   14 September 2007 - Tiki Barber, The Use   
   17 Sep 07 22:04:46   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Tiki Barber:   
   	- The first thing Conan came to in the photograph is his naked   
   chest.  He wants women to buy his football book.  Conan shouldn't be   
   jealous.  He didn't need convincing to photograph himself shirtless.  In   
   ten years he may look like Conan.   
   	   
   	- He's got a twin.  Does it let you get away with stuff, like   
   Conan fantasized about?  The twin does it now and then.  One was   
   embarrassing, getting a signed jersey and walking down Manhattan with it   
   on.  And in the 2000 Super Bowl (nb) he was out hanging out all night.   
   After they won, a guy walked in whom Tiki'd never met before; his   
   brother had given his name.   
   	   
   	- Something about difficult men and a bike seat.   
   	   
   	- He thought kickboxing class with his wife would be easy   
   because his wife was going it.  But after about 20 minutes he was ready   
   to pass out.  Wasn't he a football player?  But it's different.   
   	   
   	- Bill Belachek was fined $500,000 for the signals taping.   
   Conan admits he doesn't get what the deal was.  Well, everyone does it,   
   but not usually to that extent.  They had a credentialled Patriots   
   employee on the other side taping, and asking to get caught.  The NFL   
   head has to take a hard stance.   
   	   
   	- Did players know it was going on?  Even if they did, it's   
   still up to the guys in the arena.  (Huh?)  People don't talk about the   
   coaching, they talk about the playing.  (I think they talk about   
   coaching a good deal.)   
   	   
   	- It's a harsh penalty on a person, and losing a first-round   
   draft pick is harsh too.  But relax, we'll all live, and get past it   
   together.  It's a tax write-off, though.  Fines go to charities.  Boys   
   and Girls Clubs.   
      
      
      
   The Used:   
   	- Lies For The Liars: I don't know.  Something about Free Love,   
   which doesn't seem to be on the Amazon.com list for this album.  The   
   singer tackles the drummer while shouting ``Conan O'Brien!''   
      
      
   Closing Credits:   
   	- After hiding Tiki Barber's book Conan steps over his desk and   
   does a silly little dance.
