If he would be a blind supporter of his old team on the air, we'd all criticize him like we do Mike Golic for thinking the Eagles are so great when they're a flawed team. If he honestly knows of issues with the team and it is now his job to talk about teams, why should he keep his mouth shut about them? When he learns inside stuff about other teams, he'll talk about them too. Right now, his analysis expertise lies with the Giants.
Anyways, I'm all for it. The Giants have this distraction, Dallas has Owens and the Eagles have McNabb who always gets into stupid media scandals. Good news for us.

I have a big problem with it. Although he didn't voice his opinion during the season, his indifference in the locker room and toward teammates spoke volumes. I'm sure he made his feelings known without saying a word. And why would he say things knowing it's going to further distract an already distracted team?
I think it shows and incredible lack of class for him to "finally" get stuff off his chest in the manner in which he's doing it. Jimmy Johnson summed it best, perhaps Tiki thinks he's smarter now.
