The Buccaneers defense is currently #3 in total yards allowed, #2 in passing yards allowed and #1 in points allowed leaguewide. And yet not a single Buc is going to the Pro Bowl. Barrett Ruud led the league in tackles for a good part of the season, Jermaine Phillips is having a career year, Greg White has 8 sacks and 7 forced fumbles. Nothing.

I realize the game is for superstars and you can't really point to any on the Bucs roster, but it's pretty insulting when the Buccaneers are the only division winner without a player in the Pro Bowl. Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco, hell even Miami who just won their first game three days ago... all shit teams that have accomplished nothing this year. They're all sending someone to Honolulu in February. The Bucs, on the other hand, are equal to the Falcons in terms of Pro Bowl representation. Fuck that.

Bucs players need to go to the Pro Bowl anyway and crash that luau. The security is pretty light there; I'm sure they could have some fun. For example, during the wide receiver skills competition, Phillips could run onto the field and spear Torry Holt in full pads and helmet as he's reaching for that really high ball. Or Ruud could sneak up behind Tony Romo on one of those tours of the island and push him into a volcano. Not smiling now, are you Tony? Then Ruud could go back to Romo's hotel room and fuck Jessica Simpson just on principle. It's not like she'd notice. Ahh, well. One can dream.
