Basically, the point is to get selected, fly to Hawaii and party. On game day you’ll take lots of pictures, hang out with the guys, get in for a couple series and pray to god you don’t get injured. Then you’ll celebrate again that night, and keep your fingers crossed that your odds just went up to return next year. Who knows, maybe your net worth even goes up a bit.

Others may argue that the point is to be a part of that year’s “Dream Team,” but really…it’s not.

Let’s be honest, does anyone really even care about the watching the Pro Bowl anymore? The only thing I really care about is seeing who gets selected. It’s a fun game to watch, but no one is playing at 100%, and there is no real passion as far as rivalries and playoff hopes go.

On that note, who do we care about this year?

NFC:   Kurt Warner (AZ)- is he really better than Eli Manning? It’s a close call, but I’d

                                      much rather see a Manning bros showdown!

            Anquan Boldin (AZ)- sorry Anquan, but I like Roddy White better, he should be

                                       the starter not the backup. And where's Greg Jennings??

            Julius Peppers (Carolina)- love love love him! If I were a QB, he is one of the

                                       last guys I would ever want in my face. Come to GB Peppers!

            Charles Woodson and Nick Collins- obvious choices with each of them racking

                                      up 5 interceptions so far this season.

            Jared Allen (MN)- no offense, but I would have gone with John Abraham (ATL)

AFC:  Brett Favre - there’s no denying he’s done great things for the Jets… but is his

                                   Reserve selection because he was better this year than guys like                

                                   Roethlisberger, Rivers, and Cassel? Or is this an experience/legend pick?

            Ronnie Brown (MIA)- good player, but where’s Marshawn Lynch or Steve Slaton?

            Joey Porter (MIA)- his defensive skills helped keep Miami in the game this year

            Joe Thomas (Browns)- fantastic rookie year…Go UW!

            Ed Reed (Ravens) and Troy Polamalu (Steelers)- best choices across the board

Any opinions? Do you guys really follow the Pro Bowl? Anyone else you thought should have made the lineup?
