Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando I've been looking at the Pro Bowl results and trying to make sense of them. The Jaguars have 10 victories but zero Pro Bowl players. The Cowboys have 12 victories and 11 Pro Bowl players. Something isn't adding up here. If the results are accurate or even close to accurate, or if they indicate in any way the overall talent level of teams, we might be able ...

In keeping with our continued quest to disseminate facts instead of reckless opinion, we bring you more data about whether or not the SEC really is better than the rest of college football. If the Pro Bowl represents the best of the NFL (or at least the most popular players), than what better way to get a glimpse at how the conferences have matriculated to the rosters.

At this point, everyone should know that the Pro Bowl is just a popularity contest. Maybe it isn’t as bad the NBA, NHL or MLB, but it still seems to select multiple players each year based on reputation alone. With all this said, the Denver Broncos got pretty much what they deserved from their mediocre 2007 campaign when it comes to the Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl rosters were released yesterday and not a single Lion is listed on the NFC team. No players were voted to be a starter and none were selected as reserves. Even though it may seem pretty surprising for a team that was once 6-2 to have zero players in the Pro Bowl, I can't say that I disagree with that fact. The Lions are on the verge of losing their 7th straight game, ...FOUR BEARS SELECTED TO 2008 PRO BOWL

The Lions have been shut out of this year’s Pro Bowl. Rosters were selected by a combination of fans, players and coaches and were announced yesterday. The last time the Lions were not represented in the annual NFC-AFC contest was in 2003.

I don’t know how to exactly sum up my philosophy on the Pro Bowl, but my thoughts are that it’s basically a popularity contest … so having Jets players not go doesn’t really mean a lot to me. That being said, would I prefer for my favorite team to get some national recognition for their play? Definitely. Knowing that, the Jets were told that three of their players ...What a Joke: Dissecting the Pro Bowl Rosters

On a day just two removed from the Bucs winning the NFC South, they have zero players elected to the pro bowl. Are you kidding me?

Seven Patriots will be starting, and eight will be going to the Pro Bowl this year. Maybe that's premature. Anywhere from 20 to 40% of the players selected don't show due to injury or apathy. Hopefully the Patriots will be coming off a massive celebration when its Pro Bowl time. There is one Patriot who you'd expect to see, but who is not on the roster.

Our pal Clark Judge of CBSSports.com would have you believe that Jack Del Rio and Jon Gruden must be great coaches , because they're taking teams without any Pro Bowl players to the playoffs.

In the argument of which division is the worst in the NFL, we've got a pretty clear argument that the NFC South is the worst of the worst. When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced, not one player from an NFC South team was honored. Hey, the NFC West may be bad, but it did place eight players in the Pro Bowl. The NFL effectively announced today that the NFC South is devoid of stars. It's hard ...Patriots send 8 to the Pro Bowl

The New England Patriots are sending 8 members of their team to the Pro Bowl this season. This is the most since 1985, when they also sent 8 players to the Pro Bowl.
