    SBR NewsWire: Tiki Barber plans to unretire, play again in 2011 NFL season


    NEW YORK -- Tiki Barber has alerted the NFL that he plans to come out of retirement and play in the 2011 season, sources close to the former New York Giants running back said Tuesday.
    The agency that represents Barber confirmed the news on its Twitter account.
    Barber has already filed the appropriate paperwork to the league. The 35-year-old back, who turns 36 in April, retired in 2007. He played 10 seasons, all for the Giants, finishing his career as the franchise's all-time leading rusher.
    After retiring, Barber was hired by NBC to be a correspondent on The Today Show and Football Night In America. He made headlines for being critical of the motivational style of his former coach, Tom Coughlin, and scoffed at former teammate Eli Manning's leadership abilities. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl in the first season after Barber's retirement.
    Barber's personal and professional life have been in shambles recently. In April 2010, Barber reportedly left his wife of 11 years, Ginny, for 23-year-old Traci Johnson, a former NBC intern. Ginny was eight months pregnant at the time. Soon after, NBC cited its morals clause and terminated Barber's contract, which reportedly paid him more than $300,000 per year.
    In June 2010, the New York Post reported Barber was broke and couldn't pay his divorce settlement with his ex-wife.
    Barber's twin brother, Ronde, recently signed a one-year extension with the Buccaneers, where he's been a safety for 14 seasons.

    Wow that would be interesting to see who wants him, I mean a Vet of his caliber would be a good addition to a team that's weak in the running game... Still I think he should stay as a commentator he was doing a pretty decent job at that... Oh well lets see what happens...

    he left on top, but he is 36 now. i suppose we'll see if four years away from the daily grind will give him fresh legs or made him lose a step. can't imagine he'd be an everydown back.

    My guess is there is going to be a strike with replacement players so he did this so he can be a replacement.

    He's probably broke, needs the money. His wife probably took him for all he has after he walked out on her pregnant ass.

    36 year olds don't suit up at RB In the NFL. Tiki needs to get real.

    Didn't root for the guy when he was playing. Then he proved himself as a tool after retirement. Can't say I'm looking forward to the comeback.

    i meant statistically before retiring, obviously after the retirement shit went straight downhill for him.
