OK... I'm floored by the number of Q of the D comments and I haven't had time to sift through yet. I'm sure you'll have more about the Pro Bowl picks. That's 11 Cowboys, 7 Vikings (really??), 5 Seahawks, 4 Packers and 4 Bears.
Who got screwed? Strahan, I'd say -- honestly, I thought he deserved it more than Osi because No. 92 has been a beast against the run and pass this year. And Shawn Andrews over Snee? Don't think so.
Plax also got royally boned here... Torry Holt? Huh? T.O., Driver and Fitzgerald all have a case to be there. So does Greg Jennings, so does Bobby Engram. But, as one clever Giant pointed out to me, "You don't game plan for Engram, you don't game plan for Jennings. You game plan for Plax."
The biggest snub has to be Nick Barnett of the Pack. Guy's an absolute monster. Patrick Willis is going to be a heck of a player, but making 900 tackles doesn't mean you're the best at your position.

For some reason I thought they sent four DEs but I must have been mistaken. I'm guessing Cole from Philly was the first alternate? I hope not since he isnt even in the same league as a 36 year old Strahan, but I cant think of anyone else off the top of my head.
Wow that is pretty intresting, 11 cowboys, 7 viking...and so on
M. Hedgecock should of went to the pro bowl this year, he was an excellent pick up, and really deserves to go
Though for sure Stranhan would of got it
Suprised to see S. Taylor's name still up there
How does Feagles not make the Pro Bowl? The guy has been THE BEST punter for as long as I remember.
