    Gets announced at 4 pm today. Jets historically get the short end on this day.

    Pro Bowl has no meaning... I hope the players who get bonuses get in, but you know what, it doesn't bother me at ALL if no Jets get in.

    I'd rather we not get respect. Depsite what they may say, it keeps the players hungry.

    Coles has to get selected, he's got a decent shot at a 100 reception season!

    Kerry Rhodes should make it as well

    maybe an outside chance for Mangold? probably not but I hope so.

    No, it's a matter of popularity....

    Who really gives a crap if our guys don't make it?

    If the pro-bowl was based purely on stats and definitive #'s, then I'd be pissed if some of our guys didn't go.

    IT'S A MATTER OF RESPECT. WHAT YOUR OPPONENTS THINK OF YOU. That's not a bad thing.

    No, it isn't, it is a matter of popularity and name recognition. How many years has Lynch gotten in and was no where near the player he once was?

    Don't care if we have any. I don't watch the game, and it takes away any chance of them getting hurt if they don't make it.

    In that case, it's too much respect.

    I beg to differ....

    On another note, did you check out those 3rd down completion percentages versus the Vikings? :wink:

    its till better than the Basketball All Star game, now thats a popularity contest. How Grant Hill still makes it is beyond me. Thankfully the fans only count as 1/3 of the vote, so for the player to get in the coaches or the players have to agree also.

    Screwed on the Pro Bowl

    Like I was saying.

    Justin Miller makes it. And that's it. No Coles, no Rhodes. And the same list of secondary guys for the millionth straight year.
