Quick talk on two players opening their mouths over the weekend.....
Tiki Barber opened his mouth yet again but this time threw his own brother under the bus. Since Tiki left the Giants high and dry three years ago, he says the only reason his brother has kept playing longer than him is due to Ronde's "lack of work" on every down. He thinks he worked every down and that Ronde being a CB doesn't have too. Last I checked, his brother was an integral part of the Bucs defense. Blitzing, zone, and man coverage. He is also an every down CB in all packages. Tiki has done nothing but criticize since becoming a broadcaster and he has shown his insecurity after making this comment. No wonder most the Giants team has issue with him in his final few years. Really, how many running backs do you hear call out the corner position as to why they are no longer playing? Classy.
Brandon Marshall says the reason he wants out of Denver is because the death of Darrent Williams still haunts him. I guess since the selfishness, acting hurt, and calling out the coaches route didn't work he has decided to go psychological. Here's a thought, MAYBE the city didn't kill Darrent Williams. MAYBE the football team had nothing to do with it. MAYBE it is just an easy scapegoat for you to use, no matter how to true it is. Does he think crime doesn't exist in any other city? Think there are not senseless acts of crime anywhere else? Is moving going to erase your memory and your inner demons? Allegedly, Marshall had an altercation with the man who killed Williams earlier that evening. Maybe, taking stock of your own actions and learning from your mistakes can lead to a better quality of life. After looking at all the possible reasons a person would want to leave a team, this while understandable is a new one. I have never heard Portis or other players whom live in Miami move out of state after the Sean Taylor murder. The guy may just need help and it is understandable that he could relate the town to a tragic event. However, using this now as a new reason seems a little odd and makes it hard for empathy when he's tried other outs and acts the way he does at times.
