TV Tiki has criticized lots of people, most from the safety of the TV booth. He has ripped Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning and Jenna Wolfe. Tiki has a new target for his criticism; Donovan McNabb. Tiki had this to say about McNabb's comments he made about not knowing an NFL game could end in a tie.
``That's an indefensible comment that he made,'' Barber, now a commentator for NBC Sports, said in an interview that will air Nov. 22 on Bloomberg's ``On the Ball'' radio program. ``He will live to regret it for a long time.''
Barber went on;
"For Donovan to be in the situation and not press for it, that tie, even though it wasn't a loss, it kills them,'' Barber said. ``They're almost out of the playoff race right now.''
McNabb isn't the first to get Tiki'd. Here's a quick history of Tiki's criticism of others he feels didn't do their job. One thing you never hear Tiki say is how crappy he played or how he screwed up. No wonder the Giants are better without him.
Tiki said after a playoff loss to the Panthers that they were outcoached. As Peter King, an admitted Tiki fan said; "It was a bad decision to make that statement. Just as you don't impugn your quarterback for a lousy game (and Eli Manning was a lot worse on Sunday than Tom Coughlin), you don't rip your coaching staff, even if you think it did a bad job. Hey, I love to see people speaking the truth, and if Barber believes what he said, good for us. Great story. But I also think it's something you don't do as a team guy." Tiki wasn't a team guy Peter, ask any of his former teammates.
He ripped Eli Manning after Tiki had retired saying; "His personality hasn't been so that he can step up, make a strong statement and have people believe that it's coming from his heart. He didn't feel like his voice was going to be strong enough and it showed," Barber said. "Sometimes it was almost comical the way that he would say things."
And then there was his on-air goof with Jenna Wolfe, calling her a "See You Next Tuesday" after she mentioned that he didn't have a Super Bowl ring when they were doing Olympioc updates for NBC from Beijing.

tiki is named after a grass shack, WHY would anyone take this dude seriusly.......BTW is this how it's gonna roll now.......everyone gonna jump the shit on D bandwagon. have fun with it folks, i'm done talkin about it. my QB just talked himself right outta the midnight green.
i guess donovan is the next rainman news story, ya dig!
I don't think it'll be another pacman story,he hasn't left anyone paralyzed because he didn't understand that when you give strippers money it's theirs.
The thing that really sucks is that DMac isn't a dumbass and he's not a troublemaker, he just said something dumb.
Too bad it'll stick with him.
i think he did this on purpose, he tossed us under the bus. he wants OUT of philly & this just sealed the deal.
Don't you think he could do it without looking this bad?
i've seen alot of players look alot worse dear. it is what it is. Donovan's gone at the end of the season.
Too bad, he should go out a hero in that city not like this, TO deserved to go out like this.
yeah we know that, but he apparently felt the need to do it his way!
