Couglin rather than bashing him. So that's why I say, shut up Tiki Barber.
