The saddest man in America right now? It's none other than former Giants running back Tiki Barber, who's melting down after Saquon Barkley bolted from New Jersey New York to sign with the Eagles on Monday.
Barber, in his role at WFAN Sports Radio in New York City, went off about Barkley leaving the Giants for the Eagles specifically.
"He's dead to us now. You're dead to us. Good luck. You're dead to me," Barber said Monday afternoon after the Barkley news broke.
This comes after Barber warned Barkley last week about leaving for Eagles, saying that the move would be "insulting to his Giant history and legacy."
Rough look!
Never forget that Tiki Barber, unhappy with the Giants organization, retired after the 2006 season. The Giants won the Super Bowl the very next season.
Sad!
Here's an image of cornerback Sheldon Brown laying out Barber in a playoff win over the Giants in Jan. 2007, Barber's last game in the NFL:
Saquon later responded to Barber's comments:
