Joe Shane, the general manager of the New York football giants.

Now, Tiki and I sat next to each other, separated by about five feet.

We both listened to the exact same press conference.

I purposely did not offer any opinion to Tiki Barber, nor did I listen to anything you said.

We sat here and listened to the press conference.

I have a feeling. I could be

dead wrong that all sitting side by side listening to the same thing may actually come to complete

opposite conclusions on what we heard. We have different perspectives. I admit that. I am being an

IFO. You are a former giant legend. Right. Giants are my family,

man. I thought that was a

disaster. Why?

I'm going to tell you why. And I

think that, like I said, Tique, you're in a

very tough spot when you're 2 and 8.

Okay? Of course you are. You go into a press conference

where it's very difficult to make anybody

think, hey, oh, I feel

better.

So I admit that going in.

But I think when you cite how many close games you've been in, factual, but when you say it

over and over again and you talk about how close we are, I don't think any giant fan wants

to hear it.
