Tiki Barber continues to make great decisions

Tiki Barber with his wife, Ginny, and new girlfriend, Traci Johnson

Former New York Giant RB Tiki Barber has left his wife - who is 8 months pregnant … with twins – for a 23-year-old former NBC intern named Traci Lynn Johnson.  Barber already has 2 sons (A.J., 7, and Chason, 6) with his wife Ginny, but moved out of their Manhattan home late last year to pursue his new flame.

According to various reports, Barber and Johnson have been sleeping together since at least 2008, and have increasingly been seen together in public in recent weeks/months.  On Wednesday the Giants’ all-time leading rusher released this sterile statement:

“After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate,” Barber said. “This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known.”

Uh-huh.

Let’s face it, Barber has made a string of questionable decisions in the past few years.  He retired from the NFL at the top of his game in 2006, just before the Giants went on to win SB XLII.  Even worse, he did did so to become a correspondent for the Today Show, which has been a train wreck on just about every level.  And in an effort to gain points as an analyst, Barber threw his former teammates and coaches under the bus, which has alienated him from even his biggest supporters within the Giants organization.

Week 1 NFL Live Blog: Late Games

A classic NFC East rivalry reunites at the Meadowlands

A classic NFC East rivalry resumes this afternoon at the Meadowlands

The early round of games are just finishing up, where we saw Adrian Peterson run wild for 180 yards and 3 TDs, Drew Brees throw for 6 TDs, Donovan McNabb leaving the game with broken ribs, and an absolutely CRAZY finish in Cincinatti, with the Broncos beating the Bengals on a last second 87-yd tipped-ball TD by Brandon Stokley.

There are only 3 late games this afternoon, with the Giants/Redskins the clear marquee match-up.  Let’s face it, the 2 lame NFC West showdowns – Cardinals/49ers and Seahawks/Rams - are background noise to this old-school rivalry.  Everyone wonders if the Giants can replace Plaxico Burress, and the Redskins hope Albert Haynesworth can help them slow down the NY running game.

We’ll continue to follow the action, and post our wildly insightful/humorous thoughts in the comments.

Mixed Martial Arts is the new Jazzercise

FoxSports.com has a nice feature on Matt Leinart‘s off-season training regimen – and specifically, his recent Mixed Martial Arts training. Apparently Leinart is not interested in joining the UFC (like every other washed-up NFLer is doing these days), but rather he’s doing it to strengthen his mind and body, to give himself an edge in the NFL.  Looks like he’s working hard … who knows, maybe he’ll even be able to beat out 38-year-old Kurt Warner someday.

The biggest revelation for me from this piece is that Jay Glazer is an MMA trainer, who also works with Jared Allen and other NFL players!  That just blew me away.  I thought he was just another out-of-shape shmuck reporter, but it turns out that not only does he train, but he regularly announces MMA matches, and has even fought himself!  Wow.  I’m genuinely impressed.

You think NFL Athletes are going to John Clayton and asking him for tips  to increase their flexibility and quickness?  Not likely, huh?

  • Ex Giant Tiki Barber is a forgotten man at NBC [NY Daily News].  As a Giants fan, I can’t tell you how warm and fuzzy this story makes me feel
  • Rodney Harrison just retired, and is already trying to make his mark as a broadcaster.  Apparently Rodney thinks the game is turning into a “pansy sport” [Peter King's MMQB]:

“This is football in the National Football League. I hit a guy with my forearm in his throat or his chest area, and they’re trying to fine me. It’s football! [...] Football now is turning into a soft, pansy sport. This is not volleyball! This is not tennis! This is some of the biggest, fastest, strongest men in the world. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
