jerseygiantfan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 NFL Rumors & Notes Tiki Barber's wife was the catalyst behind the Giants star's decision to hang up his helmet. A longtime friend of Barber says she made him afraid he'd suffer a catastrophic injury that would turn him into a lousy dad. The 205-pound running back is heading for the broadcasting booth at age 31 because Ginny Barber has been "nagging him for a long time - and with others present - that he'd better retire before he has a crippling injury," Barber's friend says. If that happened, Ginny told him, "he couldn't participate in raising his children." Posted November 02, by Ben Maller That bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9697 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 She does have a point. Tiki is not a really big guy and he gets a lot of carries. Ever see Earl Campbell these days ? he can barely walk. He should just ask TC if Brandon Jacobs can split the load with him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 He needs to play one more year! I wishe he would, but family comes first. The only thing that bothers me is I get the feeling Tiki doesn't desire to play anymore. He's still a great RB, but i can't rule out that he's simply keeping up his rep for his future. oh well, itstill helps us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the difference between him and his brother.....Tiki is a better player but wants to quit and Ronde said he won't leave til the kick him out.

Fair to say the body of a CB takes far less punishment than that of a running back. On a different note, the running game isn't only about the running back. It's about the offensive line. a running back is only as good as his OL is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, i loved tiki from when he played for UVA and was ecstatic when we drafted him, but in all honesty, I'm kinda dissappointed in him. not so much retiring early, but he just doesn't have a desire to play anymore.

Ditto Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 That really sucks. If the desire’s gone, so be it. Otherwise, let him play! With her attitude, it’s a wonder she lets him go out in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I watched Inside NFL last night and she was up there with the Barber mother. Mrs. Tiki did not look happy at all watching the game. I could see her feeling that way. And, she's hot enough for him to want to appease her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Tiki is un able to "Walk" he kids will probably be playing football in the NFL.. I think its a poor reason and I for one don't think its true. Tiki has other plans and ideas on what he want to do with his life. He doesn't see himself as a football player anymore and its perfectly fine.

Ofcourse he has other things in mind and he doesn't wanna play amymore. But from the wifes side of things, 1 bad hit and her husband could be paralized for life or even dead.
