IRVING – Marion Barber rarely speaks to the media. He opened up Wednesday.

Sort of.

The running back was fined earlier this week for violating the dress code instituted by interim coach Jason Garrett. Asked if those stories were accurate, Barber gave this response.

"I respect what you do," he told a small group of reporters. "Why would I cry about what you do? That's your job. That comes with the territory."

Does it bother him that the story was reported?

"By no means, that's your job," he said. "Why would I get mad at what you guys do? I can respect that."

You will notice Barber neither confirmed nor denied the fine. He was equally circumspect on the other questions he chose to answer in a session that lasted less than three minutes.

I don't mind him not talking to the media but it sounds like he was a jerk about it.

Nothing wrong w/ being a jerk w/ the Dallas media. Those guys/gals are some of the biggest jerks on the planet. Everyone of them has an agenda and has proven it over and over again.

Only reporting on the team is only HALF of what they do. We all know that.


I got no issue w/ Barber treating them like a pack of circus clowns, because that's what they act like.

:cool:

It doesn't sound like that to me at all. Some people are just not comfortable talking to people they don't know well. When you say that you're not going to answer a question and they keep asking it, what can you do? It's too easy to nitpick a guy for that kind of thing. Could you honestly do any better? Do you like it when people watch you over your shoulder at work and second guess everything you do and ask how you feel about it?

Exactly. I'd do just like Barber and give them their NFL-required 20 minutes a year or whatever it is, and that's all. There's simply nothing to be gained from talking to these clowns.
