    The Patriots knob-slobbing continues.

    Did any one else notice that the Patriots 27th ranked defense fielded more defensive players to the Pro Bowl than any other team?


    HOW THE HELL.....does Brandon Merriweather make the Pro Bowl over Micheal Griffin???

    Brandon Merriweather:.....67 Tackles....3 Interceptions....0 forced fumbles
    Michael Griffin:............. 103 Tackles....4 Interceptions....2 forced fumbles


    I stand by my premise that there are three types of sportwriters:
    1) A handful who are actually capable of independant thought...(Len Pasquarelli)
    2) A larger group of self proclaimed "sound-byte" experts who vomit popular opinion...(Jason La Canfora)
    3) And the remaining thousands who just read what others have already written and hurriedly regurgitate someone elses stories with their own minor additions, because they are too damn lazy to do their own research. (Mark Madden)

    I could not agree with you more.

    Merriweather got in the ProBowl as consolation for being fined. Good-hell had to "fix" it somehow.

    Meh... who cares? The Probowl is a joke. It's meaningless. If the players had the say in who goes, I'd give it a lot more credence.

    I thought Darren McFadden should have gone too. Oh well, I won't lose any sleep over it.

    Nobody except friends and relatives watches that game anyway. It is completely meaningless and over-hyped choreography.

    Shame is ESPN is wasting Shefter. You have to pay to see most of his content online and he makes rare appearances on tv, NFLN showcased the guy everynight

    No doubt McFadden has been great this year, RB is one tough position to get in the probowl in the AFC. Maybe he had a better year than drew , I'm sure there was some name recognition going on there.

    The prow bowl is an absolute joke! This "all star" is not really an all star game but a popularity contest where bad players get recognitions they don't deserve over much better players

    As long as our HC isn't coaching the AFC in the Pro Bowl...all is good.
