We all know it is, but here's another example that proves it. Clady?

Saw that...oh well Clady murdered him with the All-Pro voting which is a better measure of the year than the Popularity Bowl.

Pro Bowl selections should be done after the last game of the season! Do the players get paid extra for going?

The winning team gets to split a pot, which comes out to something like $7,500 a player.

Clady's only a rookie, and although he might have been snubbed, he needs to pay his dues like any other NFL rookie.

Thats what makes it even more confusing. Long was not very good at the beginning of the year and got better as the year went on. Clady was elite all season long from day 1 of the preseason.

But Long won the popular vote among the fans...because all the noobs that only watch the first 5 picks of the draft knew his name.

Most players have incentive clauses in thier contracts that pay them bonuses for making the pro bowl. Each player also gets paid by the NFL for participating in the game, with the winners getting a bigger take.

No surprise here. An unworthy player replaces an even more unworthy player. Yawn. Clady will be there for years to come starting next year.

Some say Cutler got in when there were more deserving QBs. Even moreso with Brett. Evens out.

Who gives a ?!@# anyway. The last Pro Bowl I watched was Elway's last.

Quick trivia! Who caught Elway's final touchdown pass of his career in that game!

Unless he kills every player from the east coast he plays each and every year he will not go. face it playing in DEN is like being in purgatory.. never seen by the majority of the voters that get them in..

The Giants have up to 12-15 million hometown fans not counting the millions they have acquired over the years of being in the NFL.. How many do the broncos have?

Facts of life folks.. Jay gets there because he has numbers to back them up.. How many TD's did Clady throw for how many yards did he pass for..

until there is a place for crushing blocks, pancakes etc @ NFL.com get used to it..

Play in DEN your odds of going to the pro bowl as slim and none unless your team in in the Superbowl year after year..

I'm calling BS if he played like a pro bowler he needs to be there end of story rookie or not.
