Originally posted by no1marauderI said he had a nice career, but if you want to get technical the Eagles took HIM down 28 times in the game. Where the heck are you from anyway? Your Philly insults are getting old.
Philly fans: gracious as ever. 137 Yards against the mighty Eagles is hardly "taking HIM down".
The post that was quoted here has been removedThat's not what he said. He said he heard them yelling the usual classless Philly crap and it didn't motivate him anymore like it used to. So it's not like you idiots ran him out of the game; he just realized he was losing his edge. It's a shame but understandable; most athletes drag out their career until they are a shell of their former self, but a few like Ted Williams or Rocky Marciano go out on top.
Originally posted by PocketKingsNo, he didn't say that it happened DURING a Philly game.
He did say he realized it during an Eagles game, and then went on to say yesterday that it is fitting his career ended here
From my local newspaper:
Barber had walked through that same tunnel tha September day - heading the other way. As he entered the sunlight, he heard all the nasty words that Philadelphia fans hurled at him and his team.
Typically, they motivated them. But on this day, they landed harmlessly, like an Eli Manning incompletion [ouch!].
"That," he said,"was a pretty clear sign that it was probably my time to do this."
