The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enduring a miserable season right
now. And their misery isn't only contained to the football
field, where they are 0-4 so far on the year.  For the last
month or so, the team has also been battling a staph infection
outbreak that has invaded their team facility. Back in August,
two Tampa players—guard Carl Nicks (pictured above on the right)
and kicker Lawrence Tynes—were diagnosed with MRSA, a very
serious infection that is resistant to antibiotics. And now, a
third Bucs player, who has not yet been identified, has also
been diagnosed with MRSA. Additionally, Banks was also just
diagnosed with a recurrence of MRSA yesterday.  And the Bucs'
MRSA problem doesn't stop there. Because MRSA is so serious—and
because it's unclear whether or not the Bucs have been able to
contain it in their facility—the NFLPA is thinking about asking
the Philadelphia Eagles and the Bucs not to play on Sunday
afternoon:  We wouldn't bank on the game being cancelled,
especially this late in the ballgame.
