Tiki's act is getting old fast. He doesn't need to bring this kind of attention to himself, he did that already when he and his agent "leaked" that he was retiring during last season. For some reason he thinks people are falling all over themselves to hear or read what he has to say but I just don't see it. And if he's going to do a "tell all" book, players and coaches certainly won't trust him to keep his sources confidential as a journalist. As a life-long Giants fan, I'm disappointed in him. I thought Tiki had more class than to make fun of Eli behind his back. Maybe he should have been more of a leader as a player and try to help the young QB grow into that leadership roll rather than be so self-centered. Not to mention so weak that he would blame the coach for his decision to retire because he was too tough. Maybe that's what he needed all along because his play certainly improved after Coughlin arrived. Not exactly a way to get your jersey retired, eh? Tiki’s act is getting old fast.

The sports media needs intelligent, articulate announcers, and Tiki seems to have all the tools. Yeah, you’d think at this point he’d just put his head down and do his job.
