“I want to be an honorable man, because that’s what I want them [his children] both to be. My family is everything to me.”

-Tiki Barber, in his 2007 memoir “Tiki: My life in the game and beyond”

“I don’t give a [bleep] that the relationship didn’t work. Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a lot of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that.”

-Tiki Barber, speaking of his parents’ split in a 2004 NY Post interview.

Ex-Giants superstar Tiki Barber has dumped his 8-months-pregnant wife, Ginny, for sexy former NBC intern Traci Lynn Johnson, sources told The NY Post last night. The football star-turned-”Today” show-correspondent left his wife of 11 years, Ginny, for the 23-year-old blond, who also worked at the NBC TV show “30 Rock”, the sources said.

Why I’m going to fire AT&T

Posted by | Posted in Life, Rants, Technology, business | Posted on 06-04-2010

(actually, it’s been dozens already, but since this is the first post about it, this starts at one).

Reason #1: 18 minutes on hold before a live person picked up. And all this time, a recorder telling me that I could fix most of my issues if I just rebooted my modem and my PC.

This is not the first time. AT&T Has the absolute worst phone support ever.

And their account people go home at 5 PM SHARP.  So you either have the option of calling during work hours, or be screwed.
