I voted for him just for standing up to Kraft holding out and calling him a liar. Priceless, you get my vote Logan.

Example 1 of a billion why the ProBowl is meaningless…rival fans’ uninformed voting. Hey Indyfan, what you don’t know or care to is that Mankins said that in anger, it wasn’t the truth (Pats offered him a pretty nice looking deal)and he admitted it wasn’t the truth. Bet you don’t even know exactly what Mankins called him a liar for.

Ray Lewis did not have a better season than either James Farrior or Lawrence Timmons. Hampton should have made it in over Wilfork on the basis of being the most important player on the best rush defense in the modern era (up until 2 weeks ago).

Revis and Nnamdi did not have better seasons than Joe Haden.

Ed Reed may have had 6 picks, but I think he had 3 two-pick games (against really bad quarterbacks). He has like 40-some tackles too, which means he made the pro bowl on his performance in 3 games?

He made it for the same reason that Mankins did. He’s got a name.

Humble, focused, hard working.

I love Brady being a shoe in for the MVP award, and criticizing it anyway.

I love Woodhead poking fun of himself as he tries to sell his own jersey.

I love the way that 61 players, week in and week out, manage to avoid disclosing competitive information to the media, or criticizing their opponents.

Haters can hate all they want, but the Patriots players’ record speaks for itself.

(Didn’t think this was Jason Witten’s year either, but he’s Dallas’ Union Rep……)

Guess you didn’t pay much attention to football this season, Witten leads the LEAGUE this season in receptions and yards, and leads the NFC in TD receptions among TE’s… he also became the fastest TE in history (beating Tony G’s previous record) to 600 receptions this season, and only one of 4 in history to make it there. So yeah, I’d say this was his year actually. I’m a Cowboys fan, and I will admit that most of the Cowboys who made it in the Pro Bowl this season DID NOT deserve to be there (esp. Gurode), but Witten more than deserves to play in the pro bowl. Next time check your stats before you hate….

As a Pats fan I will say that Mankins is playing at a pro bowl level and its widely agreed upon that he is one of the top 5 guards in the league. But I cannot agree with a guy going to the pro bowl after playing 7 games.

And Meriweather shouldnt be in either, what a joke.

Yes, you are right there infectiondude, LM will end up in Hawaii, because the Pats will not make the Superbowl.

Same thing happens with lots of guys…..I’ m an Eagles fan, but do I think that Jason Peters is a Pro-Bowler? NO. I’m not saying he isn’t a decent player, but he’s not a Pro-Bowler.

Vick has taken a beating all year, and he only got his shot because Kolb was concussed right in front of Peters. But, Peters held out in Buffalo, forced a trade, raised the salary structure for all, so he gets the nod from the players.

Where the talent level is close, the players vote for the guys that help them financially. (Didn’t think this was Jason Witten’s year either, but he’s Dallas’ Union Rep……)

Just sayin’.

Also, His 7 games have been beastly (even if no one deserves a Pro-Bowl spot for 7 games)

It’s just funny how successful the Patriots have been since he returned to the lineup. They lost to Cleveland his first game back and since have won 7 straight. During that time Brady was able set a record for pass attempts without an interception.

Coincidence?

Tru Dat!
