It Ain't Honolulu, But It'll Have To Do

by Tim on Dec 20, 2007 12:51 AM CST in News

Riddle me this: Who is the only player in the American Football Conference to win Defensive Player of the Week honors twice this season? Here's a clue--Despite notching 13 sacks in 14 games, he's not a Pro Bowler.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. Here's to Super Mario grabbing one of the mysterious "need" spots on the expanded AFC Pro Bowl roster. If this isn't made right, I'm going to stage some sort of protest. Still working out the details, but I think it'll involve doing terrible, terrible things to anyone whose name is "Kyle" and/or "Vanden Bosch."

We could carpet bomb Nashville...

I mean, any civilian casualties probably deserved it anyway.

True

There hasn't been a good carpet bombing in quite a while. Plus, I am really tired of watching those black & white videos of carpet bombing. It would be really nice to have some in color....maybe even HD.

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Don't worry

there's 12 more months of the current regime--we still have time for another war to start.

True

But at least we aren't bombing just to divert public/media attention away from the stained Gap dress.

Oh crap, we just went a little political.

Yeah

Something happened to it while I was at lunch. The fantastic BFD and I are working on getting it fixed. Mainly him, though. Because I don't know shit from shineola.

Interesting

That would explain why my shoes are dull. And smelly.

Redo the selection criteria

The NFL needs to redo its selection criteria. Pro Bowlers should not be elected as the result of a popularity contest. Most fans, frankly, are too stupid to think anything different than what ESPN or SI tells them to think.

Wait...

so, Reggie Bush ISN'T the greatest football player in the history of the universe?

Those lying bastards!

Sure he is

And LeBron James could line up at WR for the Browns, after he finished schooling all his inferior NBA competition. For reals.

NFL.com Preview

Well, there is at least a little recognition of the Super Mario oversight.

Did you know?
"Texans defensive end Mario Williams has nine sacks in his past five games, including a career-high 3½ last week. This week he aims for his sixth consecutive game with a sack. Williams leads the AFC in sacks with 13 but was not voted into the Pro Bowl."
