      Tiki Barber dumps pregnant wife for 23-year-old former NBC intern

      April 8, 2010 /

      If Tiger Woods wanted to write a book about how guys aren’t supposed to treat their wives, he has a co-author in Tiki Barber.

      The New York Post reported yesterday that Barber dumped his 8-months-pregnant wife for a hot 23-year-old woman named Traci Lynn Johnson, who is a former intern for NBC. Barber’s wife Ginny, who is a full-time mom to the couple’s two sons, is currently pregnant with twins.

      If that doesn’t make Barber a finalist in biggest douche of the year, then maybe these details from the Post about his affair will:

      “On her 21st birthday, he sent her 21 dozen roses to her dorm. He also gave her a diamond and sapphire bracelet,” the source said. “At this point, she had a boyfriend, and told him that she and Tiki were ‘just friends,’ but nobody bought it.

      “He gave her and her friends [Giants] jerseys for them to dress up in on Halloween . . . He would shower her with designer handbags and expensive clothes.”
      The source said “he came to the school, and she introduced him to her friends.

      “At first, we thought he was a nice, sweet guy. Really warm and friendly.

      “But once we realized what was going on, we were disgusted. We never expected him to be so disrespectful to his wife.

      “One night, he sneaked into her dorm and stayed over the night,” the source said. “The next day, Traci didn’t want to let him out of her room to use the bathroom because she was worried someone would see him and catch them.

      Granted, the article uses anonymous sources and did cite someone close to Barber that denied these claims. But if Barber is classy enough to leave his pregnant wife for a 23-year-old woman, then none of the above claims seem far-fetched. Plus, why would an anonymous source make up a story about Barber spending the night at Johnson’s dorm? What’s in it for them?

      People break up – it happens. But this situation seems ultra-shady and Barber looks like a hypocrite given how critical he has been in the past of his own father for abandoning him, his twin brother Ronde and his mother when he was younger.

      Joe Theismann rips JaMarcus Russell

      April 7, 2010 /

      While appearing on Sirius NFL Radio Show Moving the Chains on Wednesday, former Redskins’ great Joe Theismann took the opportunity to make JaMarcus Russell feel lower than rat excrement.

      This is what Joe had to say (via Adam Schefter’s Twitter Page):

      “I can tell you conclusively that JaMarcus Russell never will be able to play QB in the National Football League.”

      More Theismann on JaMarcus Russell: “He just doesn’t get it.” Theismann advocates the Raiders trading for Jason Campbell, who does get it.

      I couldn’t agree more with what he said, although where was this opinionated version of Joe Theismann when he was a broadcaster? This is the same guy that would make obvious statements about players and teams and would rarely (if ever) bring anything to the table in terms of an originial thought. Now all of a sudden he’s Curt Schilling.

      Personally, I think the Raiders should stay away from Campbell and take Jimmy Clausen with the eighth overall pick. They need a young, confident quarterback that loves the game and will take charge of a situation. Not that Campbell doesn’t love the game, but he would be better for a team that was already established outside of the quarterback position (a team like the Vikings – minus Brett Favre, of course). Oakland needs to rid itself of the Russell fiasco and start fresh.

      Police send findings in Big Ben case to DA

      April 7, 2010 /

      The police have concluded their investigation into the allegations that Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman and have forwarded their findings to the local district attorney.

      From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

      Milledgeville Police Chief Woodrow W. Blue Jr. today released a statement saying the findings had been sent Tuesday evening to Frederic D. Bright, Ocmulgee Judical Court district attorney.

      Mr. Bright will review the findings, consider whether additional investigation and interviews are necessary, and decide whether criminal charges should be filed.

      If so, Mr. Bright would take the findings before a grand jury, meaning it could be months before charges, if any, are brought against the Steelers quarterback.

      If I had to venture a guess as to what will happen next, I imagine that Big Ben will escape any serious trouble. It seems like there’s a lot of he said, she said involved in this case and it’ll be hard for the DA (or a judge, or a jury) to convict Roethlisberger of anything.

      That said, Big Ben’s punishment will come via public embarrassment. This is the second time in the past two years that he has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman and even if he’s not convicted of anything, the Steelers are already leery about the decisions that their franchise quarterback is making off the field. The team is likely having trust issues right now with Roethlisberger and he’s going to have to deal with that whether he’s convicted or not.

      Big Ben may dodge a bullet in court, but he’ll have a lot of work to do repairing his imagine in Pittsburgh.

      Redskins not trying to dump Haynesworth?

      April 7, 2010 /

      ESPN’s Adam Schefter disputes NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora’s report that the Redskins are actively shopping defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. Per Schefter, Washington hasn’t had any trade discussions regarding Haynesworth since March 31.

      Schefter is on top of his game at all times, so I tend to believe him over anyone else when it comes to NFL speculation. But La Canfora was a former beat writer for the Redskins and NFL.com doesn’t usually posts rumors unless they have some validity to them, so whom do we believe?

      La Canfora recently reported that Haynesworth made a bad impression on new head coach Mike Shanahan, which is why the team is willing to part with the $100 million man. La Canfora’s report holds water seeing as how the Redskins tried to dump Haynesworth in the trade for Donavon McNabb.

      Of course, Schefter didn’t say that Washington won’t trade Haynesworth at some point this offseason, he just said that they’re not actively shopping him right now. We’ll see how this story develops leading up to the April 22 draft.

      Will the Bills take Clausen at No. 9?

      April 7, 2010 /

      As I’ve discussed throughout the past couple of days, the Donovan McNabb trade is likely to cause a ripple effect in this month’s draft. While head coach Mike Shanahan said recently that the Redskins could still take a quarterback with the fourth overall pick, it’s hard to imagine that they’d select a signal caller that high when they have so many other pressing needs.

      The Bills, however, are another story. They’ve seemingly given up on Trent Edwards and while Ryan Fitzpatrick is a fine backup, he’s not the solution either. That makes them an interesting possibility for Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen if he falls to them at No. 9.

      But will he fall? Assuming the Rams take Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford at No. 1, the Seahawks, Browns and Raiders – three teams that could be interested in quarterback – all pick before the Bills. Seattle traded for Charlie Whitehurst a couple of weeks ago and the Browns added Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace early this offseason, so both of those teams could be out of the running. (In fact, the Seahawks most definitely are – Whitehurst is their future.) But Oakland was presumably in the mix for McNabb, so they could snag the Notre Dame product at No. 8, one spot ahead of Buffalo.

      Of course, even if Clausen is available, the Bills still may take a pass. They have a glaring need for a left tackle and if they pass on someone like Anthony Davis or Bryan Bulaga at No. 9, they run the risk that a starting-caliber LT won’t be available when they pick again at No. 41. That said, if they believe that Clausen is a franchise quarterback, then they can’t pass on him. Having a good left tackle is vital, but quarterback trumps all other positions.
