The NFL players, coaches, and fans got a lot of their picks for the Pro-Bowl correct. Sorry but there is one man that they left off the team, that has me pretty upset. The running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fred Taylor, should have been voted to the Pro-Bowl this season. He now has over 10,000 yards in 10 seasons and no Pro-Bowl appearances for the former Florida Gator. Don't even tell me that he definitely shouldn't have gotten in over Joseph Addai. Taylor has more yards and a better average per carry then the Colts running back. If their was a time to vote Taylor in this was the year. He's coming to the end of a remarkable career in which he has had some unfortunate injuries that have slowed him down but the man never gave up and always stayed positive. Addai will have more opportunities to get in, Taylor isn't and the NFL should have been more aware of his stats and vote in one of the most respected players in the league. And, to make matters worse, not a single Jacksonville Jaguar was named to the Pro-Bowl. I guess Jack Del Rio now has a chance to add fuel to the fire of his players since 10 wins gets you no respect and no all-stars. Nice!

Good call Deez. As a fantasy owner I have always hated Taylor b/c of his injuries but this year he has stayed healthy and proved that he is still a valuable back in the NFL. He completely has been overlooked both for the pro bowl and by his own team early in the season. If you remember, Jones-Drew was pretty much handed the starting job until Jack figured out that old reliable still can run it while Mo faded in his new role. Another guy that should be a little upset is last years #1 pick, Mario Williams. 13+ sacks no longer gets you into the pro bowl, Huh?
totally agree with mario, but fred needed some love!
Well, obviously Del Rio wins the coach of the year award going away!! I mean to have a team this successful with NO pro-bowlers means your the best coach in the league, right. Nope, he'll get robbed out of that too.

Mario Williams & Fred Taylor both got jobbed...as did Colston in the NFC...I would remove Willie Parker, Donald Driver and Kyle Vandenbosch from the rosters...as for coach of the year...Del Rio would be a decent choice, but what about Romeo Crennel who was all but certain to be fired after this season and now has his team on the verge of a possible division title? Or even Jon Gruden who has the Bucs in the playoffs with the most rag-tag bunch of players I've ever seen.
We all know I'm not bid on the whole MAN UPSTAIRS thing but let's take a glance at irony for a second. 1)Fred Taylor get ass-raped by the Pro Bowl voters. 2)Willie Parker breaks his leg on the first carry last night. 3)Fred Taylor will replace Parker on the pro-bowl team. The only thing that would've made this more fitting is if it was Addai that broke his leg.
Deez, you openly complained about Taylor getting snubbed, then an injury occurs and your wrong has been righted. I'm not sure if there is a GOD, but I know this, if there is his name is DEEZ!!! Oh by the way, just in case, DEEZ can you let me win Powerball on Saturday?
