If there was something opposite of a pro bowl, such as a suck bowl, Allen Barbre would be the leading vote getter for sure.

I vote for people who deserve to get in. With a slight bias towards Packers player, of course.

Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, Cullen Jenkins, Clay Matthews, Al Harris and Charles Woodson. I think that that are the guys I've voted for on the Packers squad.

While I can sympathize with Wade and 93z.. I have to respectfully disagree.

Lets boil this down to the reason the NFL has a Pro Bowl. It has zero implications on the NFL preseason, season, or post season (MLB has it's All Star game to determine which league gets home field advantage).. So, I ask.. What is the reasoning behind it? Do players get THAT much of a monetary bonus for going/playing/being MVP? I don't think they do.. especially since there have been scores of players recently that decline the invitation (Brady/Moss).

The Pro Bowl is exactly what Wade and 93z claim it as.. A popularity contest. Ultimately, we the fans/consumers are the ones that determine how popular the game itself is.. Therefore, we the fans should have a say in who we want to see play. Regardless of which player 'deserves' it. If people/NFL players/media want to see Favre in the Pro Bowl, deserving or not, then so be it. If it's what the majority wants..

I'd be upset too, if the game actually had any serious implications to the season, about the popularity/beauty contest that the voting is. But, it's not important. It's fun/entertaining.

And more football. And I can't turn down more football.

Ok. You make a case for having such popularity contests. (I disagree about the value, but that's me.)

But WHY does the voting have to start in week 7? WHY does it have to be done before the end of the season at all? Why not simply run it for the first three weeks in January? I mean, it's not like [strike]top[/strike] most popular NFL Players have to get a buy-long-in-advance discount fare to be able to afford a trip to Hawaii.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

beast (13h) : I was kind of hoping Douglas might come back to the Pack
beast (13h) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*
dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
