Vikings have 11 players in the top spot in Pro Bowl voting. Ridiculous.

Good for them! They'll be paying through the nose to retain these players in coming months. 😃

That's awesome.

If I were GM.. TRADEBAIT.

At least, that's how I can churn out Super Bowl victory after Super Bowl victory in Madden.. I don't even play the games, either.

No, it's not.

In the AFC, people are pretty honest in filling out the roster spots.

In the NFC, the Vikings are this years' Redskins.

I think it's a disgrace.

Shut down fan voting, if you ask me.

I'd rather have the entire starting NFC lineup consist of Vikings, while our guys are relaxing and drinking maitais. Let the Vikings absorb the exorbitant costs of paying for Pro Bowlers.

And I'd just like to enjoy a Pro Bowl where I can see the best players in the league play a nice game of football. Just without thinking about the finances for five seconds.

I want to see Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, Nick Collins etc. get what they deserve.

Do you really think that these players wouldn't want any money if they didn't go to a Pro Bowl? I'm pretty sure that we've paid Rodgers big time, already, and that Nick Collins will want a big deal regardless of another Pro Bowl selection.

On the other side, maybe this can get us players. If you see that a team has quite some individual talent, you're more likely to join them. If we get a great speaker like Rodgers over there, he can do some of that recruiting that everyone was so high about last year.

Looking at the numbers and the impact players have had I think Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, and Nick Collins are solid for the Pro Bowl. Assuming they carry, two free safties? Darren Sharper will start for the NFC for sure.

Ryan Pickett is a Pro Bowl worthy player this year, but the tackle position is four-deep in the NFC. I would put Darnell Docket, Kevin Williams, and Jay Ratliff as the three NFC guys. Pat Williams would be the top alternate. Pickett the 2nd if they have one.

Donald Driver has a outside chance at making it because he's the most popular Packer player and the fans will come out and vote for him. He's also been solid this year, but DeSean Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald, Miles Austin, Margues Colston, Steve Smith, and Sidney Rice are probably ahead of him.

I'm not sold on Austin though, but Dallas fans always get their guy in.

The last guy that I think has as solid as a chance at making it is Clay Matthews. There are no Pro Bowl worthy outside linebackers in the NFC this year. Ware's numbers have fallen and Lance Briggs hasn't been that great this year. Honestly, I fill out the Pro Bowl ballot not as a fan, but as who deserves to go, and Clay Matthews was on my ballot.

If I had to guess right now, Green Bay would send four to the Pro Bowl this year with Driver as an alternate.
