Ah, Billy,
there is a difference between Paul O'Niel and Tiki Barber.
Paul didnt parade aroiund his last season trying to lobby for a job on the YES network, the way Tiki paraded around trying to be a Good Morning Amrica host. God bless them both and Tiki too, for doing and getting what thye got after their playing careers, but Tiki, has to know he will and would be critisized for being a sel;fish, me me me me guy, to be heard after all the games... and he obviously was a divider between the Giants TEAM and coach coughlin. Thta si pretty obvious. hem hem hem SuperBowl!
Paul, in all farness, didnt even put up the numbers careerwise that Tiki did, in their respectable sports. Tiki blows Paul away as far as All-Tme status goes. Tiki is the best RB the Giants ever had... Paul O'Niell is like the Yankees 10th best outfielder.
Paul will be loved bc he ran down Luis Polonia's double in 1996 Atlanta on an bad hamstring, in the world series... and Tiki will be remembered for running for 10,000 yards and..... his big fat mouth.
thats the difference.
Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada told/asked/suggested Hawkins "not to wear #21 any more'- true story according to YES network... I dont think Eli Manning or Michael Strahan will be having ANY TALK with Kenny Phillips about his #21, and giving it up.
besides, its for recogniition of sean taylor .. anyway, like most of the former U Miami players are doing.
peace
