Eli Manning Gives Tiki Barber the Virtual Finger with Super Bowl Performance
Remember the beginning of the NFL season when former New York Giant turned NBC “correspondent”/hack accused former teammate Eli Manning a poor leader who seemed confused?
Well, while Tiki has been blabbing on TV, QB Eli has just completed the most improbable run to and through the playoffs, capped off by a brilliant performance in the Super Bowl, beating what some commentators thought was the greatest team in league history.
Do you think Tiki (and what the hell kind of name is “Tiki” for a grown man?), who is now reportedly hated by former teammates and New York fans alike, will eat crow and change his tune about Eli?
I doubt it.
Perhaps the loss of big ego Tiki from the Giants’ lockerroom was another reason the Giants were able to make their great run.
I can’t tell you how much pleasure it gave me to watch the playoffs and the Super Bowl and watch Eli Manning give the virtual finger to Barber.
Congratulations, Eli, Mr. Super Bowl MVP and to the rest of the coaches, staff, players, and owners of the New York Giants. While you showed grit and class, Tiki tried to get ratings by ratting out his former teammates.
Perhaps there really is justice in this world.
