Eli Manning vs Tiki Barber
Tiki Barber talking about Eli’s leadership skills said on NBC during the halftime of the Giants vs. Ravens:
“He hasn’t shown it. His personality hasn’t been so that he can step up, make a strong statement and have people believe that it’s coming from his heart… Last year about Week 12 I turned over the offensive motivational speech to Eli and he was gung-ho to do it, but he was uncomfortable doing it. I think a lot of it had to do with vets being around — myself, Jeremy Shockey, Plaxico Burress. He didn’t feel like his voice was going to be strong enough and it showed. Sometimes it was almost comical the way that he would say things.”
Eli’s Response:
“I don’t always believe everything Tiki says. I feel very comfortable. And I saw the [halftime show] last night and it seemed very rehearsed, kind of like his pregame speeches in a way,” Manning said. “I feel confident in what I’m doing in getting the team ready. And if you ask any of the players around here who the leader is of this offense, they’re going to say me.”
I think Tiki needs to shut his fat lips. Eli Manning is a winner, he is a Manning isnt he? Tiki bailed on his team so he could sit in a booth. Cmon
