Giants turn Super minus Barber's dissonant chorus: me, me, me

Damn, this dude blasts Tiki.

PHOENIX -- A question: How does a team lose a star player -- a borderline Hall of Famer, one of the best talents in the history of the New York Giants -- and get better?

When that player is Me-ki Barber, the answer is easy.

"Tiki was all about Tiki," said a key Giants player, who asked not to be identified, speaking recently about the former Giants runner. "I don't get why people make this so complicated. If he was still on the team, we wouldn't be here (in the Super Bowl). Trust me on that. It would be a different locker room."

By different the player means more splintered, more finger pointing, less unified.

By different, he means worse.

"It's not a coincidence that he's gone and we're here," the player said. "You're a fool if you think it is."

And if you fail to believe that a significant number of Giants veterans aren't privately chuckling at that coincidence and even mocking Barber now, behind his back, you're a fool, too, because they are.

Smile, Tiki, you just got

This is just too funny how everything has panned out, the almighty Tiki Barber is the product of a system and one hell of an O-line... just so glad that Tiki is finally being shown for what he is. Just read in another article too, that he is trying to take credit for Coughlin's success this season

Me-ki is a punk. If it weren't for Coughlin he would have been cut for being a fumbling machine.

He was great on the field but bad news in the locker room. Most Giant fans feel that Tivi picked just the right time to retire. Giant fans never really knew what kind of crap he could stur up but it must have been pretty bad.

Don't forget that the Giants were heavily injured the last 2 seasons (at the end) so even though it's nice to see that Tivi missed the Superbowl, I can't blame all the success on his absence.

Tiki = a more eloquent TO
