Hey, come on hands off man you're wrinkling my suit coat...pussy.
Ok, maybe it really didn't go down like that, but I'm always one to exaggerate. And I'd like to imagine this is how it went down. Regardless, by now the word has leaked that a media spat far greater than Paris vs. Nicole or Paris vs. Lindsay has surfaced, Eli Manning vs. Tiki Barber. It's seems like a breath of fresh air for the NFL, considering all that's going down with Michael Vick these days. They need a story like this to bump "dog fighting" from the front page.
What? You don't think this story has the legs to do just that? Well, consider yourself absolutely correct. Anyhow, in case you hadn't heard, the normally mute Eli Manning is stepping out (and not out of the closet), but rather into the limelight to fire back at former teammate Tiki Barber. Tiki questioned Eli's ability or inability to ever lead a team (and for good measure) last week sometime in front of a total of about 10 people actually watching a halftime report of a fucking pre-season game.
However, this is New York and word travels fast. Eli didn't take so kind to those words and went straight up gangster on Tiki. "I guess I'm just happy for Tiki that he's making a smooth transition into the TV world," Manning said. "You know, I'll be interested to see if he has anything to say (about a team) besides the Giants, and what his comments will be on that." Ok, so maybe not gangster, but still quite a step forward for a man better known as Sheli.
Barber called Manning's offensive skills comical and Eli fired back about Tiki's leadership and essentially quitting on the team. Sounds like a good old case of "my dick is bigger than yours" argument. Although, Michael Strahan was not available to comment or confirm any such details for the media.
Of course, Barber has since tried to back track on his comments on his famed Radio Show, but come on Tiki...just fess up and stop picking on poor Eli. It should only be a matter of time before Archie and the Manning Royal Family steps in to interject their thoughts...if they haven't already done so. The Giants may have thought controversy and animosity were in the rearview mirror. However, this just reaffirms that if a retired running back and a lousy quarterback squabbling can make the news, the Giants will always remain prevalent.
Should be quite the season in New York and we're all looking forward to it. Giants fans need not worry as this story should soon filter to the bottom of the news barrel just after Jeremy Shockey pops up in a porn on Skinemax or Plaxico Burress gets busted with an ounce of brick weed. For now, cheers...that this is the only thing ailing your team. And let the feud live on for a few days...to at least let Eli show he has balls.
