Tiki, Eli, Vick, and the Metro

The latest report out of New York is that former New York Giants and UVA running back Tiki Barber is in a verbal sparring match with current Giants quarterback Eli Manning. There you go Eli. Way to lose focus by worrying about what a former teammate has to say about you. That's Tiki's job now. To talk about NFL players. Deal with it and stop being a baby. I think Peyton stole all the talent from his parents and left none for Eli. I wonder if Eli remembers his draft day when he demanded to be traded from the San Diego Chargers. I guess he thought having LaDanian Tomlinson as his teammate would have been a bad thing. Good move.

Does anyone think that Michael Vick will consistently be the first pick?...in the prison football pickup games with the rest of the prisoners? All joking aside, he will probably get the "Paris Hilton" celebrity treatment and Martha Stewart house arrest. What a sad story this has become. A few weeks ago on SportsCenter one of ESPN's brilliant commentators stated something along these lines: (Well, the Falcons will be a different team with Joey Harrington at quarterback versus if they had Michael Vick. Joey Harrington is no Michael Vick.) You think??? Thanks for the insight.

In other news, I am going to gripe about Metro some more. I was trying to get into D.C. yesterday during rush hour and one of the trains did not have A/C. Next it was decided that because of this the train was deemed "out of order" and everyone on the entire train was forced to get out and wait for the next one. The next one comes 2 minutes later but does not leave for another 10 minutes as "we are experiencing delays. Thanks for your patience customers". Lastly, why don't people understand that you walk on the left side of the escalator and stand on the right?
