    You might consider organizing your closet as a priority over watching the game, as I do.

    I also need to check the air in my tires and clean out the glove compartment. But damn... those red and green outfits are so damned good-looking...

    Not to be a downer, but in my opinion, the Pro-bowl is one of the biggest jokes in all of professional sports. First of all, the way the particapants are selected makes a mockery of the cherished principles of logic. Secondly, defenses aren't allowed to blitz the opposing quarterbacks and "rough" tackling is penalized. Thus, it's NOT A REAL football game. It's an exhibition. The reason for this is obvious and clearly illustrates why having an all-star exhibition game in a CONTACT sport makes absolutely no sense. Because in CONTACT sports, players get injured with alarming frequency and it's utterly RIDICULOUS to put the best players in a contact sport at unnecessary risk once a year in a meaningless game. Case closed.

    So no, I will not be watching the pro-bowl. (And just for the record, I LOVE football. It's easily my favorite sport. I live and die for the NFL. But the Pro-bowl is a joke)

    Well, Favre will be there. That tells you all you need to know.

    I might tune in to keep track of the INTs he throws to the NFC. Gotta get me one of those counter thingies that you hold in your hand and push the button.

    I might watch it if Favre does not go, the fact that he is in it makes it a SHAM!

    I got excited by the Pro Bowl for the final time when I was 9 years old. I thought it was cool to see all the different helmets on the field at one time. By age 10, I had had enough.

    Faneca is a starter and Jenkins is a 2nd string, I never said he was going to start. Mangold is actually a #2 but with Mawae OUT he will start.

    I have an interesting question: If Rex Ryan loses tomorrow, then is hired by the Jets, would he still coach the defense in the Pro Bowl? Hmm.

    That was my thinking. He could be on a team that has 6 players playing from his new team.

    I want Revis to get a pick. That would be sweet.

    My excitement for the Pro-Bowl is about one notch above getting a Herpes flare-up.

    Ooo ooo. . . .I forgot. The Pro Bowl!!


    I'm definitely going to have to not do one of the twelve other things I was going to do just on the off-chance I find myself in front of a television and there are no Facts of Life reruns on.

    Are you sure there are no Facts of Life reruns on? I'd double check.

    I might watch some to see our players. Usually I just watch teh highlights.

    Next year it will be better with the Probowl prior to the SB.
