Will the Saints look at Tiki Barber?
 
Rotoworld

Newsday's Bob Glauber reports the Giants will set Tiki Barber free once he's reinstated by the NFL.

As expected. Tiki heavily criticized coach Tom Coughlin in his first season as an NBC analyst while also accusing the coach of "robbing" him of "the joy" of football in his 2007 book. ESPN's Adam Schefter speculates that John Fox's Broncos, Sean Payton's Saints, and Raheem Morris' Bucs could take a long look at Barber. Fox and Payton were on the Giants staff early in Barber's career. Tiki's twin brother is a virtual player-coach in Tampa

Personally, I don't see us doing this, but what do you guys think?

Please god no.

I would say no mostly because he's coming out of retirement because he decided to start working out again. I wouldn't have much faith in his durability. It might be a waste of a roster spot.

jnormand 03-08-2011 04:18 PM

No thanks. He's a baby. Cue pics of babies crying please.

jcp026 03-08-2011 04:53 PM

No.

Danno 03-08-2011 05:28 PM

Sure could have used him about 2 months ago.

But no, a 35 year old running back who hasn't played in 4 years? I'd sonner go after Rickey Williams or Willis McGahee than Barber.

SAINT_MICHAEL 03-08-2011 06:24 PM

Can I get a heck no ?!!

TheDeuce 03-08-2011 06:26 PM

This is ESPN bull crap at its finest... Adam Schefter hears Tiki is coming back, he looks at 1) is one of his past coaches still coaching? 2) does he have a brother still playing? 3) is there a team where they say any RB could come in and play? The answer to all three questions are yes (Payton, Ronde is still going in TB, and Denver has the rep of getting production out of any RB true or not), so he says that they are possibilities.

I can't imagine any team wanting to pick him up. Not only is he waaaay over the average age of an NFL back, he hasn't played in several years! Absolutely not... we can do better with an UDFA with more upside, I got my share of old crap backs last season.

Speedy Ron 03-08-2011 06:43 PM

if they do i will throw up

GeauxForMore 03-08-2011 06:44 PM

What's worst then **** NO!!!!!!!!!!

Beastmode 03-08-2011 06:53 PM

Taking up a roster spot at his age, I can't see any team considering it as as a viable option, even as a camp body. If he was an upstanding person, maybe, he could add needed leadership but he is the farthest thing from it.

WhoDat!656 03-08-2011 07:22 PM

Hell to the No!!

saintsfan1976 03-08-2011 08:27 PM

jeanpierre 03-08-2011 10:16 PM

Is it April 1 already?

Beastmode 03-08-2011 10:28 PM

I know he won't be playing but what I want to know is who would name their child after a cheap backyard lamp?

OldMaid 03-08-2011 10:59 PM

No.
No, the NO Saints will not look at him nor will any NFLteam.
Seems like Tiki is in fantasy land, needs some money, and thinks football is his way. Hmmm, I wonder why. LOL!!
No. No tv pre-game sports tv show will pick him and he is out as for be a gameday host.
He had it all and through it all away.

dizzle88 03-09-2011 06:41 AM

I seriously thought this was a joke when i saw the headline lol

RaginCajun83 03-09-2011 09:44 AM

What a joke, so what if Sean coached him in NY keep him away from this team

foreverfan 03-09-2011 12:44 PM

Euphoria 03-10-2011 12:05 PM

SapperSaint 03-10-2011 12:37 PM

mikesaintfan 03-11-2011 07:07 AM

id take him over julius fumbles jones

Luda34 03-11-2011 07:14 AM

Man leave his a$$ where he's at I don't want to see Tiki anywhere near our team with his broke a$$ that the only reason his trying to come back he's broke and he needs money.

MatthewT 03-12-2011 01:07 AM

I say give him a shot in training camp/preseason and see if he has anything left. If he still has it then great. If not then nothing lost. Of course I am more in favor of bringing in younger backs, but you never know. His four years away from the game is a big negative and he is now 35. I do think he is a genuine a-hole, but the Saints have plenty enough leadership to keep him in his place... Still, this would be a major long shot as there are better options available.

You've got to be kidding me, huh?

In British English, if someone says "don't pull my leg" they want you to stop playing a joke on them; to stop telling fibs and to tell the truth. There is a sense of good humour about the whole concept, but it may not have always been so. The origin is found in a Scottish rhyme in which "draw" is used in the sense of "pull" rather than the word itself.

It goes:
He preached, and at last drew the auld body's leg,
Sae the Kirk got the gatherins o' our Aunty Meg.

The suggestion in the rhyme is that Aunty Meg was hung for a crime and, at the end, the preacher pulled on her legs to ensure that she was dead. The rather more sombre overtones of this possibility than are apparent in the British use of the phrase are mirrored in the American usage, where there is much more a feeling of trickery and deception when the saying is used.

I'm sure they'll look at him if he's asking questions during an interview.
