News: Former Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber found dead in his apartment by Frisco police

[Hennessy_King]

RIP Marion the Barbarian. Was a beast on the field. Prayers up

 

[Manster_Mash]

So very sad. Much too young. RIP.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

So very sad. R.I.P. Marion. You'll always be a Cowboy. God bless you.

 

[SultanOfSix]

RIP. It has been said that’s too young to die but the unfortunate truth is, there is no age minimum for it.

 

[Plankton]

The man ran with the heart of a stallion, and left it all on the field. He was a force of nature, but that force took as much a toll on him as it did on the opposition. I loved watching Marion Barber play, and now I hurt with his loss. 38 is far too young to pass away. Rest in peace, MBIII.

 

[JJHLH1]

Dang, that sucks.

Only 38 years old.

This is heartbreaking. He, to this day, had my favorite TD celebration. Pound his way into the endzone and simply flip the ball. I loved watching it every time.

 

[FaSho]

One of my favorites of all time, I'm devastated

I am deeply saddened by this, I wonder what the cause of death was. He played the game with such a ferocious running style.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Was Marshawn before Marshawn was. Wasn't the most talented guy in the world, but he played hard and fearless. Wish some of the current Cowboys brought that to the table.

Some of my finest memories of that Cowboys era were because of Marion. I hope his family and friends are able to find peace in this difficult time.

I remember watching 2016 Zeke and thinking poor man's Marian Barber. That's how special that kid was.

 

[Silver Surfer]

RIP

What a tragedy.

It's sad to think that a man with his notoriety in this town could end up as just another person who slipped through the cracks of society.

Somewhere along the way he got lost.

He deserved better.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

My goodness. Didn't Dez say he wasn't doing well? God rest the soul of Marion the Barbarian.

Dez is not doing well also.

R.I.P. sir. You gave everything you had for our Boys.

 

[Big D]

RIP

OMG I've been on an all day car trip and just found out about this. Terrible news.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Rest in peace Marion Barber. You left us too soon.

Whenever I hear his name I just think of the determination he ran with. He set the tone. It just saddens me that it was this playstyle that led to this.

To anybody out there struggling with mental health please seek help. There is always somebody that cares, I promise you.

 

[Cowpolk]

Can't believe it.

I tackle away from a very long run

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I tackle away from a very long run

I remember all those 2007 games. Romo and TO grabbed the spotlight, but the heart and soul of the offense was Barber.

 

[CrownCowboy]

What a beast the Barbarian was.

Loved watching his physical style. Hate hearing of his passing.

To me, it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since he played but it has. Damn sure ain’t right that he’s gone now and way too young.

Rest In Peace

Tulius! With a birthday surprise for MBIII.

 

[The Fonz]

Sad to hear R.I.P
