Here's hoping this divides the Giants locker room this weekend.

:cheers:

They're so used to this crap, it just spurs them on. Besides, we won't need any division to beat this team. Barber was the best player they had, & he's gone.

Man, can you just imagine what it was like hearing the little bi**h constantly complaining in the locker room all those years about what was wrong with this & who was wrong about that??! I think I would have had to take a stun gun to work with me just to shut him up for an hour.

Tiki didn't throw Coughlin under the bus. Coughlin was under that bus since last year. Tiki is just now driving that bus through a field of prickly pear cacti.

Cry me a river Tiki

:suxjints:

:cry:

Should be gratefull on the money you made....and that your coaches helped you cure your fumbling problems....

If a Coach made you quit........then play for someone else .....If playing Football was your passion......

Lost alot of respect for Tiki.....nice role model.....blame everyone else.......

do what Moma says " dont say anything if you dont have anything nice to say"

I can understand if he doesn't like Coughlin, but why the need to trash him now?

One thing that jumped out at me is that he said that by the end of last season he still loved football and would likey have not retired except that by the end of the season Couglin had sucked out the fun out of the game, yet he had announced his retiement early in the season.

I was a fan of Tiki as a player, and unlike many I have no problem with him retiring when he did - EVERYONE should be allowed to make that decision when they want, not when some fan or teammate wants, but ...........

he isn't doing himself any favors by sparring with Eli an Coughlin. Rather than coming across as a multi faceted person who left football to persue other interests - which seems to be the way he wants to be perceived - he is coming across as somewhat bitter and vindictive.

Imagine a former Cowboy player doing what Tiki is doing in this day. I know we have had former players rip the Cowboys before, but it is a different time now. The media would absolutely be eating this up and wouldn't let it go all season.

They put something in the water in NYC or what? They can't seem to stay out of the news lately.

Agreed. Seems a bit much.

I may be alone in this but I don't care if Tiki trashes the NYFG organization, the team, a player or a coach...more power to him..I think I don't care because...well...because I don't give a rats nads about the NYFG

I don't have a problem with Tiki talking but he should remember it was Coughlin who taught him how to carry the ball correctly.

Tiki is just trying to establish his journalistic cred. With his pearly smile and flair for the sensational, he should have little problem distinguishing himself among the noble fraternity of mediots. Next up, co-anchor of Access Hollywood.
