In 1999, Brad Culpepper was the starting nose tackle on a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game. The '99 Buccaneers nearly derailed the high-powered St. Louis Rams to advance to their first Super Bowl, but St. Louis pulled out the 11-6 win with a late rally.
That feeling might be a bit familiar right now for Culpepper who, as a contestant on Survivor: Game Changers turned in a fantastic season but came up just short at the end. During the live finale of the long-running reality television series on Wednesday night, Culpepper lost the final vote, 7-3, to Sarah Lacina, a police officer from Iowa.
