I got fed up with the way players are selected and stopped voting a couple years back.
I may do 1 token vote for those I feel truly worthy. Sad part is that no one watches the game these days.

And even more sad is the guys that get voted that don't go, just because they don't WANT to. If it's a valid reason, like an injury that hasn't healed, i don't mind. But the guys that are healthy SHOULD make the effort to go. The fans deserve to get to see the people they vote in actually play.
Otherwise, whats the point of even having a pro-bowl?

Those that do go just sort of go thru the motions. They are mainly out there for the sun and surf. I understand them not wanting to get hurt but it is not a real football game.

I agree, You'd say it'd be a thing on honor. You're the best of the best. Just go there, please the fans, and have a fun time n Hawa while you're at it.

And to the tampering with votes. These people are screwing it up for themselfs. If they keep going like this, it might just become a Pro Bowl withouth the public voting and a selection by a couple of experts.

I asume they take out the bad players anyway. Reminds me of another forum, where everyone turned a Bernard Pollard fan after he injured Tom Brady.... I wonder if they found enough idiots to get him into the pro bowl.

Yea, if that many skins actually get selected, the NFL will just eliminate the importance of the fan vote. So we can now officially thank Redskins fans for ruining are part in picking the pro bowl teams.
