Tiki Barber is unretiring from football today. Because hey, who couldn’t use a media whore running back who talks shit out of the locker room and will be 36 by the time the season comes around?
But before we celebrate Tiki trying to make his child support payments, let’s all remember the collective handjob the media gave Barber for walking away from the game five years ago. Ricky Reilly:
“When I get home from work,” says Barber, “my [two- and four-year-old] kids come running at me. They make me get on my knees, and we play tackle football. On replacement knees, that’s not happening. I saw this video of O.J. Simpson once, and his kids came running at him and he couldn’t even pick them up. So I can see that if I play three or four more years, like everybody wants me to, that could be me. But when I’m 50 years old, and I’m having trouble just getting down the stairs, will they be cheering for me then?”
Meet Tiki Barber.
He walked, while he still could.
I know. Such courage. He walked, while he could still nail blonde chicks.
