Karma signs Tiki Barber

Former nfl running back Tiki Barber wants another shot in the nfl. Barber's agent expressed his confusion on why no one invited his client to training camp. Really? I can think of several off the top of my head but lets just say that karma is a you know what.

The last time we saw Barber in an nfl uniform he was announcing his retirement...and it was the middle of the season! Talk about a distraction. Barber talked openly (after losses) about his plans to go into broadcasting after the season. On the way out of the door he threw the quarterback and head coach under the bus. The Giants won the super bowl the next year by the way.

Now let's not forget his attempts at broadcasting failed miserably, and Barber seems to land himself in one public relations nightmare after another. Who wants a 36 year old running back with all that baggage? Let's say your ex left you then hit rock bottom. Only after hitting rock bottom they ask you to come back... would you honestly be interested? Hell no! Hey Tiki, your age and time out of the league was probably the biggest factor....but the way you treated people and burned bridges got you no favors. It's not always what you do, it's how you do it. We all had to learn that lesson at some point in our lives. Hopefully Tiki Barber learns from this.
