I found this little tidbit floating around the Yahoo website today. It’s called the buzz log, and the article shows the top twenty searches for a specific sports player’s jersey. The top player searched for was David Beckham. And, not a complete surprise, the next two were Cowboys players.

Coming in at number three was our very own T-Ro. Tony Romo is hot stuff this year, but apparently not hotter than the number two player: Marion Barber. That’s right, the Cowboys “backup” running back has the most searched for jersey of any NFL player.

Okay, so he’s only a backup in the technical sense that he doesn’t line up during the first drive of the game. But, still, I wonder how many times a player who shared playing time with another player has ended up having his sports jersey searched for more times than any other player?

It’s got to be rare. Especially if you consider standouts like Devin Hester to be ’starters’ on special teams.

It looks like people might be thinking of dressing up as a barbarian for Halloween. Let’s hope Marion the Barbarian keeps making enough plays to keep his jersey so popular.
