I know how you feel! I was sitting on several rookie cards that were graded 8's and 9's, one even 10 when Barry Sanders decided to hang up his cleats in lieu of smashing the ultimate rushing record :banghead:

I would have to think he has no confidence in manning and the team or one would think he would have came back for another go.
I know this is old news to anyone who follows football but man, that sucks.

You would rather have Tiki hang around like Earl Campbell and Emmitt Smith than go out on top like Jim Brown and Jerome Bettis?
I am no Giants fan, but from where I am sitting he went out the right way.

There is a difference in still having good years left then a back just staying around for the hell of it.

FYI - Earl Campbell is a cripple now, can't maintain a stream of thought for more than a minute, and lives half his life in a chair.
Tiki is a wise man. He's a millionaire, was looking at more millions outside of football, and he can still walk and think. Few NFL players are so lucky.

Exactly, has his health and his wealth. Seemed like he picked the perfect time to move on to other things. The notion that he owes something to the Giants given the nature of professional sports in this day and age, is laughable.
ChadTower:
Plus, he's intelligent enough to know Coughlin isn't a good enough coach to win a Super Bowl and Manning isn't a good enough QB to get them there. Eli Manning was not a #1 overall pick quality player... he was drafted on the off chance he was going to be like Peyton. He clearly is nothing like Peyton.
