Biased or Unbiased? Tiki Barber Thinks Eli is Better Than Peyton

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on March 25, 2016 CommentsComments (1)

Former New York Giants player Tiki Barber, who once shared a locker room with Eli Manning, stated Wednesday on his CBS Sports Radio show that he believes Eli is better than his brother, Peyton Manning. He said his ex-quarterback’s ability to win when it counts trumps his brother’s.

“The expectation was that he was never going to be Peyton. I remember having these conversations with people who watched Eli in college, saying, ‘He’s good, but he’s never going to be Peyton, he’s not Peyton.’ Guess what? I think he’s better than Peyton.”

“Because of clutch. What matters in sports? It’s winning and losing. You get to the stage and what do you do? Eli’s gotten there, and he’s won,” Barber said.

Eli Manning has led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles, while Peyton has only won one championship. Eli Manning also has a better winning percentage in the playoffs, winning 8-3 in the postseason, while Peyton has a 9-11 record in the playoffs.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
