Barber won't join debate
Reigning NFC rushing touchdowns champ Marion Barber chatted with the media after today's practice. That's news because Barber is usually most elusive when reporters come his way.
Barber wanted no part of being pulled into the debate about whether he should get a larger share of the carries.
"I don't know," he said. "That's something you've got to ask the coaches. I can't worry about that. It's team first."

Anderson explains cricket eating
Rookie FB Deon Anderson confirmed that he did indeed eat a live cricket and gave me all the squishy details.
"It was kicking and everything," Anderson said. "I almost dropped it. ... It wasn't that bad. I thought it'd be worse. I was thinking about frying some up tonight for some protein."
Anderson ate the cricket to save 50 bucks, although he says it was more a matter of pride. He had bet injured RB Alonzo Coleman that he could throw an apple into a trash can located at the other end of the rookie locker room. Anderson missed on two attempts, costing him $25 a pop.
Coleman made a double-or-nothing offer, pointing to a cricket that was parading around the locker room. Anderson said the toughest part was cornering that little sucker.
FS Courtney Brown recorded all this ridiculousness on his fancy-schmancy cell phone. The veterans saw the video in the team meeting minutes later, confirming to all that Anderson is a little crazy. I'll see if I can get Brown to forward the video my way or perhaps put it on YouTube.
Full disclosure: I sure hope Anderson makes the team.
