Right before the NFL Lockout lifted, it seemed like the most exciting thing about the shortened and hyper-intensive free agency would be the rush to sign the quality running backs, which were basically DeAngelo Williams and Ahmad Bradshaw. Unfortunately, once the Carolina Panthers re-signed Williams, the demand for RBs became flaccid and Bradshaw was pretty much screwed. That’s mainly because everyone thought the Miami Dolphins would be hellbent on finding a talented scatback to pair with rookie Daniel Thomas. Everyone was kind of wrong.

The Dolphins, of course, ended up trading a 6th round pick to the New Orleans Saints for Reggie Bush, while Bradshaw tucked his tail and returned to the New York Giants for less than what he expected to earn in the so-called frenzy. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos decided to keep faith in Knowshon Moreno, the Washington Redskins traded for Tim Hightower, the Cincinnati Bengals got Cedric Benson back at a criminal’s discount, and most of the other teams just filled their backup spots with Darren Sproles (NO), Jerious Norwood (STL), Cadillac Williams (STL) and Ronnie Brown (PHI).

But the Dolphins, despite passing on Bradshaw, still want one more RB. One more terrible, washed up, philandering, desperate RB.

When you leave your pregnant wife (with twins!) of 11 years for a 23-year-old intern, you should fully expect an attempt by your scorned spouse to drain you for all you’re worth, right? Not if you’re Tiki Barber, who once wrote in his memoirs, “I want to be an honorable man, because that’s what I want [my kids] to be. My family is everything to me.” Maybe he can write his next memoir about how it feels to be an idiotically delusional hypocrite.

The Barbers, who’ve been together ever since they met while attending the University of Virginia 16 years ago, are trying to split up their estate. Barber decided that it was okay for him to become the person he hates most in the world–by following in his deadbeat father’s footsteps by ditching his unborn children. Remember when he said this? “I don’t give a [bleep] that the relationship didn’t work,” Barber said of his parents’ split in a 2004 Post interview. “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.” I guess the bald, dapper apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.

Anyway, it looks like Tiki’s estate is getting sucked dry by Ginny Barber, and for good reason. Tiki,  if you’re ever in need of some housing you’re always welcome to the sewer grate by my house. Maybe I’ll even cook you up some of the rats we catch.

“Ginny wants $150,000 per month from him in alimony” and child support, an outraged pal fumed to The Post’s Dan Mangan. “In due time, if Tiki was dumb enough to give her that amount, he would be broke.”

“She’s hired a baby nurse to take care of the kids for $60,000,” the friend said. “And Ginny’s legal bill is approximately $75,000 per month to Nancy Chemtob,” her lawyer, said the friend. -NY Post

Ginny’s camp, on the other hand, perpetuates that all of the numbers thrown out by Tiki’s friends are all cooked. Read the rest of this entry »
