Tiki Barber Making A Comeback

"Barber's manager, Mark Lepselter, has informed the New York Post that his client's decision to attempt an NFL comeback was based upon "some overtures made to him recently." Lepselter would not divulge any more information on these "overtures (ESPN)."

Wow, I would've never have guessed this comeback, but apparently he has already filled out the paper work, and once there is a new CBA he will hit free agency. Tiki will be 36 in April, and I really doubt he has much left in the tank. I mean this guy hasn't play since 2006, so I really think this is asking a lot. Then again his last season he rushed for 1,662, and obviously will come in 100% healthy.

My guess is that a team brings him to camp, but then he gets cut, and either goes back to the booth or the UFL. That hasn't stopped Antonio Pierce from ripping him as a "leader"...

"Tiki Barber, the football player, great player, will be very productive probably in certain situations, third-down, maybe can help out a young quarterback, some young running backs, depending on who it is," Pierce said on ESPN's "NFL Live" per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com. "Tiki Barber, the leader, the person in that locker room? He is not going to do anything for your team. Now if that is the guy you think you are bringing in, you might want to look in another direction (ESPN)."

So, I guess his comeback won't be with the Gaints.

Giants Cut Antonio Pierce

Reports are coming out that the Giants have cut veteran middle linebacker Antonio Pierce. The Giants are in need of a shakeup, so this shouldn't be too surprising, and I don't expect this to be the last one either.

Could he be a fit for the Patriots?

I think he could be. The Patriots have lost a lot of veteran talent when Bruschi, Harrison retired, and Seymour/Vrabel were traded. Pierce could be a nice person to turn to and help Mayo in the middle of that 3-4 defense. Pierce isn't overly athletic, but he can be a tackling machine, which is something the Patriots have been missing. If the Patriots could sign him to a short term deal I think it might be worth it.

Burress Indicted On Weapons Charges

"Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges after shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club last winter, prosecutors announced Monday. The indictment charged the 31-year-old Burress with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said. Burress' former teammate, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, was not indicted for his role in the incident. "A grand jury applied the law to the facts of this case," Morgenthau said. No one else is likely to face charges in the case, Morgenthau said (Sportsline)."

I think we all knew that Plaxico was going to get indicted for this, but the real news is that Antonio Pierce can move on from all this. That is big news for the Giants, who had enough distractions last year with this whole mess, and really don't need to start the new year with the same problems...
