Just got a press release from NBC advancing Sunday's Giants-Eagles game, and in it, former Giants RB Tiki Barber says absolutely nothing that's newsworthy. Which, of course, is newsworthy, considering the potshots Barber has taken in recent weeks/months at Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning.
Tiki isn't even quoted about Coughlin, and he has this to say about Eli and Derrick Ward, who has been a pleasant surprise in Barber's absence.
Tiki on Ward: "I'm not surprised at all. This guy has ability and surprising speed. The Giants stole him off the Jets practice squad and that's the right word for it -- it was a steal."
Tiki on Eli: "Eli's been phenomenal through the first three games. He's definitely been one of the Giants bright spots."
Man, when is this guy gonna say something worth reading? :-)

Dude,
I talked to Tiki the other day. Planning to write him for Friday!

Sorry, dude.
Hopefully you'll get him to say something. Pretty boring when he says nothing.
Neil, did you get him to comment on Strahan's divorce? Confirm the rumored videotapes? That's the only Giant insight I want from Tiki. Let the divas resume their duel, and the players play.
Maybe someone should ask Tiki if he still considers Plaxico a slacker this week when Plax is lobbying to play on a bum ankle?
