    I've had more than a few too many. I can't hang anymore. Just when the bar is getting full, I tap out.

    It's all about the pace man. One drink, one glass of water, one drink, one glass of water. Helps cut down on the alcohol intake (2 ways, by giving you something else to drink and making you piss a lot) and helps eliminate any potential headaches from too much alcohol.

    Works like a champ and you can go a lot longer.

    Ben gets passed over in favor of Phillip, "Alligator arms" Rivers. Figures.
    To paraphrase an old Staubach interview with Phyllis George,
    Rivers:" I like having kids as much as Cromartie, I just do it with one woman!"

    Yeah, Bens stats are very similar to rivers, ben has 27 TDs with 12 picks, rivers has 29 with 10 picks and both have over 4000 yards, passer rating is close with ben at 95 and phillip at 105, but in this last game ben could improve his stats over rivers or vice versa, that's why I think the pro bowl selections shouldn't be made until after game 16 is played....

    I can't believe Suisham didn't make it only due to missing 2 chip shots all season long. I wonder if he would have made it if he had 2 50 yard misses instead?

    Those misses probably cost us a playoff and him a pro bowl.

    I for one don't think any of our players got snubbed. AB was the sole no-brainer in my mind. Troy was good enough this year to be on the fringe, and I think it's possible that someone else who played better this year got snubbed due to Troy's selection, but I haven't though of who specifically yet. The talent that we put on the field this season was not top-tier.

    Guys once again Suishy did not deserve it. There are still 5-6 kickers in the league with a pct either better or basically the same as his and all of them have kicked a 50 yarder or multiple 50 yarders. Take off the Steeler goggles, Justin Tucker is more deserving than Suishy.

    As for Ben - nonsense Brady was selected, but Rivers absolutely deserves it over Ben.

    Thats a problem with Ben when it comes to Pro Bowls. As long as Manning and Brady are in the AFC they are going to get 2 spots no matter what. Even if they are outplayed by other QBs, those two are going to get it on name recognition alone. In order for one of those guys to not make it, they would have to be outplayed by a margin that probably won't happen. So in the AFC there's essentially one spot open. It comes down to being in the AFC means that there are 14 QBs battling for a single Pro Bowl spot.

    Its a similar situation to playing S. Troy is going to get a spot no matter what. He even got a spot in 2007 despite missing 5 games.

    That sound good, but that plan usually gets blown to hell pretty early.

    That was true until they changed the format. It's unconferenced now.

    I thought they still went by conference even though the teams weren't confrenced. Oh wow, he's not in the top 6 in the league then? Yeah he was boned hard.

    Ben's first half of the season didn't help.... and as previously mentioned neither does the fact that he isn't an NFL darling like Brady, Brees and Manning.
