Well, the 2010 Pro Bowl is upon us and the biggest question coming out of South Florida is – Who Cares??? The fans don\u2019t really seem to be pumped about the game, and the players appear indifferent to the lackluster appeal of the \u201cgame\u2019s best.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 When<\/strong>: Sunday, January 31 Sunday\u2019s game is more about who is not going to be there rather than who is going to be in South Florida for the \u201cbig game.\u201d The NFL in their infinite wisdom, has scheduled the game the week before Super Bowl (it is usually the week after), and therefore, the game excludes players from the best two teams in the league. Injured players or the \u201cmedically excused\u201d have also plagued its legitimacy factor of the Pro Bowl. For instance the AFC QB’S are Matt Schaub, Vince Young, and David Garrard (Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Philip Rivers were the original Pro Bowl QB’S.).<\/p>\n In all, 17 of 86 players have been replaced – 19.7%!! Brutal. Another 14 players have been excluded because of their involvement in the real game NEXT week (seven from each of the Cots and the Saints).<\/p>\n The following players have withdrawn from the game<\/strong>: Tom Brady (Patriots), Philip Rivers (Chargers), Wes Welker (Patriots), Jake Long (Dolphins), (Cardinals), Jairus Byrd (Bills), Steven Jackson (Rams), Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals), Lance Briggs (Bears), Charles Woodson (Packers), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Cardinals), DeSean Jackson (Eagles), Brian Cushing (Texans), Jeff Saturday (Colts), Peyton Manning (Colts), Dallas Clark (Colts), Jonathan Vilma (Saints), Darren Sharper (Saints), Reggie Wayne (Colts), Dwight Freeney (Colts), Robert Mathis (Colts), Jonathan Stinchcomb (Saints), Jonathan Goodwin (Saints), Jahri Evans (Saints), Drew Brees (Saints), Brett Favre (Vikings), Antoine Winfield (Vikings), Percy Harvin (Vikings), Sidney Rice (Vikings), Kevin Williams (Vikings).<\/p>\n Those are some pretty huge names that won\u2019t be taking part – don\u2019t you think? Don\u2019t worry, those elected to the Pro Bowl that don\u2019t attend will still get paid their 100k.<\/p>\n Jaguars QB David Garrard replaces Peyton Manning. The Pro Bowl has gone from a game featuring the best of the best to a game featuring the slightly better than most. It\u2019s a shame that the Pro Bowl has become such a joke – it was fun to watch once upon a time. My idea of entertainment isn\u2019t watching a sideline report with guest David Gerrard talking about his 7-17 for 97 yard passing day.<\/p>\n Enjoy the mediocrity folks – I\u2019ll be playing with my kid!\u00a0Lots of info. Folks – I hope it helps.<\/p>\n How Does -105 Odds sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> Looking for Internet Fantasy Predictions then look no further than Dave B\u2019s 2010 Pro Bowl fantasy football watch list\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[23403,18348,18353,66494,18352,1499,23404,7371,23405,23406,1537,1536,1535,18346,18347],"class_list":["post-18651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nfl","tag-2010-pro-bowl","tag-dave-b-fantasy-football-articles","tag-expert-fantasy-tips","tag-fantasy-football","tag-free-fantasy-football-articles","tag-player-ratings","tag-playoff-fantasy-football-cheatsheets","tag-pro-bowl","tag-pro-bowl-injuries","tag-pro-bowl-matchups","tag-projections","tag-start-bench-list","tag-studs-and-duds","tag-watch-list","tag-watchlist"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18651"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109410,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18651\/revisions\/109410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
