BlackMagic,
That is like saying because you think Hitler was a dirtball you can’t criticize Vick. Because Vick, ya know, didn’t start the Holocaust.
Silly argument, now go don your LT #56 jersey with pride. Or maybe the Plax or Christian Peter throwbacks. Maybe a Tito Wooten?

@JayPhilly
Just cheer for your animal torturing & killing, herpes spreading QB. It’s amazing to see the amount of Eagle fans that gave that sadistic selfish thug a standing ovation & are wearing his jersey now trashing other NFL fans.
Mc Nabb was a class act & you all treated him like a loser. Keep cheering that slug you now have at QB & post how other players are such jerks.
As always Eagle fans want to act like they are abused, look no further than the comment here to see why they are the NFL’s most hated fans.

PS – Giants fans, good job by you to boo that dirtball!

Another Eagle fan giving Vick a standing ovation & calling Tiki a dirt ball.
No matter what Tiki is, he’s still country miles ahead of your QB for behavior & morals. At least he isn’t spreading VD.
The hypocrisy of Eagle fans is never ending.

Yea, if Philly fans treated McNabb the way Giants fans treat Tiki we’d be hearing about it for the next 55 years.
Tiki is right, NY fans can’t stand to hear anything but sunshine and puppies about themselves, their city, and their team.
That said, he’s a pompous jerk.

Sounds a lot like Troy Aikman calling a Cowboys game, he is wretched. He seems to go out of his way to not be biased and in doing so is very critical of everything the Cowboys do. There is enough to be critical about with the Cowboys, I don’t need Aikman piling on.

Nah…for those who are conscientious…we’d know that most ‘booers’ are leftist morons…the booes were subconscious hate toward the fact that he is ‘real’ and worked for the THE PEOPLE’s News Network…Fox. C’mon let’s be aware now….Go Barber for being another up and coming ‘real’ person….like WE THE PEOPLE are rising up to stand up the this deceptive administration this November…Barber is rising up to stand up to the leftist morons that permeate the NFL….

Don’t flatter yourself Tiki. You’re a d-bag and the Giants won the SB without you. Suck it you big-headed prick.

That’s a very positive attitude to have when a lot of people do, in fact, hate you.

You’re a little loser TIKI. Even your teen-age tramp / girlfriend thinks so.

The quote, “”I’ve always wanted to be succinct and to the point about what my opinion is, based on what my experiences are. And if people hate me for that, they hate me.” is a perfect example of the problem Tiki. A person who makes such a statement can only do if he can be viewed as a moral authority. If such a statement is made by a person of integrity, people may not always be crazy about what you say, but they respect the person making the statement (like Tom Coughlin). When the team is down 1-2 and you’re taking pot shots at a coach everyone knows you have never liked it comes across as disingenuous and fake. The smirking tone of your words gives you away.

Tiki Barber is one of the great running backs of all time, I don’t know how you can boo a guy like that. If you don’t care for what he says, then understand that is he’s right for speaking freely. That guy gave a lot to that Giants organization.

Giants fans don’t hate him because he goes out of his way to be overly critical of the Giants. They hate him because he goes out of his way to be a pompous ass. And I am a Giants fan…who owns a Tiki Barber jersey. Awesome.

Kinda like Rich Gannon when he calls a Raider game from the booth. These guys always seem to imply “this team cannot succeed without me”. That’s what I get from this behavior. The Giants won the Super Bowl as soon as Tiki left. That just HAD to hurt. “Yeah, but look at everything they’re doing wrong!” lol.

Prior to TC being the coach Tiki could not hold on to the ball TC taught him how to hold the ball high and tight
Then Tiki leaves and the first words out of his mouth are anti TC
Tiki is a low class scum his name in the ring of Honor is a joke
Why would the fans care if he left we won it all the next year.

It was his mocking of Eli’s leadership which did it for me- pointless and classless, and proven the next year to be inaccurate. And he also started talking about his impending retirement halfway through his final year, another loser move.

Tiki admitted ripping former teammates just to establish himself as an “professional” broadcaster. Going overboard to criticize one team is not professional.
His personal life is none of my business, but it’s ironic that he sacrificed his teammates to establish his “professionalism” in his broadcast career … then he sacrificed his broadcast career because he could not behave professionally with his staff.
I’m not a Giants fan and have no ax to grind with Barber. I just don’t enjoy watching him because he appears to be very arrogant.

While Barber has had quite a few PR nightmares since his retirement, it’s still pretty classless to boo him at his ceremony.
————————————-
No better not to care about the character & morals of your players. You would know all about that giving Mike Vick a standing ovation. You have no credibility as an hypocritical Eagle fan posting on Giant players. SHUT UP SLOW JOE

Tiki’s fading broadcasting career is a direct reflection of him as a former pro footballer, husband, and man.
Fox has a history of hiring infamous characters and giving them a mike.

He’s a good reporter but you know the fact that the Giant’s won a Super Bowl right after he retired eats away at him. He regrets that and he wears it on his face.

Tiki,
We don’t hate you because you “retired at the top of your career.” Believe me that is not the case….at all. We hate you because you run your mouth about the team and the stunt you pulled leaving your wife. Win a Super Bowl and then you earn the right to talk trash about your former team otherwise just keep it closed.

Happened to catch Tiki being interviewed on the Morning Joe Show by Miki Brzezinski the year he retired. Right in the middle of the interview he asks her to go out to dinner with him. Unbelievable; what a classless troll.

Or, Tiki, maybe they booed you because you were, and still are, a complete putz…just a thought.

Oh those upstanding Giant turds! From Gifford to Parcells to LT to Strahan to Tiki – just good, solid family men and role models. From flight attendants to sleeping with a male friend in his one bedroom apartment to interns to underage prostitutes – just good, solid lifestyle choices. That’s 5 0f 30 “men of honor” for the Giants. Good work! Stewardesses, cocaine and whores, oh my! Hail!

Wake up Tiki. People hate you because of what you did to your wife and kids. Even my three-year-old says “What a bad daddy” any time your polished head shows up on TV.

Great stuff Giants fans.
As a Pats fan I am still bitter about your lucky Superbowl victory, but man, I have gained some respect for you guys with your putting shithead Tiki in his place. 1 out of 56 comments is pro-Tiki. Wow!
Nice work.

Wow, where to begin. Back in the day, on Sundays, more often than not, I was thrilled to have Barber on my side. No question he had talent on the football field. That was reason enough to like him. After he left, he has done nothing to warrant any support or cheers! Of course, the fans are gonna be more loyal to the current team than to retired players. All you need to do is look at two famous criticisms of the Giants. The first came before the Superbowl season, trashing Manning and Coughlin. Then came the Superbowl. I used to have a video of Tiki wearing a suit and tie interviewing Eli who was wearing Superbowl champions shirt and hat, and it was fun to watch every time. Not a peep from Tiki after that. Then, after the statute of limitations ran out on that SB win, so to speak, and at the first time of trouble, he pounced again. Why couldn’t he have waited until after the ceremony? Because he loves attention, good or bad. What a loser.

No one?? Really?
Okay, I’ll just look it up myself . . . .

What a self-delusional narcissist!!! No one wasbooing you because you left at the “top” of your game. They are booing you because you are a selfish, self-centered egotist that stabbed Eli in the back on the way out, stabbed Coughlin in the back, oh yeah, and stabbed your pregnant-with-twins wife in the back with another woman. You’re a Peasant Tiki! A downright charade of class and intelligence. Capping your teeth and smiling pretty for the camera don’t make you a person worth cheering. BUM!
