Here are the rosters as posted on NFL.com, there really arent many surprises. Glad to see Sid Rice, Peterson, Williams, and Allen make it, as they all deserved to go. Too bad Percy Harvin didnt get consideration as a KR, as he definitely deserved to make it as well. Usually they select a different returner than the players already selected, but Jackson has also done a great job for the Eagles. In total the Vikings got 8, which looks to be the highest of the NFC, but I didnt go that far into it.
It also doesnt hurt to mention that if a team is playing in the Super Bowl, those players will not play, so there could be quite a few slots that would be filled. Favre hasnt played in a pro-bowl in years, and a lot of players still fake injuries to avoid going, or maximize existing injuries. For all intensive purposes, this game is a joke anyways, so the honor is in the actual consideration. Stupidly, the game is being played in miami, BEFORE the Super Bowl, and I am still not sure why the league decided on this.
AFC on the left, NFC on the right.

My question is does the NFL really expect any Super Bowl players to participate?
ReplyDeletei'm sure the Hawaiins are pissed. The schedule of this thing is ludicrous. Nobody is going to care about this game with the Super Bowl still looming. It's all about offering companies cheaper ad times in an attempt to cash in on Super Bowl ad watchers.
ReplyDeleteDeSean is infinitely more deserving of the pro bowl then Harvin.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but he was already in as a WR.
ReplyDelete"i'm sure the Hawaiins are pissed" who cares? you watch the game ever? the stadium was never full. at least this way there wont be empty seats
ReplyDeleteThere were some notable exclusions that I, at least, thought were surprises: Cedric Benson, Brent Celek and London Fletcher, for a few.
ReplyDelete1) Super Bowl players aren't playing. The roster spots are replaced.
ReplyDelete2) Nobody cared about the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, especially the Hawaiians. They feign slight interest in UofHawaii when they're good and don't give two shits about anything else. Also, they made very very little money off of the pro bowl as well.
I was ticked when the Super Bowl moved (no more b-day/super bowl parties!!) and now this psychotic attempt at "shak'n things up" chaps my rear!!!
