    WTF is this crap?

    http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls?pCat=46&sCat=931

    Which AFC Pro Bowler is the least deserving? 3 Texans out of the 5 options. Mario I can see. Demeco, not so much. But why the **** is Andre Johnson an option? Leading the league in receiving isn't enough? Whoever made this poll is an idiot.

    I'm proud of all 4 guys especially Cushing. The kid played flat out bonkers this year. The energy/intensity he brings to every game is awesome.

    Ya, Matt behind Ben seems ludicrous to me.

    I think we knew very early on that our LB's were something special. Both Cushing and Ryans complement so well - So cool that both fired each other up and performed so well. The recognition is well deserved.

    At first I thought Mario Williams did have a down year (which he did), but what helped was ALL DE's had down years. As pointed out he was 4th in sacks in the AFC - much better than I thought! Plus he is the one most likely to get the double, and plays so completely well against the run...In hindsight he deserves it.

    Andre Johnson could go in the hall of fame right now. He is ridiculous...

    ESPN is to Sports News as Fox News is to real world news.

    They have an agenda, they're gonna push it.

    What are you saying? I thought ESPN was fair and balanced just like Fox news.

    I don't think Ryans was deserving, but AJ was certainly a top 4 WR in the AFC. 1st in yards by nearly 200 yards, Tied for 3rd in receptions, Tied for 4th in TDs.

    Schobel the DE with more sacks that didn't make it got 3 sacks after the voting was over. So at the time of voting Mario was actually 3rd in sacks among AFC DEs.

    Matt is going to pull a Dream-like performance against the Pats. Remember the Spurs series where they gave DRob MVP? Yup, Schaub is about to go off against the Pats.

    Congrats to the guys that made it, but Schaub not making it is pure BS, IMO.

    Cushing making it is just straight up badass. :cool:

    Some very good rookies on the D side this year, Byrd, Dummervil, Cushing. I was first thinking it was a lock for Cush DROY but the other two are league leaders in their respective stats, sacks and picks.

    Dumervil isn't a rookie. But it might be close between Byrd and Cushing.
