Tiki Barber and Al Roker Talk About Today | TV Guide News Report | 10/23/2007
Tiki Barber may have broken the New York Giants’ all-time rushing record, but he’s finding his most rewarding breakthrough with his post-NFL career as a coanchor on Today and Football Night in America."It’s fabulous and fulfilling in many different ways," Barber said Oct. 22 at the 2007 Quill Awards in New York City.

The Biggest Loser has a small but loyal following. Chuck will be this season's failed attempt at government geek gone good. SVU just rolls on.WEDNESDAY8 pm Deal or No Deal9 pm The Bionic Woman10 pm LifeHey, it's another non-scripted show at 8 o'clock for NBC! DOND on Mondays and Wednesdays will wear thin. The Battlestar Galactica team is involved with The Bionic Woman, so I'll give Jamie Sommers the benefit of the doubt. Life is this... read more
