Just saw the Vikes have 8 players on this years roster. Favre, Peterson, Rice, McKinnie, Hutch, Farwell, Allen and K.Williams.

Very nice to see Rice make it, well deserved. Favre, Peterson, Hutch, Allen and Williams no question. Farwell is special teams good job but not last night, now McKinnie is something else will keep it to myself.

Packers have Rodgers, Woodson and Collins.

All of them deserved getting voted in especially Rodgers with what he has had to deal with the last 2 years, he has put up very impressive numbers since taking over for Favre. I think if Harris was healty all year he would be there also.

Going to be a sight to see Favre and Rodgers on the same sideline playing for the same team.

Cant be good to have to play the pro bowl the week before the super bowl at the same stadium. Specially when most wont be in the big game.

What if someone that is about to play in the Super Bowl gets leg broke, tears an ACL, etc??? This idea to have Pro Bowl a week before the big game is a bad one.

Amazing when you look at the numbers of Favre and Rodgers.

Both have around 4,000 yds passing. Both have 29 TD's. Both have 7 INT's. Both have over 100 passer rating. Favre completion % is a little higher at 67% vs. 63% for Rodgers.

Their numbers are almost identical.......All except for one.

Favre is 40. Rodgers is 26. Very good year for Rodgers. Unbelievable year for Favre. Glad Favre made the pro bowl, well deserved for both guys.

Something suspicious occurred. Ross and Huizenga of the dolphins must know something or did something to receive both pro bowl and the superbowl. The probowl has been held in Hawaii for 30 years. Unless there going back to before it was held in Hawaii and do random cities. If so these southern markets are going to make a killing money wise while the northern markets take a bath.

I think the idea in having the pro-bowl kick off superbowl week, is to generate more interest, thus increase viewership and attendance.

Intersting note. I saw on SI or ESPN they picked McKinnie as left tackle of the decade. I didn't see that coming. Of course I probably couldn't name another left tackle either.

McKinnie and about 10 others in this game dont deserve to be recognized as pro bowl players. The pro bowl is the biggest joke of a game anyways...the players give no effort and your better off wathcing paint dry than this game. The only cool thing about the pro bowl is when a blue collar guy like Heath Farwell makes it, like he did this year and will get a nice a vacation and bonus out of the deal

Id love to Aaron Rodgers on the vikes for the future. He has a great arm and is very smart with the ball. Not to mention he can take off and run.

We'll get him when he is on the downhill side of his career, the Vikes are good at that!

I kind of agree on McKinnie. He was pretty good the first 2/3 of the year but played some down right terrible games down the stretch. Getting beat by one of the best speed rushers in the game is one thing, but why were they struggling on run blocking schemes? Anyway I do see him getting back to form here in the playoffs.

Harvin is very deserving of his selection for kick returning. Glad to see that happen.

As poor as our safeties have been, wouldn't it have been nice to see Darren Sharper patrolling the middle of the field? Might have boosted a win or two and added confidence to the passing defense during Winfield's injury and beyond.

Ugh... McKinney has never been all that good. For his size he should be dominant but he rarely is that. He didn't deserve the kind of money that he got in his contract extension a few years ago, and hasn't performed any better since. A Pro Bowl birth? Come on, it's only because of the intangible benefits he gets from playing next to Hutchinson.

I completely agree about Greenway being snubbed. He had an excellent season last year, and while this one hasn't been as spectacular, the guy has still produced and is a consistent star for the team. A few more layout interceptions like the other week will get him some more celebrity status, which is what you seem to need to be named to the Pro Bowl.
