    How do you not see that two of the first 4 threads in this section are about the exact same topic...i have a feeling you just felt like posting it anyway...even though i know you saw the other threads.

    LOL...this game is so ridiculous...


    "So if Manning has to withdraw because the Colts go to the Super Bowl, Schaub will be the AFC's Pro Bowl starter, with Young and the fourth alternate (whose identity is not currently known) backing him up."

    No, this thread is about the Pro Bowl needing to combust. No one watches, and the players obviously don't care. The All Pro Team is all the recognition the players need.

    They should just play it in the middle of the season like every other league does or do away with it for good.

    Garrard, Palmer, Flacco, and Orton all had better years.

    I cannot believe that such an undeserving player has been given this award, not once, but twice.

    Get rid of the f***ing thing if you're going to let scrubs play.

    No coach would ever let one of the players risk injury mid-season.

    I understand you aren't a VY (nor Texas) fan, but when you use words like "scrubs" it really shows your bias.

    VY probably doesn't deserve this Pro Bowl bid, and this is coming from one of the biggest Texas/VY homers on the board. However, he is incredibly far from a scrub. Only those wearing the darkest anti-burnt orange glasses (texxx, PF, Vinsanity) would call him one.

    Sorry, he's average at best. When you're in the mix with guys like Alex Smith, Chad Henne, and Jason Campbell, you're a scrub... just like those guys are.

    It gets even worse when you take career achievements/statistics into account.

    No apologies for the scrub comment.

    What is hiw winning percentage . . .versus all of them . . THIS YEAR?

    80% winning percentact
    only 2 losses are from a then undefeated team and a team on a 10 game roll
    Only team in HISTORY to start 0-6 and ended up .500

    It's 0-0 for all of them, considering that, um, it's a team sport and not a game of 1 on 1.

    Pro bowl is the worst thing ever in the history of sports. It means nothing and nobody watches it. It's a joke and it should end.
