Veteran NFL Analyst Out At CBS Before 2025 Season<\/a> originally appeared on The Spun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CBS’ broadcasts are going to sound a little different in 2025<\/a> as one of its veteran analysts heads back home.<\/p>\n

According to reports, former Giants running back Tiki Barber is returning to the Meadowlands to call Big Blue’s games on the team’s radio broadcast.<\/p>\n

The three-time Pro Bowler already co-hosts a daily weekday radio show on WFAN called “Evan & Tiki” and now he’ll also handle pre- and postgame responsibilities on Giants game day.<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear at this time if Tiki went to WFAN by choice or if CBS decided against renewing his contract. But either way he’ll have a different network signing his checks this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

“I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN. This organization has meant so much to me, professionally and personally,” Barber said<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n

“The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters and Wellington Mara always told them to call it like they see it because our fans know better. I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate.”<\/p>\n

Audacy executive Chris Oliviero appeared equally as happy about the move with his comments on the hire:<\/p>\n

“WFAN and The New York Giants are two of the most successful sports brands in the tri-state area, and we’re honored to continue this long-standing partnership for the fans of Big Blue,” Oliviero said. “More programming, exclusive experiences and of course Tiki, will make the seasons ahead all the more special.”<\/p>\n

Barber retired in 2006 (just one year before the team’s upset Super Bowl XLII victory over the Patriots) after 10 years starring in the G-Men’s backfield.<\/p>\n

In the final five-season stretch of his career<\/a>, Tiki rushed for a combined 7,643 yards and 40 touchdowns \u2014 second only to LaDainian Tomlinson over that span.<\/p>\n
