In a nearly inconceivably laughable circumstance and brilliant campaigning by the Washington Redskins, 20 members of the 6-4 Washington Redskins are leading in fan voting for their respective positions for the Pro Bowl. The Redskins have had an aggressive Obama-styled get out the vote campaign that has led to the Redskins leading the NFC ballots in 16 of 19 positions, eight of the 11 NFC starters on both offense and defense would be Redskins, plus all four special teams players.

heh

after reading this i went and voted mostly redskins. I hate the probowl. I live in Dallas and can’t stand the talk of having, omg, 13 Probowlers! Hell, half of those are injury replacements or players backing out. If the players don’t respect it, why should we. But who watches it anyway?

I heard about this

It sounds weird, but could maybe work. Thats alot of player playing in the Super bowl who won’t be there. Perhaps no more than what it is currently, though. They should definitely start to rotate Pro Bowl sites, no matter what.
