Comment on The farce that is the Pro Bowl, today by Paul Gassee

Come on Gents! Time to get your s*** in gear…. No posts for the past three weeks….? Let’s get this media entity thriving a little bit, please ;).

Thanks!

As for Pro Bowls, we agree on their worthless status. Nowadays, with players making such huge salaries, the trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii meant very little to them. Once seen as a reward for all the hard work put into a season, the trip to the Oahu started loosing a lot of its value, as its top players could usually afford many such vacations with their families during the off season. A lot of top names started dropping out of the festivities after having been named to the Pro Bowl.

The voting will always include popularity, as a factor in which players make the Pro Bowl. That’s why the Hall of Fame operates in a much different fashion. Pro football writers are asked for their critical evaluation of players. They decide the fate of certain players, not the masses who may have been swayed by a certain player’s popularity. As the gatekeepers of the Hall, I certainly trust the John Claytons and Peter Kings in the world in making the right decisions when come time to decide whether or not players make it through the white pearly gates of pro football….

But surely it’s the fans’ opinions and thoughts that count and make the players half of what they are! Without the fans, they would be nothing! I think it’s unfair to generalise and dismiss and belittle the younger generation’s views and opinions on the game and players. What would you say if someone told you at 10 years old your own opinion did not count?

One last thing… speaking of Barry Sanders, Detroit please get one win this year!!! Pistons and Redwings can’t be the only 2 teams that Detroit holds close to the heart. I predict 3 – 4 wins for Detroit this years. I would consider that a success for such a pathetic organization!

Great blog guys.. I enjoy the articles. Watch out for Seattle this year. Something tells me the time has come for that organization. As far as Farve is concerned he should retire and stay retired. He is pushing the boundaries of becoming a joke in the NFL. Steve young… blah. Great QB boring personality. I know he is an accomplished quarterback but his lack of personality through the years makes me leave him off every list of greats. I would put Randall Cunningham ahead of him. That is just me though. I will give him points for having heart.

Bears should be very good this year so Seb you will probably be one happy man throughout the season. I miss Barry Sanders. The NFL has not been the same you left.

Keep up the good work guys!!

I can’t quite understand why people are so upset at Favre indecision. The man is one of the greatest players of all-time at the quarterbacking position. Like a great artist or musician, the more I see the man perform, the more sheer brilliance I get to witness. What’s wrong with that? Yoyoma, Pavarotti, The Rolling Stones, BB King….and Brett Favre. Thanks for enriching my life with your excellence. And please keep in going…

just a “rumor” for now…well, they say it is just a rumor. The reality is Favre will MEET with the Vikings coaches next week to discuss “stuff”….let’s wait & see but knowing Favre, you better believe if there is smoke, than there is likely a fire somewhere.. ;-)

that makes me think that, as we just started the blog, it will be just about time to discuss the always entertaining “All-Time Top 10 QBs” list.

Let’s put that on the agenda for someday soon. With current signal callers Manning and Brady now sure to be Hall of Famers eventually, what it does to it is it crowds the Top 10 even more so (IF, these two are indeed to be considered locks for the Top 10…). We’ll see that.

Comment on Crabtree a crapshoot? by Guillaume

For the record, Michael Crabtree is currently third among NFL rookies in jersey sales on NFLshop.com. Crabtree’s #15, Mark Sanchez’s #6 and Matthew Stafford’s #9 round out the top three.
