Title: Re: Hey Torpedo Post by: Uisce Beatha on December 19, 2007, 07:29:34 AM Not to belittle the Vikings at all but the Pro Bowl is officially meaningless.
No Jags on the team. Fred Taylor has never made it. What is he, #8 on the all-time rushing list? The only guy in the top 40-50 of that list to never make the Pro Bowl. Also in the top five in yards per carry I think. (Going off recent reading, perhaps not exact but close.) And supposedly this is all because Del Rio didn't/wouldn't campaign for his players. Too much else on his mind - like steamrolling into the playoffs with all pistons firing. Pro Bowl == Academy Awards.

I read this yesterday: http://myespn.go.com/profile/hashmarks?tag=pro%20bowl Basically stating the same as UB. While there are definitely deserving players voted to these all-star games, typically they seem to be popularity contests. Congrats to the Jags as well. They have a lot of momentum going right now.

[sm_thumbsup] Guess I needed to do a few more for T.Jack. ;) Next year. ;D Title: Re: Hey Torpedo Post by: Torpedo on December 19, 2007, 01:02:17 PM Henderson deserves to start, he's been lights-out this year, and is a big reason for the success of the run defense. The Williams Wall doesn't hurt though. ;D
