Fire Tiki Barber's 'Flabbergasted' Agent

Tiki was not in demand (Daniel Shapiro).

Who wouldn't want a 36-year-old RB who hasn't played since 2006, whose team won a Super Bowl the year after he left and who only wants to play because he's (probably) desperate for money? No one? Well tell that to Tiki Barber's agent, Mark Lepselter.

Lepselter told SI.com: "We are flabbergasted that Tiki has not had an opportunity with any team, especially when rosters were at 90 players this year."

Barber had a tryout with the Dolphins, but it didn't lead anywhere and his phone has yet to ring otherwise.

Tiki may be the Giants' career rushing leader, but when they won the Super Bowl in his absence after the 2007 season, that was pretty damning. Barber's desire is also pretty questionable since he walked away from the game near his prime to pursue broadcasting, and is now suddenly interested in football again because, he said, he's depressed. What he didn't say is that he lost his job with NBC thanks to a morality clause in his contract and his wife divorced him because he cheated on her with a NBC intern. Safe to say that the real reason he wants back in the League is money, not love of the game.

Barber has been gone from the game too long, and RBs take such a beating, it seems impossible that he could come back and be effective at 36. The other thing that worked against Barber this year was the short preparation period after the lockout ended. Many teams stuck with players who already knew their system, which put Barber at a big disadvantage. Lepselter probably did his best to find his client a job, but if he's genuinely surprised nobody wanted Tiki, then he doesn't know football very well.
