Tiki’s a very bitter guy. The Giants winning the Super Bowl the season after he retired messed with his head in a big way. But he was always somewhat of a malcontent.

Don’t like the Tik but the comment made me chuckle.

He's living in an attic. He's comparing his living arrangement to the arrangement that Anne Frank had.
Probably a dumb thing to do in any event, but I don't think he's saying "my troubles are as bad as Anne Frank's". This seems like the press making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ditto. This is a non-event.

Pretty witty. Like I always say, f### ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

Over reaction to a stupid joke by Tiki Barber. Hey, he’s just a ballplayer, I’m surprised he even knows who Anne Frank is. His life since retiring is truly a train-wreck though.

Yeah, I’m sure this millionaire’s life sucks so badly.... He retired 4 years ago and is now trying to get back into the NFL.
That tells me that he probably isn't such a millionaire anymore.

Wow, Who would have thought that Tiki’s a German Nazi.

Yeah, it’s a non-event, a stupid mis-characterization, and an over-reaction. But let me set another scene for you:
White football player, down on his luck, is hired as a caretaker for a black football star’s home and grounds. He jokes about the situation being a ‘reverse 1800’s plantation thing.’
The scenario is identical, but whaddya wanna bet that he’s labeled a racist from all corners?

After all the thousands of people who want to play for the NFL (but are never asked), it's hard to feel sorry for this crybaby.

Barber’s got good taste in his women - Arnold should take a page from this guy’s book. Personally I think the wife is actually slightly better looking than the 23 year old girlfriend.
To: ClearCase_guy
I totally agree with you. I’m actually kind of surprised a football player even knows the reference

Very, stupid comment, but I don’t think he meant to compare his suffering to Anne Frank’s . It seems more like a bad “Jewish attic” joke, than a bad holocaust joke.
Maybe Tiki should audition to take Steve Carell’s spot as the boss on “The Office”. That “joke” sounds just like something Michael Scott (or Joe Biden) would say.
At any rate, I think we have enough evidence to conclude that Ronde is not the evil twin in the Barber family. :)

I’d like to look up his girlfriends dress, though. Pretty nice except fog the fact she went with this crapbag when his wife was pregnant with twins.
Why a comeback? He was never all that even in his prime.

This idiot has just redefined “stupid!” He should remain unemployed, and should accept discrimination against him as the norm because being this dumb should bar one from being in the society.
