What a Giant jackass.
Rememeber how Tiki Barber up and left his wife when she was eight months pregnant for a 23-year-old NBC intern? And remember how Tiki got fired from NBC and then was unable to pay his divorce settlement?
Well, he has filed papers with the NFL so he can play teh footballs again. Why? Because he’s broke, son:
Barber, who turns 36 in April, hasn’t played since the 2006 season with the Giants, where he spent his entire 10-year career. Most recently he had been a correspondent for “The Today Show” and “Sunday Night Football” on NBC before the network did not renew his contract. He has been doing video work for Yahoo! Sports.
Barber, who had two years left on his Giants contract when he retired, will not be making his comeback with New York.
“We wish Tiki nothing but the best, and when we are able to make the transaction, we will release him from our reserve/retired list,” team spokesman Pat Hanlon said in a statement.
While owners and players are engaged in talks for a new collective bargaining agreement, teams are not allowed to make roster moves.
Lepselter, though, told FOXSports.com that “there are interested parties.”
“We are optimistic there will be opportunities for him,” he told ESPNNewYork.com.
Barber’s twin brother Ronde plays defensive back for the Buccaneers. Ronde Barber signed a one-year deal last month to return for a 15th season with Tampa Bay.
“After seeing my brother still have fun at our age, it reignited the fire,” Tiki Barber said, according to FOXSports.com. “I’m really looking forward to the challenge of seeing if I can get back to the level of where I was. I started working out again recently. It kind of shocked myself. I still had a lot of the strength I had before. I’m really looking forward to making a return.”
Fool, quit lyin’. You need the cash moneys to maintain the lifestyle to which your pretty young thang has become accustomed. No one’s buyin’ it.

Word. We don’t believe you Tiki, you need more people. Those alimony checks are killing you. We know, son. Karma is a bitch! Ain’t it.
My team (Tampa Bay Bucs) has the GOOD twin. Heh!
