Talent wins out, if Tiki works out for the teams and has something left– he will be signed.

—————————————-

That comment is a cold, hard fact … yet it received overwhelming thumbs down. If you saw Tiki’s conditioning regimen in the HBO special, you know he’s probably got something left. The Giants are willing to release him. No matter how big an ass he’s been off-field, he always did his job on the field. And he’ll be willing to take less. He’ll probably end up on a roster. Initially I wouldn’t have thought it would be with the Steelers, but Moore is a FA and we could use another power back. If he has a good tryout, it wouldn’t shock me if we signed him for a year. If he did his job and kept his mouth shut, I wouldn’t care.

Tiki will be a servicable back for someone in the NFL next year. He could surprise a lot of people.

Tiki is in for a rude awakening when he finds out how few teams have even a shred of interest in a RB of his age.

Steelers and Bucs would both be good fits. Somebody convince me why the Steelers or Bucs wouldn’t want Tiki? Here are my reasons why:

Steelers: Mendenhall is a workhorse but this is a two back league now. Mewelde Moore? Isaac Redman? Dwyer? Want to overpay for my boy Ahmad Bradshaw or take a one-year 3 mil flyer on a potential solid role player?

Overpay for Bradshaw?? They guy is 25 and had a 1,000 yard year but you think a 36 y/o out of the league for 3 years would be a better fit. Don’t quit your day job buddy

Mr. “I cheated on my pregnant wife” wants to play football again?

Sorry Tiki, your image is toast. No Favreian comebacks or new TV jobs will save you.

Try being a better husband/father first and maybe someone will let you do a voice in an animated TV show or something.

What? Herschel Walker ain’t available?
If the Steelers really wanted to sign a washed up running back, I’m pretty sure they still have Jerome and Willie’s phone numbers.
Actually, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Bus back in the lineup, especially on the goal-line. Big Ben’s two-inch vertical leaps followed by fumbles just aren’t gettin’ it done.

i would be shocked… you’d have thought tampa would have learned its lesson after Derrick Ward. I doubt highly that he will end up on the bucs. if anything I say the bucs are of ‘token’ interest as a favor to Ronde, their interest in him makes Tiki’s value go up.

Tiki is an unknown commodity at this point. Who knows if he if his veteran status will help him, or if his age will keep him from excelling. Either way the only known aspect to his game is that he is a locker room cancer. As a GIANTS fan, and a former Tiki fan I wish him all the Karma he deserves. I hope to see him leave the field on a stretcher in the first quarter of the first game, regardless of what team he plays for. Thanks for the memories, but after you left NY, your polished media image tarnished pretty quickly. Bashed your team, coaches and QB, turned on your preggo wife, failed at your media career, why does football want you back? Wait, it doesn’t.

If any team picks him up, it will be someone with an established veteran running back.

I am still in disbelief that he is attempting this. I guess his hope is that a team like the Steelers or Colts pick him up and then win a Super Bowl and he retires right after.

Who care what teams are on his short list.
What’s more important is which teams have himon their list.
I have a short list of teams I’d like to play for too but that will never happen.

Favre hands off to Tiki, Tiki fumbles, and a nation bursts into laughter. These are the losers that will be signed if the lockout doesn’t end. But hey, they’ll just be having fun out there.
