08:00 AM ET 06.08 | NBC Sports boss Dick Ebersol announced he was adding the gentlemanly Tony Dungy, along with cheap shot artist Rodney Harrison, to "Football Night I America's" studio cast. What Ebersol meant to say is that Tiki ain't going to get much face time on Sunday night. And, though we can't break it down to minutes and seconds, Barber, who once aspired to rise to a Matt Lauer level, is not exactly a major presence on the "Today" show either. There's no way around it, Barber's stock has plummeted. He's the TV equivalent of General Motors, but there ain't no bailout coming his way. Maybe Barber can turn things around, maybe he gets in a groove this season. After all, when he retired from the Giants he had so much potential. Barber was an excellent communicator who spoke his mind. Still, in his two years at NBC he has not been able to live up to the hype.

If he would have played one more year, he'd have a Super Bowl ring. HAHAHAHAHA.
Great timing Tiki!

His stock plummeted when he left the Giants in a huff, mocked them while he was on TV, and then had to stand back and watch while they won a Super Bowl without him.

Good points all.
The difference between Tiki and Michael Strahan - dentition aside - is that Michael sits next to that braying ass Terry Bradshaw and by contrast looks like Walter Cronkite.

Boy, the New York papers are really whiney when it comes to talking about anyone from the Patriots. Geez, Belichick didn't want to coach your lousy Jets so many years ago, get over it.

Ummm..... My guess would be because he's an arrogant, pompous ass....
But that's just me.

I don't get it. I like Tiki- if you plant them about 6 feet apart and fill them with a little aromatic citronella oil you can have a party in your yard without those pesky misquitoes.

Remember Chico - we're Skins fans. Our bar is set pretty low at this point, thanks to Dannyboy.

Strahan also has a much better personality, he has fun and is not affraid to laugh at himself. Tiki comes off as uptight and smug.

Seeing this guy fail is like a dream, and i'm not even remotely a G-man fan. He's just a loser.

Now there is HYPE over who can be on TV talking about Football. It almost makes me sick, these people who get paid to give there opinion on sports based on statistics that they have time to read all day. Meanwhile, most of us people who have real jobs are barely scraping by and we just want to watch a game and relax without hearing your damn opinion.

I enjoyed Tiki on the show. I loved how he had to swallow his pride and had to admit he was wrong when the Giants won the SB with Manning at QB. I remember how full of himself he was at the beginning of that season and how meek he was at the end of it
Tiki needs to go away now, beause his act is old

Is this article really from a newspaper? I know the newspaper industry is in a serious slump in this country, but is it so bad that they're now allowing journalists to use the word "aint" liberally in articles?

Calling your colleagues on air, the c word that rhymes with punt, hurts your career. Who knew? I would rather have Dick Clark if I were NBC than Tiki Barber.
