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

[AyeAtey]

Brutal and violent sport for sure, with pitfalls.

But he had a style that really entertained "all" of us Cowboys fans.

 

[AbeBeta]

Broadus has insinuated over the last couple of years that MB3 was struggling. Never elaborated. Very sad.

I hope his family is open to having his brain analyzed. Given his playing style, I can't imagine he didn't have undiagnosed concussions.

 

[Floatyworm]

Loved this dude.

RIP.

Guy played with more heart and soul ....of any Jerry draft pick. Not gonna comment on why I think he died....just know this one hits as hard as #24 stomping through zero daylight...and making hay.

RIP.....Marion

 

[Mobinvans]

RIP…loved watching him play

Damn. Really sad. One of my favorite players from that era.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

So very sorry to hear this, a fan favorite. RIP and prayers.

I can still see #24 running hard and tough breaking tackles and delivering punishment to oncoming defenders.. Granted, his running style wasn't going to be sustainable in terms of longevity, but damn he was fun to watch!! He was also a great weapon for us in short yardage and goal line situations.. Marion, as a Cowboys fan, I thank you for what you gave to this game but more importantly I thank you for being hard-nosed and old-school. Unfortunately your time with us was short, but you'll be remembered as one of those guys that left it all on the field. **Prayers Up** {Rest In Power}

RIP

So sorry to hear this sad news.
Read on the board he was not doing well.
He played so physically it had to have taken a toll on his body.
Prayers for his family and friends.

Do people realize that it’s not always CTE?

Sometimes folks just have mental health issues, drug issues, “demons”, and other problems.

I hope you guys aren’t this premature and presumptuous in all areas of life.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Man this is horrible news.

RIP. Prayers for his family and friends.

 

[nalam]

Very sad indeed, RIP barbarian, his 2 yard run from the EZ defying a boat load of NE defenders is still green in our thoughts!

 

[JoeKing]

Very sad news. RIP Marion Barber III

 

[DeaconBlues]

Horrible, just horrible. One of my favorite Cowboys.

RIP

 

[Majic]

Sad news, was a very good player for the Cowboys. He was able to reignite the offense

 

[Pass2Run]

Well, that’s cowboys news you never want to read.


RIP Barber.

Indeed. Anyone who doesn't feel a tad bit of guilt isn't human and isn't paying attention.

Just wow. So terribly sad.

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

Hopefully, I'm betting it does, because it has to, this will start something for the Cowboys where they follow up with our players after they're gone.

Randle, Barber, there are others too.. And ethically, we just can't keep up with the status quo.

Zeke can't be next, etc.

 

[Broges74]

Damn, 38. Way too young.
