Another Cowboy surprise: Nick Folk.......a Rookie
Leonard Davis starting with Shawn Andrews reserve at G in the NFC. Davis has had a whale of a season, but Andrews might be the best G in the NFL this side of Hutch.
Sean Taylor S. C’mon. I know the sentiment, but for Christ Sakes, he’s dead. Are we supposed to appoint Tom Herrion, Darrent Williams and Marquise Hill too?
That being said, I tend to think of the big 4 sports, the NFL does the best job of looking past headlines for really good productive players.
They are always announced before the end of the regular season. In fact, the NFL is the only major sports league that has its all-star game AFTER the season.
I am willing to bet that Sean Taylor was named so that when Roy “Horse Collar” Williams is named as his replacement Roy gets asked how he feels knowing a dead man was a better safety than he is.
Players and coaches must have had a big hand in Taylor getting picked.
Wow, that’s a dig against Roy Williams even the sportscasters didn’t think of. Congratulations, I think...
Jacksonville Jaguars-currently 10-4,probably going to the playoffs.
No Pro Bowl for Fred in ten years,and not one Jaguar on the Pro Bowl team just full of people they've beaten.
No respect.
Seems like I spend half the game yelling “PUT BARBER IN!”
Wow, that’s two years in a row Olin Kreutz has missed the Pro Bowl. Anyone think that has something to do with the Bears’ decline?
You’re not the only one yelling for MB3. He should get 30 touches a game. It seems every time JJ is in the game, the running game goes to hell.
When all is said and done, figure on Derek Anderson, Joe Thomas to be in Hawaii with Cribbs and Braylon.
The NFL has only 16 regular season games ... baseball, hockey, and basketball have up to 10 times the number of games in their regular season.
11 Cowboys to 4 Packers-what a joke
the Bears have 4 guys in
another reason not to watch the Pro Bowl
Looks quite reasonable to me. Great choices.
What, no Buccaneers? A division winner should have at least one representative. Sheesh.
6 starters in NFC for Minnesota-
not 1 Jacksonville Jag
a joke
still waiting to see T.O. blow up-saw glimpses of it Sunday and I’m sure we’ll see more :)
For the Bucs, Barrett Ruud should’ve gotten in - as a reserve, at the very least. Criminy, why all the Pro-Bowl love for the Seahawks? (I know they beat the Bucs early on, but they’re in a very, very, very weak division.)
Taylor played free safety. Roy Williams is a strong safety.
