His situation is SAD ...not kidding

He was a stud in the NFL and a decent announcer, but due to his HATE for Tom Coughlin...he said the Giants wouldn't win over and over again...so much that his team turned on him.

I fully expected him to be in their ring of honor before the problems.

He was a good guy by NFL standards as a player

Now with his off the field stuff he's broke, a media no-no, a laughing stock by the players and now a comeback.

I feel bad for the guy...hope others use him as a lesson.

Can he still be a decent RB....sure as a 3rd down change of pace guy...yes.

Throw in his love life and the dude simply made a mess of things.

I am not as assured as you are that he will be decent. It's possible but he has a lot going against him.

He's worth a look, if for no other reason than to teach Wells and Hightower how to hold onto the damn ball. High and tight, baby.

Antoinio Pierce was ripping him hard on NFL Live yesterday stating that Tiki was a very good player but a horrible teammate who was a lockerroom cancer and a me first person who lacked the leadership and the desire to help mentor other players.

Ofcourse Pierce is pissed at him for excoriating the team in the media directly following his retirement...
