Tiki Barber Said The C Word On TV And It's Probably Going To Be A Big Deal

I have no idea whether Tiki Barber is widely known for being likeable, because I don't follow sports, but he seems immensely likeable, so if someone was going to say the C-word in the context of a joke while covering the Olympics on live television with Jenna Wolfe and his boss Brian Williams standing right there, I think the person most likely to be forgiven would be Tiki Barber. Hopefully the people in charge of freaking out about things (Elisabeth Hasselbeck) won't make a big deal out of this:

Via Jezebel, where they say they don't think he said that, which is kind of weird, because he says it loud and clear and then everyone gets uncomfortable about it.

Ha. it is actually pretty straight forward. She gives him shit about the fact that he can argue with her and not Brian Williams at which he point he responds with, "You are a total metal cunt" Fukin hilarious. I hope they went and screwed each other later that day to clear the sexual tension. and by they I mean Tiki and Brian.

Did anyone else catch the "jdate" comments that just went down between these guys. Anyone get the "inside joke"?

He said it clearly-and she heard it clearly. NBC's explanation of what he said, as everybody has pointed out ,doesnt make any sense. He must have been seething under his skin to the point he didnt care what he said. She hit a nerve with that super bowl ring low blow put down..then flat out made him look like a suck up to Brian Williams. You have to wonder why she hasnt called for his firing..or is she waiting???
He said it..video and sound dont lie.

maybe she has a sense of humor? None of this seemed mean-spirited to me.

I watched a few episodes of that very strange program with Tiki on MSNBC and I could not get over the weird chemistry between Tiki and that chic. Every part with them was an argument about something. Totally awkward.

Jenna should have never said something about a ring tiki didn't win. She started it just like she did when her and brian williams argued on air in the olympic updates. Jenna is a B word and a C word and they should fire HER. She is one of the hardiest people to work with. She is unprofessional and MSNBC should do us a favor and send her packing. I'm happy Tiki was able to contain himself as good as he did those two weeks working with that B word. Like she's the best thing since slice freaking bread!! She thinks she's hot shit in a champagne bottle, when she's really diarrhea in a dixie cup!!
