    Careful about the gloating, Eli. You don't want to be considered the Tee Martin of the NFL.

    Tiki lost big time, big time.

    But Tiki is the brains behind the Giants keeping Tom Coughlin. We know that because Tiki told us that was true.

    Eli > Tiki & Ph.Rivers & Tee Martin

    John Mara did confirm that conversation.

    Yes he did - in a fine article in The Record by Ian O'Connor - an interview with Tiki on Thursday before game.

    That's a good article. Very enlightening and informative.

    I guess we can't truly know people unless we spend time with them, away from the job.
    I've never met Tiki, though I think he misspoke when calling Eli out as he did.
    The Giants were able to do what they did without Tiki, and credit goes to them for that.

    Time will heal all of the still-open wounds, perhaps.

    As a Patriots fan going back to the days of Randy Vataha and Mack Herron (so last night sucked the moose, to borrow a phrase from a friend who is an NBA scout), I gotta admit, it'll be fun watching the Giants at the White House going, "Where's Tiki? Oh, that's right. He's not here. And won't be, either."

    yeah, spnited, my friend, john mara confirmed the convo. but also said tiki just stopped by to say goodbye and that mara haad already asked several RETURNING players about tom and that they had all said to bering him back. mara made it clear that tiki's comments were zero factor in the decision to retain coughlin provided major tom agreed to lighten up a bit.

    it was good for ian to give tiki a forum to give his self-serving tiki spin, though. convenient of ian to paint it as if tiki saved coughlin's job.

    self-serving dick, tiki is.

    I always knew Eli would be a great QB who could lead the Giants to a championship.
