Ryan Clark found himself embroiled in a public dispute with Tiki Barber and radio host Gregg Giannotti.
The former New York Giants running back stirred controversy by declaring Saquon Barkley as “dead to us” following his move to the Philadelphia Eagles. In response, Clark rebuked Barber, stating on his Pivot podcast that Barber “taught me everything I refused to be as a veteran.”
Barber promptly fired back, instructing Clark to “shut the h–l up,” criticizing him for crafting a narrative to suit his agenda. Giannotti, Barber’s WFAN co-host, also chimed in, denouncing Clark as a “d-bag” within the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room.
Taking to Twitter on Monday night, Clark addressed Barber and Giannotti directly, expressing his willingness to meet in person to discuss their differences like mature adults and professionals.
“This is pretty easy… @TikiBarber & @GioWFAN. I’m in NY all week. Would love to meet anywhere you all would like,” Clark tweeted. “I have no problem. I didn’t say you know where to find me, I said I’m easy to find. As in anything further I’m willing to discuss in person as adult men & professionals.”

Initially refraining from public retaliation after being labeled a “jacka–” by Barber, Clark clarified that he merely shared his experiences with Barber without resorting to name-calling. However, he welcomed the opportunity for an in-person dialogue if Giannotti and Barber were amenable.
“So, Y’all tell me where and I’m there,” Clark asserted. “No camera, no mics, no public talking after. Three men in a room. Let me know fellas. God bless.”
In a gesture toward conflict resolution, Clark emphasized his preference for a private exchange devoid of external scrutiny, aiming to resolve their disagreements directly and respectfully.
