Need further proof that the Pro Bowl is just a joke?

[gr8slayer]

Guess how many players the Redskins have in the Pro Bowl if it started right now?

[Dujek]

I think 15.

They have a mass campaign going, I saw banners for it posted on another NFL forum.

[gr8slayer]

21 freaking players.... Their entire defense is the starting defense for the Pro Bowl right now and 8 of their 11 on offense would be Pro Bowl starters right now. Just amazing.

[Dr. Lecter]

Any fan voting for an All-Star team is a joke.

[Dujek]

But remember the fans votes only count for 1/3 of the total. By the time the press and coaches vote they should be back down to a reasonable number.

Draftboy and Lecter would vote for Campbell.

I couldn't agree more, I was as pissed as anyone to see 13 Cowboys last year. It really takes away from the credibility of the Pro Bowl when there are that many players from one team in the game. I think there should be some kind of a limit, I think somewhere in the area of 5 is fair enough.

Early and often baby!!!!!

He's a bum.

You weren't pissed. You cremed yourself. Jerry Jones is God. :snicker:

[TacklingDummy]

Have you seen his stats? He's an earlier MVP canidate.


BTW, I agree.

[gr8slayer]

You weren't pissed. You cremed yourself. Jerry Jones is God. :snicker:
No, I was honestly pissed off. There's no reason to have that many players from one team in an "all-star" game. I did think that six of the thirteen did deserve to be there though.

So was Trent Edwards, but you know how that went....

I was never pissed back in the early 90's when Buffalo sent more than a punter to the Pro-Bowl.

[gr8slayer]

Need even further proof? Roy Williams (SS) has made the Pro Bowl something like eight times, the guy is the worst SS in the entire NFL.

It happens in all the voting...Look at hockey when Rory Fitzpatrick was voted in by the fans and currently all the starters on the Eastern Conference play for the Montreal Canadiens.

I have no clue who that is but that's an awesome name :rofl:

[gr8slayer]

Cowboys Pro Bowlers in 2007:
- Demarcus Ware and Greg Ellis - Deserved

- Ken Hamlin, Roy Williams, Terence Newman - Are you serious? Newman is the only one who should have made it.

- Tony Romo - Deserved

- Marion Barber - Border-line

- Terrell Owens - Deserved

- Jason Witten - Deserved

- Flozell Adams, Andre Gurode, Leonard Davis - Davis deserved it, Gurode was border-line.

- McBriar - meh, border-line.

This year you'll only see about five Cowboys; Witten, Ware, Ratliff, Romo, Davis, no one else deserves it in this fans mind.

[TacklingDummy]

Looks more like 10 of the 13. :snicker: And your pissed. :lol:

[SABURZFAN]

i'm surprised that the Lickers haven't joined forces to get Lossman in there.

[RockStar36]

I'm glad this is happening. I hope for every year that they allow fan voting that something ridiculous happens to embarrass the league.

[tat2dmike77]

Does anyone even watch this? I know i don't.

[Night Train]

I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in 20 years.

[gr8slayer]

I do, but I live and die football.

[Mr. Miyagi]

It wouldn't surprise me if they voted in Sean Taylor as well.

[gr8slayer]

:lmao:

[FinFaninBuffalo]

It would be a travesty if it actually meant something. It is a popularity contest/beauty pageant at the end of the season. Why shouldn't the fans vote for who they want?

It's NOT REAL football. Who cares. I haven't watched the pro bowl in over 20 years. I don't even bother reading about it the next day.

[SABURZFAN]

Does anyone even watch this? I know i don't.


i only watch for the Hawaiian hotties in grass skirts. :hungry:

[LtFinFan66]

Guess how many players the Redskins have in the Pro Bowl if it started right now?None, because fan voting only counts for 1/3 of the voting

[Mr. Pink]

It's a popularity contest.

Know how Ruben Brown made the probowl like 8 straight years?

His name was at the top of the list.

[Oaf]

i'm surprised that the Lickers haven't joined forces to get Lossman in there.
Don't like you or your posts, but gotta say, that made me laugh. :chuckle:

[PECKERWOOD]

I like watching the drills, those are fun. I don't watch the game itself, though, really.

[gr8slayer]

None, because fan voting only counts for 1/3 of the voting
Read it again fish stick, I said if it started "right now." The only votes that have been taken into consideration to this point are the fans votes.

[don137]

All I know is you won't see many Bills fans voting for Peters after the crap he pulled this year.

[Jan Reimers]

I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in 20 years.
I'd rather watch reruns of Green Acres or Petticoat Junction, or whatever hideous show Arnold the pig was on. At least he played some defense.

Don't lie Jan, you're watching re-runs of the Golden Girls during the Pro Bowl.

[BlackMetalNinja]

I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in at least 5 years, probably longer. It only barely resembles the game of football.

Thanks to the pathetic rules they've implemented you're right, but it's still football on some level and I love it.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Part of what makes it interesting to me is the idea that one of the muli-multi-multi-millionaires could get injured and it could have an effect on the following season. Since you don't watch you probably wouldn't remember but I can still see Brees laying down on the goal-line screaming in pain after his shoulder got torn up (or was it his hand? You get the point.) Thankfully for him it required surgery but wasn't serious enough to affect the following season.

[Boomstick]

Don't lie Jan, you're watching re-runs of the Golden Girls during the Pro Bowl.
Doesn't everyone watch Golden Girls re-runs during the Pro Bowl? I know I do...
Don't you wish your girlfriend was got like Bea?

Not everyone.... Lecter watches re-runs of M*A*S*H and the Jerry Springer show :idunno:

[Mike13]

Yes the ProBowl is a popularity contest, what else is new.

And why is a Cowboys fan on a Bills site?

[LtFinFan66]
