Agent 'flabbergasted' Tiki Barber passed over by NFL - ESPN New York

SERIOUSLY!!! Oh player, please. All I can say Tiki, is hold on to friends like this. Or agents like this. And continue to live in a house with no mirrors.

Agent 'flabbergasted' Tiki Barber passed over by NFL - ESPN New York:

"We are flabbergasted that Tiki has not had an opportunity with any team, especially when rosters were at 90 players this year," agent Mark Lepselter told SI.com. "I certainly thought some team would be intrigued to see what he had left in the tank."

Because if this statement is honest, it is over-the-top clue-lessness.

Let's review.

But first, let's note that when he was with the Giants, I was a Grade A, top of the line Tiki Barber fan.

When Tiki left the team, apparently the number of team mates who volunteered to help Mr. Barber clean out his locker was well above the league average. For someone who was so productive on the field and apparently well-liked off the field, this was a surprise. Should have been clue #1.

Then, the whole leaving your first wife for the eye-candy, mistress thing?
......Well, who hasn't at least...?
......While the wife was still pregnant??

C'mon Man!!! 

That's the height of douche-baggery. Even for a high-profile athlete.

Then you lose your network commentator gig when apparently the only two qualifications are

- to look good on camera

CHECK

and

- not dip your quill in the company ink ...

Aw, snap Tiki!!! You're gone.

Hope she was worth it, man. And far be it from me to tell folks how to handle their personal lives, but just so you and special agent Lepselter understand:

- your ex-teammates apparently don't speak very highly of you. In droves!!! 

OK, could happen now and then.

- your ex-wife doesn't speak very highly of you. Well......OK

- your ex-employer -- heck maybe your last two employers....don't speak very highly of you.

And you guys are surprised you didn't get a return gig in an industry that at least sometimes evaluates players on their character?

I'm not the brightest guy in the world, but I'm picking up on a pattern here.

Let me give you guys some advice for the future....Buy a dog....name him Clue....then you'll have one.

Sheeeshhhh......You can't make some of this stuff up.......
