Ghost of BiB Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 Maybe there's less gravity there? What? 631790[/snapback] He's become a host on the FOX morning show. I just saw it as an odd choice, nothing wrong with it, just odd.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Barber plans to go into broadcasting fulltime when the football gig is up. Might as well get a head start.
SouthernMan Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Anyone know how or why Tiki Barber is holding down a chair as a regular on Fox and Friends? 631647[/snapback] I saw him on there one morning several weeks ago and didn't realize it was him. I thought it looked like him, but wasn't sure. I was impressed with his ability to be more than just a talking head or a jock celebrity getting some face time. He appeared to be well-versed in issues concerning the middle east and an overall good conversationalist, and someone who can hold his own conversing with seasoned reporters. He was exceptionally at ease and had the poise and manner of someone who'd been a regular on that type of show for years.

Extremely sharp, and tough lady, it is no surprise her sons are well spoken and project very positive images.
X. Benedict Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Fox needed somebody with college learning to add an intellectual dimension to the show.
