right?

We have backups replacing backups…players that aren’t pro bowl caliber players like the Jacksonville QB starting in the Pro Bowl….What a mess the NFL has done with this. This will probably be the last time we see the Pro Bowl the week before the Super Bowl because the best players aren’t even playing…..its a joke to the fans and more of a joke to the players. Goodell really screwed the pooch on this one….

because nobody gives a sh!t. :)

It’s gonna totally kill the “made the pro bowl” stat.

Even though Romo should’ve clearly been first alternate as well as Jenkins before Newman. I guess it worked out in the end

I was #1 on the We Hate Jenkins bandwagon last season, and didn’t think he had the toughness to play in the NFL. I love being wrong!!

And deserved for both guys. Even though the Pro Bowl doesn’t mean much, it still goes down on the resume.

First of many more for Jenkins.

without actually playing a game. Baseball, basketball and hockey all star games are different, those games aren’t as violent and brutal where you need a complete week to fully recover like you do from a football game.

I like the fact our coaching staff, Romo, and eight other Dallas Cowboys are going to be in Miami at the Pro Bowl a week before the Superbowl. Hear me out, they will be there with the after thought players while most of the National Press are camped out at Miami’s Airport and Convention Center awaiting the arrival of the Colts and Saints. Basically, our boys can experience the bitter pill of being "Bride’s Maids" this season by playing in the stadium a week before the big game while it is filled to 1/2-2/3 capacity. Whatever the media coverage is of the game, it will be focused on the players who aren’t playing in the game. Furthermore, look at it as another opportunity for the Romo, Witten, and Austin to continue to work on their timing with each other, while at the same time our coaching staff can scout the non-Cowboys players on the NFC team (during practice), liked Wade hinted at last week. Also, they can scout some of the AFC South Players (including Dallas Clark, who is participating) during the game to get a feel for what some of their strengths and weaknesses. This might be a stretch, however, this should serve as added motivation going into next season.

There is a good chance that more fans will tune in the week before football then do in February. Some of my casual football friends that only watch a few playoff games and then the SB will be tuning in this week because this is the one month they watch football.

If the ratings are good we will see more of this in the future.

dallas clark is still playing in the probowl haha too funny

Now have to show up in Miami a day before the rest of their teams, and take part in the PR stuff and be introduced at the game, but none of them will be actually playing in the game.

Still, kind of a dumb and unnecessary interruption when so much is at stake. I think this will be the first and last time the Pro Bowl is sandwiched between Championship weekend and the Super Bowl.
