In a nearly inconceivably laughable circumstance and brilliant campaigning by the Washington Redskins, 20 members of the 6-4 Washington Redskins are leading in fan voting for their respective positions for the Pro Bowl. The Redskins have had an aggressive Obama-styled get out the vote campaign that has led to the Redskins leading the NFC ballots in 16 of 19 positions, eight of the 11 NFC starters on both offense and defense would be Redskins, plus all four special teams players.

How appropriate
The problem, once again, is DC. The mind reels.
On our way to 11-5

Screw it...
Let ‘em. Honestly, I’d rather they screw it all up this year, so we can’t vote anymore. I don’t want this to turn into a popularity contest. I think there should actually be some serious thought put into who goes. Maybe it’s just me?

What do you guys think of moving the Pro Bowl to the week between the Super Bowl and the Championship Games? Obviously it doesn’t address the fan voting issue but at least it might make the game more interesting.

I think they should just dump it
After living through the panic of seeing Drew Brees hurt in a meaningless ego scrimmage…just scrap the whole thing. And holding it before the Super Bowl just means a bunch of players won’t be able to make it, being too busy getting ready for a game that does count.
Of course, if it stands to make money, who cares how stupid, tawdry, or pointless it is? Not today’s NFL.
Up next: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet the buzzsaw...

again, true
First thing my wife said, “So the guys actually in the Superbowl won’t get to play in the Pro Bowl?” Easy there, Roger Goodell. Don’t wreck a good thing with games on other continents and all-star games that screw up the championship game.
Green Bay safety Nick Collins put it simply: "We got embarrassed."
