The Marion Barber Game
There are losses with names. The Bears loss to Carolina in the 2005 postseason will always be remembered as The Steve Smith Game. Number eighty-nine had about a thousand yards with the Bears refusing to double-cover him. Or tackle him at the line of scrimmage. Or stab him in the throat. This performance was compounded...

Bears, Marion Barber get Tebow-ed
RICK MORRISSEY: Marion Barber’s locker looked like a teeny, tiny ghost town. Aside from a gray T-shirt hanging from a hook, it was a desolate place. It was almost as empty as the feeling the Bears had in the pit of their stomachs.

Marion Barber keeps the faith
Much has been made about Tim Tebow’s religious devotion, so much so that some have suggested the Bronco quarterback’s recent late-game heroics might be divinely inspired. Lost amid the Tebow Time worshipping was the fact that Marion Barber, the goat of the Bears’ 13-10 overtime loss to the Broncos on Sunday, is also deeply religious. Barber’s failure to stay inbounds late...

Why The Marion Barber Hate Has To Stop
A few days ago, my five year old son asked me why I liked the Chicago Bears. I felt like looking him in the eye and saying: "You know what son, I don't anymore.
