Former Giants running back Tiki Barber , now an NBC commentator, spent much of September, October, November and December bashing his former Giants teammates and coaches. But in January opinions about these Giants shifted, and now that it's February and the Giants have won the Super Bowl, Barber is having to fend off questions of whether they're a better team without him.

Tiki Makes People Better
Complain In Vain —
We came across this article earlier today , which contained an awesome quote from former New York Giant Tiki Barber. Of course, Barber is now famous for (a) criticizing and making fun of Eli Manning earlier this season, and (b) retiring the year before the Giants won the big one. Anyway, here’s the quote from Tiki that got our attention:“I feel great joy for them because I know in a lot of ways I helped a lot of guys on that team,” Barber said. “I know Brandon [Jacobs] was someone who benefited from me being there; even criticizing someone is a way of getting them to think ...

AS EXPECTED, BARBER CLAIMS CREDIT FOR GIANTS WIN
beta.profootballtalk.com 2/8/2008 — We recently observed — half-jokingly — that former Giants running back Tiki Barber would find a way to claim credit for his old team’s victory in Super Bowl XLII.
And our sort-of joke ended up being sort of right.
Though the article ...
Eli Manning's Super Bowl XLII co-MVP: Tiki Barber
sports.yahoo.com 2/8/2008 — That's
how Tiki Barber sees things, anyway. I was wondering when Tiki would get around
to taking credit for the Giants Super Bowl win.

Retiring star players often set the ...
There are No I’s in Team, but there are Two in Tiki
thebiglead.com 2/8/2008 — While watching the Super Bowl XLII post-game celebration, I jokingly said to one of my JoeSportsFan colleagues that I couldn’t wait to see Tiki Barber take credit for Eli Manning’s playoff run and the Giants’ improbable championship ...
Barber still blabbing about the Giants
bigblueview.com 2/9/2008 — Why can't Tiki Barber just go away once and for all and leave the Giants alone?
It seems that Blabber, with a huge assist from William C. Rhoden of the New York Times, is claiming some credit for helping the Giants win Super Bowl XLII.
"I feel great joy for them because I know in a lot of ways I helped a lot of guys on that team," Blabber told Rhoden.
Tiki Barber Finally Says What We All Know He Was Thinking —
AwfulAnnouncing
Tiki Barber was oddly quiet the past week. He had that awkward interview with Eli Manning in the tunnel following the game and then nothing. Well now he's coming out and saying that he's happy for them and that he knows he "helped a lot of guys on that team". Seriously.... “I feel great joy for them because I know in a lot of ways I helped a lot of guys on that team,” Barber said. “I know ...
Shockey and the G-Men need to part ways —
Bleacher Report
After going down with a broken leg in week 15 against the Washington Redskins, Shockey has been on IR and the Giants have been playing their best football in years. With his absense, Eli Manning has been able to control his huddle. Manning in normally a very shy, quiet kid. Shockey is very loud and outspoken. It is not good when your tight end taking the attention away from the only person ...

Giants Championship Parade —
New York Giants
What is up everyone? Hope you are all still enjoying basking in the glory of this championship as much as I am. I work right on Broadway downtown, and just got back to the office from the parade, and it was a GREAT time. I just wanted to fire off a quick, informal post about it:
I started looking out of my office window around 10am and there were people from many of the office buildings ...
All Hail Tiki Barber, Maker Of Omelets [Tiki Barber] —
Deadspin
At this point, it's pretty much clear: The New England Patriots might have lost, but the person who comes across the worst in the wake of the upset is clearly Tiki Barber. Couldn't happen to a better guy.
Like a lot of people, we respected Barber's decision to retire, and even bought Rick Reilly's famous "he's just trying to save himself the wear-and-tear of life in the NFL" column ...
