Sullivan is not a good pass blocker all the time but a great run blocker.

Charles Johnson and Chris Clemons had great seasons … yet no.69 (who was shut down by Marshall Newhouse of all people) is in the pro bowl… no complaints or whining about that.

I think people are too hard on the Probowl. Look, the players don’t play hard and the game is kind of neutered. But people still watch it. Players still have fun with the festivities and what not. And I’m of the opinion that bad football is better than no football.

Goodell should just accept that guys aren’t going full speed and not worry about it. This is an exhibition game. And regardless of how silly the game might be, there will still be a few players going hard.

I’ll be tuning into the beginning of it just to see All Day bust open one last run for the season. You know he’ll be going full speed.

Face it folks, the Pro Bowl is entertainment; mainly for the players who have played their hearts out all season. It is an opportunity for them to have some fun and for the fans to observe them having a good time. I watch it for the entertainment value and to see my favorite players enjoying themselves. If you are looking for more than that, then I would suggest watching a rerun episode of your favorite TV show.

John Sullivan deserved to be there! Jeff Saturday didn’t even start for his own team.

not true, 56. linemen have individual stats, like sacks given up, penalties against, etc. plus, blocking for a runningback who almost breaks the all time record means something. but like its been stated before, the fact that Sullivan isn’t going is a slap in the face. especially when writers from Pft and Bleacher report are calling him the best center in the NFL.

So how many players actually selected to the Pro Bowl are actually going? And how many are replacements? This is a meaningless joke especially when held before the Super Bowl.

He’ll hardly get there in time for the game for cripes sake.

The pro bowls pretty much a popularity contest anyways, but the selecting of offensive lineman is the worst. The average fan has no idea how to gauge the performance of an OL. They just vote for a player on their team or some name they just happen to recognize. I’d say it’s much more of an honor being selected as a replacement than from fan voting.

This is just one more notch for Speilman who right now is running Ted Thompson over, KUDOS to Speilman.

They ought to have a Pro Bowl awards ceremony, and watch highlights. Then the next couple days they should run a football camp for disadvantaged kids. It would mean a lot more than it does today.

“How was your Pro Bowl experience, Matt?”

“Unnhh…kinda belated, actually. Not what I expected..”.

He deserves it, but this game is a joke. He isn’t even going to practice. And everyone knows John Sullivan should have been there too.
