Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself either folks.

He's been out of football for four years and will turn 36 this year.

Part of the reason (although I doubt he'll admit to it) could be because of the fact that the Giants won the Super Bowl the year after he retired. 

And with twin brother Ronde winning one in Tampa Bay, being left out of the Super Bowl club in the family and clubhouse must burn him to a certain degree.

So, Giants fans, could the Big Apple use Tiki again?

Well, head coach Tom Coughlin already has two solid RBs in Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.

Both perform well as New York's one-two punch combo behind Eli Manning, so what could Tiki bring to the table that isn't already there?

For starters, he does have more credentials in being a three-time pro-bowler and amassing over 10,000 yards rushing.

However, after Barber retired, there was a feud with QB Eli Manning about leadership and during his final years, there was some bad blood between he and coach Tom Coughlin.

Tiki criticized coach Coughlin's decision making in the postseason, as well as the way he runs practices and his overall coaching style.

Well, turns out the old ball coach knows what he's doing since they upset the then undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII without Tiki Barber.

So, Giants fans, do you want Tiki Barber back in New York City?
