The truth comes out! An unidentified Giants player said what most people were wondering: if Tiki Barber were still around, would the Giants be in the Super Bowl?"Tiki was all about Tiki," said a key Giants player, who asked not to be identified, speaking recently about the former Giants runner. "I don't get why people make this so complicated. If he was still on the team, we wouldn't be here (in the Super Bowl). Trust me on that. It would be a different locker room."
By different the player means more splintered, more finger pointing, less unified.
By different, he means worse.
"It's not a coincidence that he's gone and we're here," the player said. "You're a fool if you think it is."
And there it is. Earlier this week, FanHouse blogger Michael David Smith talked about how the Giants don't want him around and this player put that thought into stone. How can you blame them? The first thing that came out of his mouth was slamming former coach Tom Coughlin and ex-teammate Eli Manning. Now with the Giants in the Super Bowl without him, he's got a little egg on his face.

2. Remember they did go to the Superbowl in 2000 with Tiki as their RB!!! I think his comments just united the team - and he really didn't look great till the Patriots game when he hit a hot streak plus he didn't have Shockey calling for the ball all the time!

3. i was just waiting for one of the new york football giants to say this and i'm glad one finally did. whenever i see tiki one TV, I just want to vomit! he's probably the most uncharasmatic and annoying football commentator personality on television; and watching the other NBC announcers have to defend him when he goes over the line, it makes me dread the NBC pregame and halftime shows.
i'm not stupid, i know the giants won't be the patriots this sunday (and i despise the patriots so that makes me sad), but still, the thought of tiki at home with nothing to say while the team that hates him plays a historic game against the greatest team in nfl history: PRICLESS

8. Tiki is a closet queer and needs to just come out and join his friends. hey Tiki whatever blows your skirt up. I am sure the guys feel more safe in the shower without you in there. The years past they didn't want to take the extra shower with ya
