I'll take baseball over the NFL any day.... when it comes to choosing all-stars

Because people don't like him? Still think he's arrogant and still want to punish him?

 

Which explains why Ray Lewis made it again, I guess?

I honestly don't give a shit, but I was pretty surprised, because Winslow has put up big numbers.

 

Actually, I would say the fans' vote didn't factor in this much (according to the NFL rules, it is actually only 1/3 of the formula). Take Eric Steinbach ... he had the seventh-highest total of ALL AFC players, but didn't get selected.

 

FAAAAAANNNNNNNNBOIIIIIIIIIII...LLOOOOOOOOSSSSSSEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR........

I haven't looked at the list of names yet. I've been challenging myself to try and figure out which 11 guys Dallas got on there. 11? The best I could come up with for certain was 6 or 7. My guess:

QB: Romo - has to be
FB: Nah
RB: Barber - has to be
WR: Owens - has to be
TE: Whitten - has to be
OL: Gurode, probably.
OL: Leonard Davis?
DL: ??
LB: Ware
CB: Newman?
CB:
S: Roy Williams didn't make it, thank goodness, from what I've read on here. Which makes guessin even harder. So I suppose Hamlin did but I've never been much impressed by him.
K: Folk - has to be
P: I don't know who this is.

Still, that's only 10.

There had to be better CBs and safetys in the league than anything Dallas has ... good thing for them the Eagles secondary had a crappy year beset by injuries.

Edit to add: Didn't think about Hotel Flozell at left tackle. He probably deserves it more than Leonard Davis. Weird to see them both make it.

 

I guess you could raise a question as to whether or not Sean Taylor belongs on the list, too.

Sure, he was having a great season before he was tragically killed, but he didn't play the entire season and obviously can't play in the game.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be on the team, just bringing it up to see how others feel. Is this the best way to give him a final honor?

 

Most of these guys are way past their primes.

That's funny. I don't recall Jeff Feagles changing his name to Andy Lee.

The roster is a complete joke, if only because Feagles was snubbed.

 

Most of these guys never had a prime.

 

This guy here is dead.

 

I have no problem with it at all. Classes up what is in reality a joke of a game.

 

Well, cross him off, then.
