Tiki With Dominating Performence

May 18, 2014 2:32 AM

Tiki Barber put the ultimate exclamation point on the Giants' season of turmoil with a franchise-rushing record, a dominating performance that virtually assures his career will last at least one more week. In his last regular-season game, Barber carried 23 times for 234 yards and three touchdowns Saturday night in a 34-28 victory over Washington. The win ends New York's seven-week free fall just in time for the Giants to make the postseason as a .500 team.

Archuleta Lashes Out At 'Skins

Jul 8, 2014 9:54 PM

Adam Archuleta broke his silence on Thursday after spending the majority of the season in Joe Gibbs' doghouse. "Do I deserve an explanation?" Archuleta said. "I don't know if an explanation matters anymore because what's done is done. I pretty much know what's going on. I pretty much know what it all stems from." Archuleta wouldn't go into detail, but he said he hopes the coaching staff is upfront with him when they meet with him in next week's exit interviews. "I'm a grown man. I don't like getting lied to," Archuleta said. "All people want is for people to be straight up with them. I don't mind bad news. I don't mind negativity. I don't mind if somebody says to my face what my flaws are and what I'm doing wrong and what kind of person they think I am. "I welcome those kind of things because an honest assessment is all anybody wants in this business. I don't need someone to sit here and tell me how great I am: 'I'm doing good, just keep working hard.' I don't need that. I need real stuff. That's the only way I can make an evaluation as to who I am as a player."

Williams Wants Lions To Relax On Weight Issue

Aug 3, 2014 2:14 PM

Mike Williams said he thinks he will be back with the Lions next year. But he isn't sure, and if he does return, he wants a lot of things to change -- starting with his weight target. "If they do want me back, hopefully, we can come to a fair weight for me to play at," Williams said Friday. "If they want me here, I just hope all this other stuff will just be done," Williams said. "If they want me here with the focus of moving forward and doing what's best as far as winning and not being what it has been, and if that's the case, I'll be happy to be here."
