Nothing would make Tiki Barber happier than to see Saquon Barkley break his NY rushing record this season ... 'CAUSE IT WOULD MEAN HIS GIANTS WOULDN'T SUCK ANYMORE!!
"If he breaks my records, then that means good things," the NY legend tells TMZ Sports.
Tiki holds a grip of Giants records ... but it's his 1,860-yard, single-season rushing total that many have said could be within reach for Barkley by season's end.
And, if you think Barber is secretly hoping the star rookie falls short of that .
