The only other player I believe deserves it is Maynard. He leads the league with punts inside the 20.

LMAO Favre is in. Its a shame that fans pick this sometimes.

Briggs deserves it, though.

 

I think Gould deserves to be on the team, though. Oh well...

 

How did John Abraham from the Falcons not make it? 15 sacks! This is a joke of a game that nobody watches, anyway.

But, according to some here that we needed a new punter.

the pro-bowl sucks. They should just do what the colleges do. Have a 1st team all-division for each 8 divisions, have a 1st and 2nd team all conference team for each conference, and then have a 1st and 2nd all pro team (and don't let idiot fans pick these teams, have the coaches and players decide them). Then, for Hawaii, just have a skills competition, that one flag football game they have, and invite all players on the teams to come down and enjoy a weekend in Hawaii. Fans would still go down there, and they wouldn't have to watch a boring ass game of football.

That's all fine, but when he's 30th in YPP, that isn't fine.

gotta love how Brendon Ayanbadejo, yet again makes the pro bowl as a special teamer

Not a bad idea...

Remember Robert Edwards? He was a rookie rb for the Patriots who was invited to participate in a rookie flag football game in Hawaii. Tore his knee up and was never the same.

I remember it well. But that was so bizarre and flukley, that it could have heppend while chasing a puppy in his yard...

 

The odds of that happening again to a pro athlete are probably smaller than winning a lottery...

 

I mean, if that happened with flag in the sand, then wouldn't you in theory want to bar any physical activity but that which happens in an actual game? It's kind of like not allowing you son/daughter to drive because accidents have happened on the road previously. Bottom line, S happens... But, at least in a showcase, there would appear to be far less of a possibility for serious injury. And going back to the driving...you try to make sure your children get a safe car, wear seatbelts, teach them dangers of drinking/driving,etc...to lessen danger. You can't stop fukes...

I agree - s happens. I was just noting it can happen any time. Further, I agree lose the game and go to a skills competition. Make it a celebration of the NFL - for the fans to enjoy.

 

Peace

Works for me!

I wasn't saying the players should participate in the flag football game, but rather have the former players flag football game they have every year.

 

And for the skills competition, have the kicking competition, the QB skills challenge, etc.

I don't have a problm with Briggs being the only one chosen.

 

As far as I'm concerned he's the only one deserving of being called a pro bowl player.
