It's All Thanks to Tiki!

I made pinstripes what they are today...
and you wouldn't believe what I did for the color orange.


I remember thinking that the best things about New York's Super Bowl run was the fact that Tiki Barber had absolutely nothing to do with the team's ultimate success. Knowing that his team excelled once he fled the Meadowlands for Rockefeller Plaza probably left gregarious insufferably douchey commentator with a touch of melancholy (and hopefully some infinite sadness).

So Tiki, how do you feel now that your team has achieved in your absence what they never could with you present?



"I feel great joy for them because I know in a lot of ways I helped a lot of guys on that team,” Barber said. “I know Brandon was someone who benefited from me being there; even criticizing someone is a way of getting them to think about themselves."


But that's not all!


Thanks to our unprecedented access to the world's foremost taint sniffing omelet flippers we were able to learn a lot more about Tiki's history of boosting greatness...


-I'm not saying I was at Normandy beach, but those guys know I was there in spirit.

-I had lunch with Obama once, and I think that really opened his eyes to what hope and change can achieve.

-Lisa Gherardini was Da Vinci's subject, but I was his muse.

-I taught Alicia Keys everything she knows about proper moisturizing.

-Al Gore invented the internet, but I invented Al Gore.

-Women didn't swoon over Matty Lauer until I took him to a proper tailor.

-You know all of those good plays Ronde made this year? Well that was me.

-I taught Gilbert Arenas the proper shaving technique.

-In the summertime, my vaguely unsettling easygoing personality repels mosquitoes.

-I'm glad Tiger listened when I told him he had a shot to win at Dubai.

-Few people know that the Treaty of Versailles had a ghostwriter.

-I approached Alexander Parkes at his graduation party and uttered one word, "plastics."

-I told that guy that shooting up the Super Bowl would be an error in judgement.

-I showed Saddam where to hide the WMDs.

-Woody was just some Catskills hack until I handed him my philosophy textbook.

-Women wearing ties? Not before I got in Diane Keaton's ear.

-The ratings for the Super Bowl were so good because I personally turned on every TV in America.


-One time I was hangin' with Gandhi and I was like, "dude, you need to lose some weight."

Thanks, Tiki!

So it was YOU that encouraged Kurt to get into grunge? Frankly, I think you should be tried for Involuntary Manslaughter due to his resulting suicide.

George Lucas was going to write a Broadway play, but I steered him towards science fiction.

When Shakespeare first started writing, I pushed him to take an "edgier" approach.

I'll have you know that I was the first person to mention to Christmas Ape that Phillip Rivers is a douche.

I told Axl Rose to take all the time in the worlds he needs to finish Chinese Democracy. I also told him that replacing Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt Sorum instead of making up and playing nice would be better for his creativity.

time for another racism post, simmons just said:


Moss sprinting down the sidelines flanked by two d-backs, and then, Brady launching the ball 70 yards down field as every Giants fan in the building stopped breathing. The pass was right on target and Moss would have caught the football had he jumped for it ... which he didn't. I will always believe that. And by the way, it's taking all the will power in my sick body to refrain from a "If it were Week 6 and we were winning by 28, Moss would have caught the football" joke.


of course welkaaaaah woulda caught it...damn daaaakies

I personally believe that Tiki Barber (and his clone ronde) were single handedly responsible for the Giants winning #42 aka "The Boston Massacre".

I would also like to take this time to point out some little known facts about Tiki.

Tiki Barber came up with the idea to play Russian Roulette with Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun.

Tiki Barber told a young redheaded boy to take karate lesssons to defend himself against bullies. That redhead was Chuck Norris.

Tiki Barber practiced one day in a mini camp with the Miami Dolphins before the 72 season

I was the one that mentioned to Peter King that America might enjoy a piece about Brett Favre.

CoffeeTableBook said...

So it was probably Tom Coughlin that decided it was better to land the battalion landing teams directly in front of the German pillboxes on Omaha. And that the Americans didn't need none of those British Funny tanks. And that it was okay to launch the DD tanks so far out to sea that there was a good chance most of them would sink.

But Tiki probably told the lead coxswain to let the landing craft drift a little at Utah.

Yes, I said coxswain.

And then Tiki suggested the troops take the German emplacements on Omaha from the rear rather than by frontal assault.

Yes, I wrote it - from the rear.
