Obviously the pro bowl is jaded with the "popularity vote" which is a shame since there are a lot of players who have breakout years and don't reach the pro bowl. You know how much it would mean to that one-time pro-bowler. It could be the hightlight of his career, if they never end up on a championship caliber team.
I'm also excited because I'll be able to get an Eli Manning Pro Bowl Jersey.
At least Roddy White made the list. He sure has had one of those "breakout years". I'm doubly excited because I had him on my fantasy team.
