LOL! Not from this thread, I would have to disagree.

Exactly, but yet people are arguing such. And all I'm saying is, he made it. Case closed.

The fact is, if they use INTs alone to select cornerbacks to Pro Bowls, then apparently D. Hall qualified with whatever numbers he had. I'm not arguing whether or not that's fair, right, or should be changed. I'm just saying, he made it based on whatever criteria needed to be satisfied. And if the end, they selected him going the any, meny, miny, moe route, then whatever, he's still a Pro Bowler.

Your problem seems to be with that, though I think that's a really silly thing to be worked up about: people not caring that Hall was elected to the pro bowl. Maybe next year, I can prepare to be really excited for the Redskins pro bowlers. I don't think it's going to happen though.

Well, geez, go back and re-read the thread, because apparently there are people here who are really worked up over the fact that he did make it to the pro bowl. It's not all one-sided Tripp. If I get worked up it's over the constant complaining, in general. If the 'skins win, they don't win by enough points, if they lose, let's tear the whole team apart and start over after one year. We need a veteran QB, no we need a rookie QB, etc.... don't get me wrong, I welcome different points of view. I just feel that whether if one agrees or not, let's be happy that there are some positive things to cheer about with this team. Hall, Fletcher, and Orakpo making the Pro Bowl is a positive thing.
