Since retiring from being a running back for the New York Giants, Tiki Barber has six New York City marathons under his belt while Tedy Bruschi has completed three Boston marathons since retiring from his career as a linebacker for the New England Patriots.
Although Barber and Bruschi never faced each other in the two classic Super Bowls between the Giants and Patriots, they found a way to engage in a friendly New York-Boston rivalry though there was no way any tackles could be made.
Instead, they ran against each in a virtual setting as part of the NYRR’s Global Running Day, which occurred on Wednesday.
