Francesa VS Tiki WOW

in fact, the fat man did a good job here, saying to tiki's face exactly what he's been saying on his show. and tiki did a terrific job, objecting to the fat man's use of the words 'failure' and 'fired,' defending himself by citing a few pieces he did for 'today' he is proud of. listen, we all understand tiki sucked for nbc or he'd still be working for them instead of working his butt off before (i'm afraid) embarrassing himself in training camp somewhere, but he hung in, made his points, let the fat man continue to make his and the interview proceded quite amicably for the final 20 minutes or so.

the agent, though, is a dickhead who did tiki no favors by taking part in this, making tiki look like a child who required a 'bodyguard,' as the fat man put it. i have no idea why tiki thought it would be a good idea for the agent to join in -- or why the AGENT agreed this was the best way to proceed. crap, shouldn't any agent this side of drew freakin' rosenhaus know this would be a terrible reflection on his client?

though another of the agent's clients is also a wfan talking head, joe benigno. and benigno fully admitted today that it wasn't a good idea for the agent to join tiki for the interview. his explanation was that the agent 'never met a microphone' he ran from.

so there you have it... even his clients are aware that this agent is an egomaniacal attention whore.
