I think the thing that disappoints me the most in this whole issue is why any of this got to the media in the first place. This is all crap that should be handled in the lockerroom. Granted, the most recent devopements are because Tiki is now part of the media. Well, I guess he was part of the media with his Barber Shop talk show on Sirius radio.

I'm also quite disappointed in Tiki and his lack of professionalism. I can understand frustration against a coach for his actions. I can understand a lack of faith in a person who is supposed to be a leader on the field. But, being the professional (I guess I use that term loosely) and a veteran, you keep that stuff in the lockerroom. You work it out with your team. Nothing's ever going to be completely rosey and peaches and cream. That's why he should have taken his frustration out on the folks in question to their faces.

Say, "Hey coach, why did you go away from the running game? I was just finding my groove." or something to that extent. And "Hey Eli, dude you gotta grow a set and start leading this team like a man. You're too afraid to say something to anyone." Both folks probably wouldn't have greeted the discussion with open arms, but they would have appreciated you keeping this out of the media. Most professionals know there are things you just don't say to the media.

As much as I disapprove of Manning and his abilities, I have come to disapprove of Tiki even more considering his skills and length of service in the NFL. He should have been able to rise above that and keep an open dialogue with Coughlin and Manning.
