Oh look! he’s holding the football the same way he does when he’s in a game.

Who cares? Young running backs are a dime a dozen. Older running backs are a nickel for 2 dozen. Really old, out of touch, retired running backs……Tiki should pay the team that takes him on for the priviledge. When he was good he wasn’t that good.

Stupid, irrelevent stories designed to hold our interest until the NFL blows up on Thursday or Friday.

i can’t imagine any team signig somebody who has been out of the game 4 seasons! he has to be doing this because he’s pissed his money away and can’t get another job!

How old is this guy you ask?

Here are some other players also drafted in 1997 for comparison:

Orlando Pace
Ike Hilliard
Warrick Dunn
Tony Gonzalez
Antowain Smith (I’m actually laughing at this point)
Jake Plummer
Corey Dillon
Darren Sharper
Jason Taylor

I guess his stint on the Today Show is not working out so well. Four years out is too long to try to come back. Ronde inspiring him is not very promising. Hasn’t Ronde retired by now? If not, perhaps he should join Tiki.

Its hard enough to miss one year and still be a great player. To ask someone to come back after missing the past four seasons at the age of 36 is asking a lot. I would instantly lose respect for any team that signs him.

Why not? It’s his career and won’t affect anyone making comments on here. Besides, it’s not like he was going to be on the HOF ballot.

What are the chances that Tiki is hoping that the new CBA treats recently retired players better than ones who retired before a specific date. Meaning that he may milk from the NFL by un-retiring in name only.

I guess its not as crazy as Herschel Walker’s alleged remarks

Tiki,

You’re too early! April Fool’s Day isn’t for another weeks…

Don’t kid yourself. Stay retired. Herschel Walker has a better chance at making a comeback than you.

Although, it would be entertaining to watch his trainwreck.

Jeez I guess he must have pulled a matutolypea —– At his age for the NFL he will really be a mackabroin —— I think he must have galeanthropy or somthing, lots of people have galeophobia ——– But Tiki always been a bit sanguinivorous —- Luckaly he’s not saprophagous though —– I don’t reaaly see it happening anyway, I think he’ll have to mayby give schoenobatist a try but he may just have to settle in as a domatologist or somthing —– But Tiki back in the NFL —- I can hardley wait ——– NOT

this guy is a sissy….CANT WAIT for him to get hit and fold up like a snell…..

time to build on that fumble count………seriously tho, i could see him joining the patriots stable of backs. Remember, Ricky williams made a somewhat similar post-30 comeback and was successful.

“Despite his age, the fact that Tiki has taken no hits for the past four years should allow him to play younger. ”

No hits to the body, just to the reputation and wallet….

Screw Tiki. This jerk left his 8 month pregnant wife of twins for some skank. I hope he blows his knee out.

Oh, and Mike … I normally don’t object to beefcake. But he’s wearing enough oil in that photo to fry chicken. Ewww.

LMAO… Tiki, get yourself a better financial advisor. He prolly has a good one, but he’s just popping out babies like crazy. Divorce, child support and alimony will put you in financial ruins.

Seeing the headline, I thought, “End his retirement from what? Broadcasting?” He’s 36. Even without the last four years of wear and tear, that would make him 32, and he’s gotten used to a softer life. Even if a team were willing to take a chance, he’s not worth close to the money he made at retirement. And he tried to build his now-defunct broadcast career or ripping his former coach and teammates. Who’d want to bring that into the locker room?

I hope that he comes back to the G-men. First practice, I bet Eli goes ‘The Longest Yard’ on Tiki, throwing the ball right into little tiki.

I really don’t think there’s going to be any interest in a 36 year-old running back who hasn’t played in 4 years. Teams are already generally disinterested in running backs once they turn 30. For example, you have guys like Willie Parker out there who didn’t play at all last season and is considered washed up despite only being 30. Tiki’s post-football career clearly didn’t turn out at all like he imagined.
