He's essentially an "Entertainment Tonight" dork for MSNBC. Good casting.

Funny how he made his bones on Faux and Friends in the morning.

I don't think NBC will renew his contract. Tiki should look for
alternative career paths down the road.

did this guy actually think he was good on tv because i never did. maybe now
the networks are figuring that out. not gonna say he shouldn't have retired
though considering how things turned out.

Tiki burned his bridges with the Giants; stupid move. Now no one
wants him because he's got nothing without his association with the
NFL and the Giants. Is he still doing Sunday night football on NBC? I
wonder how long before he decides he can still play ala Ricky
Williams?

Maybe he can get a job in the CFL?

Guess he thought his big smile was enough. Wrong. He seems forced on TV like
he is "acting", I don't think he has the natural charisma like Strahan does.
Maybe he will get better, I remember how awful Steve Young was at first but
now he is OK.

Tiki seems like any other rookie TV broadcaster: he's timid, too much
acting, and not fast enough in reaction to on the spot questions. He
will get better providing that he actually listens to people's
advices.

Once he put himself ahead of the team, he lost all respect of the fans.
