Or was it "Total Metal Cu^t"
Trying to find the Video again. But to me it looks pretty obvious that Tiki was pissed because his female college took a jab at him about a SuperBowl ring and he called her a "Total Metal Cu^t" on national TV. From the video you can tell she took it the way he said it too. She looked upset about it.

MSNBC TAKES UP FOR TIKI
Posted by Mike Florio on August 21, 2008, 9:45 p.m.
As the Internet buzzes with debate over whether former Giants running back Tiki Barber directed the ultimate gender-based slur toward a female colleague on live television from Beijing, MSNBC and Barber deny that he said what plenty of people think he said.
“I would never disrespect a colleague and friend with that kind of language,’’ Barber said via an MSNBC spokeswoman, according to Neil Best of Newsday. “It’s disappointing someone would intentionally misrepresent the hard work Jenna [Wolfe] and I are doing.’’
Tiki, no one is “intentionally misrepresenting” anything. You said what you said. The question is whether what you said sounds like what a lot of people think you said, and whether you meant to say it.
We’ve been giving him the benefit of the doubt as to whether he meant to use the “c” word, because it would be pretty damn stupid to use that word on television, and we all know Tiki is smart. (Just ask him; he’ll tell you. Continuously.)
But for Tiki to try to paint himself as the victim is shameful. Folks have concluded in good faith based on the available evidence that he said a dirty word. There’s no “intentional misrepresentation” of anything.
At least MSNBC realizes that no one is “intentionally misrepresenting” the situation and that reasonable minds might differ as to what Barber said. “Tiki and Jenna were discussing total medal count versus gold medal counts and Tiki’s words were unclear,” MSNBC said.
Yeah. His words were unclear. So were Imus’s.
