Another Bad Career Move For Tiki Barber

Tiki & Ginny

In his worst career move since retiring one year before the New York Giants won the Super Bowl, Today Show correspondent and former NFL star Tiki Barber has dumped Ginny Barber, his wife, for former 23 year old, NBC intern, Traci Lynn Johnson

To make matters worse, Ginny and Tiki have 2 sons and Ginny is 8 months pregnant with twins.

In his 2007 memoir, “Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond,” Barber described the example he wanted to set for his kids.

“I want to be an honorable man, because that’s what I want them both to be,” he wrote, noting, “My family is everything to me.”

Sources say Johnson, who also worked on the 30 Rock set, accompanied Tiki to film in Senegal when Ginny was three months pregnant. Their affair is particularly stunning in light of Barber’s long-standing disdain for his philandering father.

“After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate,” Barber said. “This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have known.”
