Tiki Barber was rooting for the home and away teams when he was spotted attending the Princeton vs. Brown game on Friday night.
Barber — the Giants legend turned WFAN broadcaster — was off work, but was instead at the college football game as a proud parent, since his son, AJ, plays for Princeton and another son, Chason, plays for Brown.
Sophomore AJ scored his first touchdown for Princeton in the game, while freshman Chason was sidelined due to injury.
Said Princeton’s head coach, Bob Surace, “AJ Barber really stepped in, and his confidence is gonna soar,” according to the Daily Princetonian.
On Sunday, Tiki, 47, was spotted at MetLife Stadium to see his former team, the Giants, take on the Ravens. A source told Page Six that Barber was seen in the Fanatics suite during the game.
Luckily, Barber’s work schedule has been charmed this season, as he’s usually working to cover football on weekends. He was free to see his sons’ Ivy League squads play, and we hear the avid distance runner will also be free on the weekend of the upcoming New York City Marathon, Nov. 6, when he’ll run in his eighth in-person NYC 26.2-mile race.
Last year, we exclusively reported how Barber barely made it to the race after broadcasting a game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He faced flight delays and canceled Ubers, and even needed permission from New York State Troopers to make it to the starting line to run on just thirty minutes of sleep. But he made it to the finish line in a gutsy showing.
Barber shares AJ and Chason — as well as twin daughters — with his ex-wife, Ginny. He and Traci Lynn Johnson have two daughters.
