Barber takes a Tiki-torch to His Marriage

We never liked him. We never liked him when he was flashing his toothy smile, his arrogant persona, and of course when he was hurting the Philadelphia Eagles' defense. And now The D-train has even more disdain for former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber.

According to a report released Monday by The New York Post, Barber is leaving his attractive-ish wife, Ginny, of 11 years for former NBC intern Tracy Lynn Johnson. We should not trifle with the fact that Barber's wife is eight months pregnant or that Johnson is 23 (11 when Barber began his annoying NFL career).

An intern?! As people say in a text conversation, "WTF?!"

Let's make this clear, a person of Barber's "stature" that scoops up an intern obviously has no game. And we mean "game" in the sense that former pimp Fillmore Slim would mean it. Barber apparently lacks an "in" with the ladies aside from who he is hence, he picks up an intern at work. An intern?!

So not only is Sneaky Tiki a heel just because is a heel, but because he is worse than the person that he claims to despise... his father. In a 2004, Barber had this to say regarding his father:

"Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a lot of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that."

Sounds like someone is throwing stones from inside a glass house. And we thought that Barber had no onions in his grocery sack.

The Today Show correspondent released this damage-control statement in response to the news of his ending marriage, if not to the news of his extra-marital affair:

"After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate. This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known."

Nice half-hearted try sir, but everyone sees through you and that fake-ass smile now. When Barber says that the decision was "painful" he likely wanted to add that having a hot young piece around like Ms. Johnson will help ease that pain.

"...moving forward amicably" indeed. Ronde is now the good son.
