Speaking of NBC (see past two posts), I spoke to Tiki Barber Tuesday about his recent chat with Eli Manning and his next on-site gig - covering the Giants for a fourth consecutive week when they host the Panthers Sunday.

Barber said for this week he is trying to land a sitdown with another big-name Giant with whom he has had issues in the past: Tom Coughlin, about whom Manning had interesting comments last week.

Barber did not sound optimistic, nor should he be. The interview has as much chance of happening as Ed Werder has of co-authoring a tell-all book with T.O.
