True. But look at how many points the Cowboys have scored compared to the Redskins.

Antonio Pierce is overrated, he hasnt lived up to his expectation since he left washington...

I cried with tears of joy just now when I heard that Taylor had made the Pro Bowl. Just when you think that mankind has compleetly gone to shit, they do something honorable like this to redeem themselves.

So wait...Doesn't taylor's death qualify as an injury or event beyond control...


Who do the redskins send? I hope its landry.

Edit: be it portis or Landry...one of them should wear the number 21.

i have to agree with you giantone, Antonio Pierce is a fine middle linebacker. haven't seen enough of his play this year to know if he is more deserving then Fletcher. anyone feel like comparing the 2's stats?

Fletcher: 5th in the NFL with 120 tackles

Pierce: 33rd in the NFL with 89 tackles.

Nuff said.

thanks Matty. it seems like Fletcher is very deserving. i wonder why he didn't get the love?

[12thMan]

not that it matters, but I think mr. portis will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder for that last game v. dallas.

I thought it should have been Fletcher and Willis, but Tatupu is a good player. That Fletcher was only a third alternate is kind of ridiculous. I don't know that anyone on the Skins, beyond maybe Sellers, is a major league snub. As everyone in the world has pointed out, the guys who got jobbed were Marques Colston, Fred Taylor, and Mario Williams. Plaxico Burress, Ernest Graham, and Joey Galloway probably also deserved some serious consideration.

Every year when the Pro Bowl is announced people ask why they don't push the voting back to the end of the season. I assume it is mostly about marketing and probably won't change, but the NFL really should push the voting back. If you are going to continue letting fans vote then push fan voting back to weeks 14-17 (rather than starting in October) and let the players vote the last week of the season. Won't happen so whatever. The real problem is that then you get to HOF balloting and Pro Bowls are used as part of the justification for enshrinement.

I'm shocked that Fred Taylor has never been named to the Pro Bowl. He's certainly had some worthy seasons.

Im glad Sellers and Cartwright got some recognition.

[MTK]

I'm just glad Cooley is finally getting his due recognition. I was concerned that Shockey might win out on name alone.
