This is Barber's fifth Pro Bowl appearance and the first trip to the annual all-star showcase for Joseph. Barber finished the 2008 campaign with four interceptions to go with 100 tackles and |

However, they are the first club to do so in a non-strike season since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended their first season as an NFL team with an 0-14 record in 1976. As expected, the dominos began to fall on Monday. Out as head coach is Rod Marinelli, who went 10-38 in his three seasons with the Lions and never could recover from the mess he wa |

The stars wound up aligning perfectly for Andy Reid's club, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' shocking home loss to a 4-11 Oakland team and the Chicago Bears coming up short in their finale at Houston keeping Philadelphia alive in the race for the NFC's sixth and final playoff seed.

| (MySportsbook) -- Four straight losses to end the regular season have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers missing out on the NFC's postseason parade, an idea that seemed rather far-fetched entering the month of December. That startling and epic cave-in is also a telling signal that a significant roster overhaul is on the horizon over the coming months. Tampa Bay's collapse culminated with this past Sunday's 31-24 defeat at home to the lowly Oakland Raiders, who erupted for 17 points over the final 10 minutes to seal the fa |

| Tampa, FL (MySportsbook) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams suffered a torn patellar tendon in Sunday's season-ending loss to Oakland, but the injury prognosis was better than expected. The injury occurred in Williams' left knee, but it was not as severe as his patellar tendon tear in his right knee suffered on September 30, 2007. That injury kept Williams out of the lineup for 14 months, and he didn't return to live game action until November 23 this season. The timetable for Willia |
