Tiki to the Steelers? Dear, God, No!

Today's Totally Awesome Rumor™ has Tiki Barber coming to the Steelers -- amazing, since neither he nor his agent have had any contact with the team.  And I believe that, too.  Why, on God's green Earth, would the Steelers want to add a running back who physiologically could be their starting back's father?

Okay, that's a subjective view.  Let's look at this through the pros and cons.  Cons first, because they are going to be a lot more fun.

Cons:

• He turns 36 in April
• He's been working out for, according to the NY Post, "the last two weeks"
• He hasn't played a down in four years
• You can't count his season average for fumbles with two hands and your socks off
• The Steelers already have Rashard Mendenhall, Isaac Redman, Johnathan Dwyer and, possibly, Mewelde Moore in their backfield

Now for the pros.  (This should be quick.)

Pros:

• ...I got nothin'.

So, to summarize, Adding Tiki Barber to the roster would have the same end result as throwing a single gerbil into the middle of a massive feral cat fight: no one winds up satisfied -- especially the gerbil.
