OT: Tiki Barber files paper to come out of retirement.

[Froob]

ideal age for an RB by pats standards.........sign the beast

I think pats will look for a more injury prone back.

I hear Maroney is perfect for that role and is available... so lets bring him back!

Wasn't this guy on NBC and just about hosted every big event? Did he do something that got him canned by the network?

no, but NBC doesn't pay anywhere near the NFL minimum. Someone might give him a chance, or he could always end up in the UFL.

I don't remember anything specific, but I do know a lot of people just didn't think he was very good as a broadcaster. IIRC he was a casualty of the revamping of NBC's Sunday night show, where they decided it was too crowded so they got rid of Barber and some other guys including Jerome Bettis.

I always remember a comment I saw on an Internet forum: "It's about time! They had so many guys on that stage even Earth, Wind & Fire said it was too crowded."

I would rather have Marion Barber than Tiki Barber at this point.

I think Barber was not used well in Dallas,I think he has more left - he is not going to play in Dallas anymore as far as I know.

I would rather have Floyd the Barber than Tiki Barber.

Okay I just wanted to say that. I'm probably against the Tiki thing and think he is too old. Who knows... His timing also sucks... coming out of retirement right when it looks like there won't be a season.

But mainly I just wanted to do the one liner.

I dont ask for much when it comes to players, but I wish BB would sign Corey Dillon Jr,,,,,if he exists
