HONOLULU - Tiki Barber will end his football career much like it began when he was 8 years old - with a wide grin and as teammates with his twin brother.
The Pro Bowl on Saturday will be the final game for Barber, who is retiring after 10 seasons with the New York Giants. His brother Ronde, from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is a cornerback on the NFC team.
