It’s called fan voting dude. Most just want to see people from their home team. By the way not one of Drew Bress’ WR’s made it because none of them are having a great year compaired to the ones who made the roster. He does FAR too good of a job spredding the ball to all of his recevers that they are all good and not one is far better than the others. Do you see what I’m saying? Also, once again its fan voting some just vote for the big name.
Wow…the top-rated QB in the entire NFL, Drew Brees gets NONE of his WRs to the Pro Bowl. Third most yards passing. Will Smith with 12.5 sacks at DE and doesn’t make the Pro Bowl? I guess 13-2 isn’t good enough. Yet the 11-4 Vikings, who lose 3 of their last 4, send EIGHT players? Still no respect for the Saints. Doesn’t matter, the Saints will be there, but they won’t be available to play. They’ll be busy preparing for the REAL GAME, SB44.
