New York Giants Tiki to Retire

According to the NY Times, Tiki Barber say he will retire after this year.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/18/sp...Pg&oref=slogin

Quote:
During a promotional book tour in Manhattan, Barber said he was “leaning toward” retiring, and that he had “pretty much” made up his mind. Asked what would force him to reconsider, he said, “Nothing.”
Hope he wins a Super Bowl this year, not only b/c I'm a Giants fans but b/c it would be a deserving finish to a very nice career.

Helluva player. Too bad to see him go at the end of the year. Although it looks like the Giants will be in good hands giving the ball off to his replacement.

I wish he would retire effective today. He can un-retire a week from today.

Tiki's a class act, the NFL will miss him. Anybody see him as a commentater in the future?

Yes, there we go, we can now officially blame Canada for Tiki Barber's retirement! Lol, but joking aside I think it would be nice to have him go into commentating. Definitely a player deserving of respect.

Never fails, right!?
I almost bought a Tiki jersey this year myself.
Look at it this way, you'll have another throwback jersey in your collection.

Back in the days of Rodney Hampton I bought a #27 jersey with no name on the back. I still have it so now it's a Brandon Jacobs jeresy.

The worst was when I bought a nice Orange Peca Islanders jersey, you know the works with the C and all. Dropped a nice dollar on it too. Next thing you know there is a strike. Then the Islanders trade him before the next season.


A Tiki Barber jersey is still worth owning even if and after he retires.




Next question!
Is Tiki Hall of Fame material?

I'll say yes!

I was thinking the same thing, is this guy worthy of the hall, he has a outside shot, certanly arguable.

Hopefully they go all the way to the NFC Championship this year.

I want the Panthers to win the Super Bowl this year, of course, but I don't want his last year in the NFL to suck completely.

Hands down the best offensive player to ever play for the Giants.

Could be. It seems as though he'll have a lot of options to choose from.

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. He said he'll retire in all likelihood at the end of the season. Let's wait until the end of the season before we wave goodbye.

Why, yes, part of this IS fueled by the fact I don't want Tiki to go just yet...

Do me a favor and philly too buy TO's jersey

Watched guy on NFL network and Tony Kornhieser say Tiki should play until he cant play no more if Tiki has enough money and enough opportunies elsewhere he should do what he wants i hate t see him go i love the way he plays but dont want to see him unable to walk the way some RB's end up after their career is over...... Sorry your retiring but if its your choice glad you gave G-Men enough notice to be able to plan for future and let Jacobs know he is going to be the Man next year!!!! Retire his number he is DESERVING and get ready for Two Busts in Canton can use the same mold for his and Ronde's
