Watch: 'Brigitte Quinn's 22 Minutes' With Tiki Barber
In this installment of "22 Minutes," 1010 WINS anchor Brigitte Quinn sits down with former New York Giants running back and current co-host of CBS Sports Radio's Tiki & Tierney, Tiki Barber. Barber discusses life as a radio host, his take on history's best quarterback, and of course Super Bowl 50.
Barber said he and show co-host Brandon Tierney hit it off right away and even had the same manager prior to teaming up.
BQ: Do you guys hang out?
TB: We do! We have kids about the same age and it makes for organic interaction… it's a seamless conversation as opposed to "I have this agenda, you have this agenda." It works and we love it.
BQ: You mentioned Cam Newton and the match-up against Peyton Manning. We have a 39-year-old against a 26-year-old. So, who wins? Experience or youth?
TB: That's going to be the narrative… Peyton Manning, who's 39 years old, likely going through his last hurrah to win a championship, that ever-elusive second championship that he's missed out on two other times… versus this brash, hip-hop generation, energetic, different new version of a quarterback in Cam Newton. It's very bipolar when you look at their styles of playing and how they win. And it's kind of indicative of where the league is going.
BQ: Do you think it's Manning's last rodeo?
TB: I think it is. There were points in this season where Peyton Manning, statistically, was the worst quarterback in the NFL and it looked like his time had passed. Every great player, and he is a great player, has that little something left. And that's what people are holding onto.
BQ: Do you think there's anything to the NFL HGH investigation?
TB: I don't think so, not as it relates to Peyton… there are a lot of questions. But the NFL, really because of how they handled Tom Brady and deflate-gate, are forced to investigate it in depth.
Barber also called Brady "probably the greatest quarterback of our era" and possibly of all time.
