Pro Bowl Quote

This is a great quote by Ross Tucker  of Sports Illustrated about the Pro Bowl:

When the new Pro Bowl format was announced, I thought it was a good idea. Obviously, I was mistaken. I realized that around the time David Garrard and Vince Young were announced as two of the AFC’s three quarterbacks. Seriously? I guess JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn weren’t available.

Does anybody have an answer for the Pro Bowl?

* A Cleveland Cavalier basketball player is arrested for [...]
