Folks around these parts know just how media shy Marion Barber can be. On Sunday, however, MBIII will be front and center on ESPN's 9 am SportsCenter.
Barber will appear in a "Make-A-Wish" segment with 6-year-old Ian Gregory of Canyon, Texas. Ian has T-cell lymphoma and his wish was to meet the Cowboys running back. It happened back on June 17 at Valley Ranch and the Cowboys makeshift training facility in Carrollton.
According to ESPN, "(Ian) rode the team bus to practice with Barber, took part in drills with the running backs and joined Wade Phillips to break the team huddle at the end of practice.
The Barber segment kicks off the five-day "My Wish" series. Other wish segments include: Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins (Monday), pro skateboarder Tony Hawk (Tuesday), New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul (Wednesday) and NY Mets third baseman David Wright (Thursday). Chris Connelly hosts.
