Don Banks pens a nice piece on the guys being overlooked for the Pro Bowl. At the top of the list of guys I feel sorry for is Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. With a name like that playing in Oakland, he could be the next coming of Darrell Green and no one would notice.
Here's the list of eight (Eight? What the hell? Why not 10? Why not randomly add two guys? We can't have Top 8 lists, Don. You're upsetting the balance of the universe) from Banks with my speculation as to why they got overlooked:
1. Nnamdi Asomugha
2. Brian Westbrook - Anti-scatback contingent.
3. Mike Vrabel - Voters too busy praying for St. Bruschi.
4. Pacman Jones - Blatantly idiotic jerks don't fare well in elections, unless they have some powerful fathers. Jones will learn from this. He'll still be the same guy, but will begin to give all praise and glory to Jesus Christ in every interview and start heading to Hawaii every year.
5. Kelly Gregg - Voters too busy praying with Ray Lewis.
6. Marcus McNeill - Anti-rookie contingent kept him out. Pay your dues! You're lucky to be here!
7. Lee Evans - People are still under the impression that J.P. Losman can't throw, so how could his receiver belong in the Pro Bowl?
8. Sean Jones - The opposite problem that Asomugha has. With personalities like Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu in the AFC at safety, Jones needs a nickname or something. Too bad Pacman is already taken. I'm thinking Frogger Jones.
