    I agree with most of the picks. Wes Walker should have made the team. Also, this year i would have selected Dallas Clark at the other tight end position in the AFC over Gonzalez, and Derek Anderson over Ben Roethisberger.

2008 Pro Bowl Rosters Announced: Adrian Peterson, Ben Roethlisberger Mark Some of the 1st Time Selections
FanIQ Blog — The 2008 Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, take a look. Naturally, it's the snub list that always draws the most attention when discussing the Pro Bowl which is often more entertaining than the game itself. One glowing name missing: Fred Taylor. It appears his 10 extra votes weren't good enough. Other names being thrown out as snubs: Wes Welker, Jason Peters, Fred Taylor, David Garrard, Greg Jennings, Marques Colston, Nick Barnett and Charles Woodson. On a positive note, it's great to see rookies Adrian Peterson and Patrick Willis in the mix. Future offensive and defensive MVPs for sure. We'll talk more about this I'm sure, but what are your initial reactions. ...

How Do You Say 'Pointless' In Hawai'ian?
Rumors and Rants — I'll just come straight out and ask: why does the NFL release the Pro Bowl rosters two weeks before the season ends? Save it, wise-guy commenter, we all realize there's probably some logistical nightmare of a reason behind this, but it still doesn't make the regular kind of sense. There's simply no need to tell everyone on December 18th who will start the Pro Bowl game in February. After all, this isn't baseball. The game doesn't happen at mid-season. The NFL is wasting our time with this meaningless announcement. First, the most obvious reason: there's two freaking games left! Not only that, but since it's the last weeks of the season, the games matter quite a bit more, especially for the teams ...

Is Taylor the biggest Pro Bowl snub ever?Jacksonville Jaguars
As Tim said, relax, breathe and enjoy the rest of the season, it’s not a travesty that no Jaguar was voted to the Pro Bowl.
