Marion Barber heads back to Minnesota as a professional.
Even though most of Barber's teammates are preparing for one last tune-up before their season opens, it means much more to the Minnesota native.
Barber will be returning to the state he was born and raised and where his football career took shape and where he gained national prominence at the University of Minnesota. Here he and current New England Patriot running back Lawrence Maroney powered the Gopher offense.
"Barberoney" was effective in the Twin Cities much as it is in Dallas with Jones.

But then again, look at it this way simon. Maroney learned all he knows from teaming with Barber.

Maybe Maroney learned how to share with a superior running back than he from Barber.

Dont think I started this one, but I will think about it.

Saw on a blog somewhere that a Fantasy pick was the Cowboys lose to the Pats in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they had it changed around so it read wrong!

I like the 1-2 punch of Jones and Barber...
