Bryce Harper Blows Kiss to Greensboro

Yesterday, Bryce Harper stood at the home plate and launched a kiss to the Greensboro pitcher.

The booing started automatically, including Jim Joyce and Kevin Kennedy. According to SFGate, Kennedy said, "that if he does something like that in the majors, opposing teams will retaliate, most likely by hitting a top Nationals veteran like Jayson Werth."

There is speculation that Harper's kiss was in response to a previous game where Greensboro hit him on the leg.

Harper was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age 16, he comes from las Vegas and he was raised by his father. Some even believe that Harper will be the next 18 year old to play in the major leagues, just like Alex Rodriguez.

Tiki Barber Compares Himself to Anne Frank

Tiki Barber, former New York Giants running back, recently offended many people after comparing himself to Anne Frank.

Tiki Barber was trying to explain to Sports Illustrated why he moved into the attic of his agents house, Mark Lepselter, (after divorcing his pregnant wife to be with a 23 year old girlfriend) and of course he had no better way to explain this than saying:

"Lep's Jewish. And it was like a reverse Anne Frank thing."

Of course his new roomate and agent Mark Lepselter came to Barber's defense saying:

"In a world where nothing surprises me, where things get completely blown out of proportion, this only adds to the list. All Tiki was saying to Jon was he was shedding light on going back to that time when he was literally trapped, so to speak, in my attic for a week. Nothing more, nothing less. Let me remind all those who want to make this more than it is: Tiki was a guest of (president) Shimon Peres in Israel five years ago."

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League is not please with Tiki Barber's analogy to Anne Frank:

"Holocaust trivialization continues to spread and finds new ways and expressions that shock the conscience. Tiki Barber's personal behavior is his business. But our history and experiences are ours and deserve greater respect than being abused or perverted by Tiki Barber. The analogy to Anne Frank is not funny, it is outrageous and perverse. Anne Frank was not hiding voluntarily. Before she perished at age 15 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, she hid from the Nazis for more than two years, fearing every day for her life. The Frank family's experiences, as recorded in Anne's dairy, are a unique testimonial to the horrors of the Holocaust, and her life should never be debased or degraded by insensitive and offensive analogies."

Tiki Barber recently announced that he will be coming back to the NFL after having retired in 2006. Will you be rooting for Tiki Barber?

Tucker Carlson Opinion On Michael Vick (VIDEO)

Tucker Carlson made use of his free speech right by saying that Michael Vick should have been executed for his dog fighting case.

In the video below Carlson says:

"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that. He wasn't, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs? Kind of beyond the pale."

Is Obama really an animal friend or enemy? His family didn't have a pet until he received one as a gift when he began his presidency.

Do you support Carlson or should Vick get a second chance? In the football field Vick recently player terribly against Minnesota Tuesday night.

Patriots Dynasty Still Alive And Strong

Most prognosticators around the NFL – including the Super Bowl predictions from BetUs – are projecting pretty much the same thing: the New England Patriots will be in the Super Bowl.

It’s hard to argue with the experts at this point. The Patriots are 11-2 and with what’s left on the schedule, they should be able to lock up home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Green Bay Packers visit this week and with an ailing quarterback like Aaron Rodgers (concussion), the Pats may get a freebie. Beyond that, they have two contests with the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.

So if the Patriots do finish 14-2 and lock up home field advantage in the playoffs, how tough will they be to beat?

For starters, the Pats have won 26 straight regular season home games that quarterback Tom Brady has started. Considering he’s playing like an MVP right now, that home field advantage might be even stronger.

New England Patriots

On top of that, the Patriots have a very young defense that has performed a bit better at home than on the road. Without a doubt, they would much rather have the fans cheering them than jeering them, and the Pats should be able to lock that up with a few more wins.

When you consider that only 11 teams in the NFL have a winning record on the road, home field advantage will be huge.

When you do the math, the Patriots are clearly the team to beat. And if they get to the big dance, given their track record, they are a great pick to seal the deal. Don’t be surprised if they have another ring at the end of this season.
