Not to belittle the Vikings at all but the Pro Bowl is officially meaningless.

No Jags on the team.  Fred Taylor has never made it.  What is he, #8 on the all-time rushing list?  The only guy in the top 40-50 of that list to never make the Pro Bowl.  Also in the top five in yards per carry I think.  (Going off recent reading, perhaps not exact but close.)

And supposedly this is all because Del Rio didn't/wouldn't campaign for his players.  Too much else on his mind - like steamrolling into the playoffs with all pistons firing.

Pro Bowl == Academy Awards.

ding ding ding we have a winner. I read this yesterday:

http://myespn.go.com/prof.../hashmarks?tag=pro%20bowl

Basically stating the same as UB. While there are definitely deserving players voted to these all-star games, typically they seem to be popularity contests.

Congrats to the Jags as well. They have a lot of momentum going right now.

Henderson deserves to start, he's been lights-out this year, and is a big reason for the success of the run defense. The Williams Wall doesn't hurt though. Grin
