Ronder and Tiki were slamming Eli on sirius saying Eli's testes finally dropped, Kerry Collins was a true leader and Eli's return fire was laughable and that its Tiki's job to be controversial. Peyton came in and said this:
“Ex-players truly become ex-players right away, the No. 1 job is to criticize players. I’m pretty defensive of all quarterbacks. Eli is my brother. I’m very loyal to my family. I’d rather you criticize me. I don’t think anybody knows what it’s like to be a quarterback except a current quarterback. Sometimes former quarterbacks forget what’s it’s like. You cannot play quarterback at any level — you’re in a leadership position. To do it for three years in high school, three years as a starter in college, taking your team to the playoffs — you are a leader and you’re a good leader."
Manning added: “It’s supposed to be a code, teammates to teammates. That’s the problem we’re going to have with ex-players going to the media. When I retire, I know what I don’t want to do.” For the record, I hate Eli Manning and I loathed Tiki Barber and despise Ronde Barber.
