He leads the league in INT's.Let me be the first to say, how the hell is Brett Favre on this roster?
I'd say he's more deserving than Eli Manning but I agree Favre is a suspect choice.Let me be the first to say, how the hell is Brett Favre on this roster?

How did he not make it - I thought he was a shoo-in.John Abraham was snubbed.
Seriously - Slaton so deserved it more.Ronnie Brown?
I was just about to post that. How did Ronnie Brown make it?Ronnie Brown?
Huge games like the one he had against New England tend to stick in the minds of voters. Slaton obviously should have made it over him.Ronnie Brown?
And MJDSuprised to see LT didn't make it. Not that I think he should but I figured he would get in as a legacy case.Seriously - Slaton so deserved it more.Ronnie Brown?
Just one a many reasons why Pro Bowl voting is a joke. It's done way to early.Poor DeAngalo Williams. He is 4th in the NFL in rushing, first in YPC with an obscene 5.5, 2nd in rushing touchdowns with 14, first in total TDs with 16, and he didn't make it. Ouch.But as always, fast starters always get the nod over those who start slow and finish strong.
Seriously why the rush? Does the NFL have to reserve rooms in Hawaii before Christmas or something?Just one a many reasons why Pro Bowl voting is a joke.

Rivers getting left off might be the biggest snub of all time. Favre my ###
Ernster getting snubbed this year is even worse.Rivers getting left off might be the biggest snub of all time. Favre my ###
F'real?Over Steve Slaton? pppfffffffffffafadfftttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.edit: didn't read thread to see that I'm not alone on this one.Ronnie Brown?
One of the glaring snubs that nobody has mentioned yet. How about the guy in the AFC who leads in TD receptions not making it. Moss didn't have a Moss-like year, but still he should have been in the Pro Bowl seeing how the other AFC WRs ended up this year.Reggie Wayne/Marshall over Wes Welker...meh. Just no recievers in the AFC really lighting it up. Marshall was suspended for 2 games, no? Don't like suspended players being rewarded with ProBowls...*cough* Steve Smith.Clark got the snub job by the "name player" in Gates. Has that guy helped his team win even 1 game this season? Not that I can remember. Where Dallas has been a HUGE piece of nearly every Colt win. Gates is having a real Bo-Scaife-like season....yeah, that's ProBowl worthy!
I'd vote Manning the starter, but Rivers is clearly 2nd.Rivers getting left off might be the biggest snub of all time. Favre my ###Not only should Favre not have made it ahead of him, no AFC QB should have made it ahead of him, Manning and Cutler included. Rivers should be the AFC starter.

the td's must have got him in.As a Packer fan, I'm not sure I'd consider Nick Collins as a Pro Bowl player.

Rivers was probably hurt by his team's record, as well as the fact that he is a bit of a punk who appears to be disliked by a lot of players and fans.Rivers getting left off might be the biggest snub of all time. Favre my ###Not only should Favre not have made it ahead of him, no AFC QB should have made it ahead of him, Manning and Cutler included. Rivers should be the AFC starter.
If they did, he'd probably catch it and take it to the house.Calvin Johnson has been the best wide receiver in the NFL this season. It's not his fault he plays for the Lions. Throw the guy a bone.
Why should he deserve it over a possession receiver?One of the glaring snubs that nobody has mentioned yet. How about the guy in the AFC who leads in TD receptions not making it. Moss didn't have a Moss-like year, but still he should have been in the Pro Bowl seeing how the other AFC WRs ended up this year.No way shouldn't Moss have made it over Welker and his 2 TDs and 10 yards-per-catch. I don't like Moss, but he is much more deserving than a possession receiver like Welker.
Tied for NFC lead for INTs (with Woodson and Tramon Williams interstingly), has 65 tackles and scored three times.Still has some mental lapses, but this year he made a pretty big step up. A work in progress, but the guy plays every week.No problem with it.the td's must have got him in.As a Packer fan, I'm not sure I'd consider Nick Collins as a Pro Bowl player.
Because he is better and so were his stats.Why should he deserve it over a possession receiver?One of the glaring snubs that nobody has mentioned yet.

Moss didn't have a Moss-like year, but still he should have been in the Pro Bowl seeing how the other AFC WRs ended up this year.No way shouldn't Moss have made it over Welker and his 2 TDs and 10 yards-per-catch. I don't like Moss, but he is much more deserving than a possession receiver like Welker.
Did they give up when they realized their team was 7-7?Doesn't look like that Redskins issue (where fan balloting had 20 Redskins leading in votes as starters) impacted the final rosters. Odd.
hahaNo doubt... he had that uncanny ability to kick the ball away from even the best returners in the league... oh wait... I mean he couldn't kick it far enough FOR them to return it. He's pretty good at directional kicking... directly out of bounds that is!!Ernster getting snubbed this year is even worse.Rivers getting left off might be the biggest snub of all time. Favre my ###
He has had Reggie Bush in the backfield for a majority of the season and a surging Pierre Thomas lately. Warner has had Tim Hightower and an over-the-hill Edgerrin James. Case closed.How is Brees not the starter??? He played half the year with backup WR's and may break Marino's passing record... talk about a snub... He doesn't have Fitz and Boldin to throw to...
