Marion Barber in trouble with Jerry Jones

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

So what did Marion Barber do to draw the ire of Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones?

Marion did not play with an injured toe.

“His toe is good enough to play,” Jones said. “We can support that toe and he can come play. He’s just not comfortable playing. … I don’t know if it’s going to be any different than it was this week.”

Jones said he expected Barber to play all week and was shocked the running back did not travel to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

“He can play with that injured toe,” Jones said. “He can play with the soreness and a combination of those things. I see nothing that led us to believe he couldn’t.”

Coach Phillips said Joes was not questioning Barber’s toughness.

So what the heck was he doing, if not questioning Barber’s toughness?

Man, you gotta love Jones as an owner. He is never satisfied and there are no sacred cows. Jones speaks and my guess is that Barber will be just a whole lot more motivated to play and play now.
