Jones believed Marion Barber’s dislocated right pinkie toe was an injury that he could have played with against Pittsburgh. Before the team boarded for its flight to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Jones was stunned Barber did not make the trip.

"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."

I saw that today too and just shook my head. Why would you say something this stupid about a guy who the players of the NFL regard as one of the most physical, hard nosed SOB's to come down the pipe in a while?

Just shut the **** up you idiot. My god someone in that office buy Jerry the $3.00 roll of duct tape.

I forget who it was a few years ago that was being interviewed (Maybe Marshall Falk), but he was asked what is the toughest injury to play with, and he said a toe injury. I remember the reporter saying a toe? And the player saying we don't jog in a straight line, all your weight is on your toes when running and cutting, and the pain is unreal when you hurt a toe.

Note to Jerrah: you lost because your defense folded and Tony Romo turned the ball over.

He had a nice day, but he is far from being Marion Barber.

I LOVE IT. First Turd Owens fires off, now the owner himself. I think things are gonna come unraveled in Big D quickly....

JJ is right, Marion Barber is a big fluffy teddy bear, they should trade him to Miami for a 4th round draft pick as soon as the season is over...

Wasn't JJ first move in dallas firing Tom Landry?

That should say all you need to know about the guy.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Jone's is an idiot... Barber is a hell of a physical player, the stuff he puts his body through week in and week out for Jerry is insane... How does he expect his running back to be able to run, and cut with a toe injury. Face it Jones... your boys probably aren't making the playoffs. Personally i think its hilarious if they dont make it either.. :lol:
