    nobody can say Champ Bailey doesn't deserve a Pro Bowl, he is great even though my Broncos are not that good this year. you can't deny a top 3 player in the league.

    You can deny him because he hasn't played well this year. Neither champ or Dre Bly have played up to their potential.

    Just because he's an amazing player doesnt mean every year will be his year. This clearly wasn't.

    The Pro Bowl voting is fan driven , so it's just a popularity contest. The real one is the All-Pro selections done by the players themselves. If a player is popular in a city, then he's going to get lots of votes even if he hasn't played that well or has been injured for a few games. It's aways been that way. Nothing new.

    How about Bryant McKinnie of the Vikings. Him and Steve Hutchinson are the main reasons Adrian Peterson is a Pro Bowler and Chester Taylor's been doing so well too. He and Hutch are the Walter Jones and Hutch that led Shaun Alexander to MVP.

      Adrian have have made it anyway. The guy is an animal that gets stronger as the game goes on. I had the pleasure of watching him at OU for 3 years. He can run behind any damn offensive line; even the Little Sisters of the Poor.

      I would send Matt Birk before McKinnie. He's a good guy, but he has had a less than spectacular year.

    How didn't WR Brandon Marshall of the Broncos not get a bid...T.J. Houshmandzadeh gets one and Marshall is the #7 receiver in the NFL right now in yards..T.J. as a background WR to ocho cinco gets one..and a 2nd year kid who replaced an injured javon walker gets nuthing..?...SNUB

      as a Broncos fan, i couldn't agree more. Marshall is having an outstanding season. i also like your pic of D-Will too, fez9184.

    The biggest snub is clearly Derek Anderson. He has made a playoff contender out of the Browns. What more does the guy need to do? Sure, Roethlisberger is have a pretty good year. But, Anderson is doing so much better on a team without the pedigree.

      If his fans would have supported him and filled out ballots , he would have had a chance. That's just the way it is with the Pro Bowl voting. Fans have too big a say, but it's fans' fun bowl, so that's the way the ball bounces.

        I voted for him plenty of times... So, don't go pointing the finger at me...

    trent cole has to be in the top 5 on the snub list. he is undersized and is stil 3rd in the league in sacks.

    Hell, what about Mario Williams? They guy has like 13 or 14 sacks and has been an animal the last two months and didn't make it, not even as a reserve.
