    Does this mean he's headed to Dachau?

    Well, to Tiki's credit, most NFL running backs have never heard of Anne Frank. :D

    I think George Bluth would have been a more apt comparison.

    I wonder, when Peter King wrote that he wasn't really moved by his visit to Anne Frank's attic, maybe he was actually at Lepselter's house looking for Tiki?

    Or defensive backs.

    Re: the quote, Jon Wertheim couched it perfectly in his SI story:

    "Here is Barber writ small: He has the wit and smarts to make an Anne Frank allusion and the artlessness to liken himself—an adulterer trying to elude gossip columnists—to a Holocaust victim."

    That's an actual quote from Crowder, btw.
