Patrick M. Barnes (born February 23, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL), XFL, and Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for the California Golden Bears, becoming one of the most prolific quarterbacks in program history, and was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth round of the 1997 NFL draft. Barnes played professionally from 1997 to 2003.
Barnes played college football at the University of California, Berkeley, where he emerged as one of the most productive quarterbacks in school history. He served as the primary backup to Dave Barr during the 1993 season, but following an injury to Barr and a midseason three-game losing streak, Barnes was pressed into action and made his first career start against Arizona State, burning his redshirt in the process.[1]
Entering the 1994 season, Barnes was again expected to serve as Barr’s backup, but injuries once more forced him into extended playing time. He started the final three games of the season, highlighted by a victory over rival Stanford in the season finale that helped stabilize the program.[2]
Barnes became Cal’s full-time starter in 1995 and held the role through his senior season in 1996. Under head coach Steve Mariucci during the 1996 season, Barnes operated in Mariucci’s version of the West Coast offense and earned a reputation as a poised distributor who spread the ball effectively and excelled throwing on the run. During the season, he attempted 420 passes, set a then–Pac-10 record for touchdown passes, and posted a 31–8 touchdown-to-interception ratio. A signature performance came against Arizona in a four-overtime game, when Barnes threw for 503 yards and eight touchdown passes, tying a conference record.[3] His overall performance earned him second-team All-Pac-10 honors, finishing behind Jake Plummer.
Barnes concluded his collegiate career as one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in Cal history, setting multiple single-season and career records and leading the Golden Bears to a bowl appearance. He capped his career by appearing in the 1996 Senior Bowl, where he threw three touchdown passes and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player, though the performance was marred by a broken right wrist sustained during the game.[4]

Barnes was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth round (110th overall) of the 1997 NFL draft, joining his collegiate teammate Tony Gonzalez.[6] He did not appear in a game during the 1997 season and was listed third on the depth chart. During the following offseason, the organization sought to assign Barnes to NFL Europe, but he declined and remained with the Chiefs through offseason activities. He was released on August 25, 1998, following the fourth preseason game, after Kansas City signed Todd Collins.
On September 9, 1998, Barnes was signed to the Washington Redskins practice squad. He was released six days later, on September 15, 1998.[7]
Barnes signed with the Oakland Raiders on September 15, 1998. He was elevated to the active roster on multiple occasions but did not appear in a regular-season game during the 1998 season. Following the season, he was allocated to the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe.
The Galaxy employed a two-quarterback system featuring Barnes and Jake Delhomme, nicknamed the “Double-Headed Quarterback Monster.” Delhomme typically started games, while Barnes played the second and fourth quarters. During the 1999 season, Barnes threw for 1,468 yards, 12 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. In the World Bowl '99, he completed 12 of 16 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns, including three scoring passes to Andy McCullough, leading Frankfurt to a 38–24 victory over the Barcelona Dragons.[8] Upon returning to the Raiders, Barnes was released on September 4, 1999, during final preseason roster cuts.
On October 1, 1999, Barnes signed with the San Francisco 49ers, reuniting with former collegiate head coach Steve Mariucci. He served as the third-string quarterback behind Jeff Garcia and Steve Stenstrom. After a 3–8 start to the season, Mariucci indicated that Barnes would receive playing time later in the season.[9] He made his NFL debut in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons, appearing in the 26–7 victory but not recording any statistics. After the season, he was again assigned to the Frankfurt Galaxy.
Barnes returned to Frankfurt for the 2000 NFL Europe season and served as the team’s primary starting quarterback, while also splitting time with Ted White. He completed 138 of 250 passes for 1,954 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. At the conclusion of the season, Barnes became the league’s all-time passing touchdowns leader with 30.[10] His performance earned him a contract with the New Orleans Saints, who signed him on June 29, 2000. He participated in training camp but was released on July 31, 2000.
On October 28, 2000, Barnes was claimed by the San Francisco Demons of the XFL through territorial protection. He initially served as the backup to fellow Cal alumnus Mike Pawlawski, but assumed a larger role once Pawlawski was injured. In Week 5 against the Birmingham Thunderbolts, Barnes made his first Demons start, completing 10 of 17 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for a touchdown. His performance helped San Francisco post a season-high 39 points in a 39–10 victory.[11]
Barnes started the following week against the New York/New Jersey Hitmen but was unable to secure a win. He returned to a backup role until Pawlawski suffered an injury in the final regular-season game, prompting Barnes to start in the semifinal matchup against the Orlando Rage. In a 26–25 victory, he completed 16 of 26 passes for 181 yards with two interceptions and added two rushing touchdowns, sending the Demons to the championship game. In the title game, Barnes replaced Pawlawski in the second half when the outcome was out of reach. He completed two of five passes for 26 yards with one interception but was injured during the contest and replaced by Oteman Sampson.
In September 2001, Barnes signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. Serving as a backup to Marcus Crandell and Ben Sankey, he saw limited playing time, appearing in eight games and completing 2 of 3 passes for 25 yards. Barnes was part of the Stampeders roster that won the Grey Cup that season, earning his second professional championship following his 1999 World Bowl victory with the Frankfurt Galaxy.
On January 15, 2002, Barnes was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for future considerations. He spent the 2002 season as the second-string quarterback behind Khari Jones, dressing for all 18 games and completing 17 of 25 passes for 210 yards and one touchdown. On January 10, 2003, he signed with the Cleveland Browns but was released on June 5, 2003. He subsequently re-signed with Winnipeg for the 2003 season. In Week 18 against the Edmonton Eskimos, Barnes received his first CFL start due to Jones suffering a high ankle sprain. He started again in the season finale, also against Edmonton, but sustained a significant knee injury in the first half. He was released at the conclusion of the season on December 8, 2003, and retired from professional football the following day.[12]

Patrick M. Barnes (born February 23, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL), XFL, and Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for the California Golden Bears, becoming one of the most prolific quarterbacks in program history, and was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth round of the 1997 NFL draft. Barnes played professionally from 1997 to 2003.
World Bowl '99 (also referred to as World Bowl VII) was the seventh championship game of the NFL Europe League. It was held at Rheinstadion in Düsseldorf, Germany on Sunday, June 27, 1999. The game was between the 6–4 Frankfurt Galaxy and the 7–3 Barcelona Dragons. 39,643 fans were in attendance for the match-up, as they witnessed Pat Barnes, Jake Delhomme (future Carolina Panthers quarterback) and the Galaxy avenge last year's World Bowl loss with a 38–24 victory over the Dragons. Galaxy wide receiver Andy McCullough captured MVP honors with six receptions for 151 yards and three touchdowns, with his longest reception at 45 yards.
Donald S. Martinez (1903–1955), was an American commercial fly tier, fly shop owner and fly angler. He is most noted for his development and promotion of the woolly worm fly and dry fly fishing in the Yellowstone National Park region. He operated a seasonal fly shop in West Yellowstone, Montana during the summers of 1932–1943. Pat Barnes bought the business after World War II and operated the Pat Barnes Tackle Shop until 1981.
Teletruth is an early United States television series. It is notable as an early example of a television game show for kids, though it was not a network series. It aired on New York City station WNBT from 1945 to either 1946 or 1947. It was originally hosted by Pat Barnes. Jay Marshall later took over the hosting job.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
