Fred Taylor: Pro Bowl Bound after all...

Arrowhead Pride: Front Page Posts found this 12/21/2007 on www.bigcatcountry.com [flag]

In what can only be described as a terrible way to go to Hawaii, Fred Taylor will in fact be in this year's Pro Bowl. Willie Parker broke his fibula against the Rams tonight, which should mean that he stays home for the Pro Bowl. Fred, as the first alternate, joins Greg Jones, who's also going to the Pro Bowl as an alternate due to a leg injury. It seems pretty weird that all of a sudden ... [link]

Fred Taylor and Mario Williams can present a compelling case as to why they should be invited to the Pro Bowl, but their reasons to don't hold a candle to these girls.

The NFL released the Pro Bowl Rosters for the 2007 season, and the big surprise is the late Sean Taylor being named in the NFC. This is an honor he deserved and must bring a lot of joy to both his family and the Washington Redskins faithful.

Jaguars Pro Bowl snub is not the end of the world, but don't tell the fans

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 10-4, playoff bound, and playing some of the best football in the league. When Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday, no Jags made the final cut. In the realm of who cares, this ranks at or near the top, but some fans are still irate.

RaiderSithLord posted 12/20/2007 from mvn.com

Nnamdi Asomugha was not named to the AFC Pro-Bowl team yesterday. Well, he is the second alternate, but he should have been a lock to be on the team. He didn’t have the stats that he had in his break out season last year, but he had his receiver on lockdown every game. Given that he can void the last year of his contract after this season, it is imperative for the Raiders to lock him up.

Pro Bowl Snubs? Not for Broncos

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. Champ Bailey is the best corner in the NFL. ...
