When the slave card doesn't fit...

Once you start comparing your 'struggle' to that of slaves and holocaust victims, no one takes you seriously and your argument is ignored.

Tiki Barber should have his mouth sewn shut.

yeah nfl player getting millions= eating hair soup and sawdust bread in a german concentration camp

Go fug yourself

Tiki Barber brought all of his misfortunes on himself.

No one made him quit football early and no one made him cheat on his pregnant wife.

I really didn't think that Tiki was this much of an asshat.

I hope he gets cancer on his nuts.

[SorthNarolina]

blech just awful.

[PhillyB]

way to inflame the hell out of the title. tiki barber actually technically compared his agent to anne frank, because he was hiding in the the attic and was jewish. poor choice of words but no sane person who reads the whole article comes away thinking barber compared himself and his situation to hiding from the nazis.

but sew his mouth shut/cancerize his nuts/send him to hell etc.

[Kakarot]

Hopefully, Tiki gets all this straightened out and gets back on the right track. I hope he's able to catch on with a NFL team and continue his career. Shouldn't have retired in the first place, but I'm rooting for him.

As far as his "Anne Frank" comment, meh... Probably shouldn't have said it, but it's definitely being blown out of proportion.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Hmm...Yeah, I'm not seeing the relation.

[panthers55]

It is being blown up as a big thing because the holocaust was such an abomination to all mankind. As long as there are jewish people to remember and retell the holocaust there is the belief it won't happen again. They are very sensitive to it being trivialized and forgotten.

I don't think his comments were meant to trivialize the Anne Frank situation, but I think he has to be more aware as to how sensitive the topic is.

[Jase]

I'm really pulling for him to get back in football

...so I don't have to listen to him on sunday nights anymore.
