Marion Barber, Cowboys Chad Clifton, Green Bay Trent Cole, Phil Mike Patterson, Phil O.J. Atogwe, St. Louis and Mason Crosby, Green Bay have all been mentioned by a very reputable internet sports “authority” (not me) that I will name since for some reason the bucket of silicone chips at the Star doesn’t like this provider or this guy (but some day, I’ll sequester myself into the Star and remove that bucket’s flimsy Hard Drive and…well, I’ll stop. It might be listening)

Jack, I don’t consider athletes who stuff one hole “athletes”. Personal opinion. I just expect “athletes” to do the unexpected and move. Another personal opinion.

Pat Williams shouldn’t be in the pro bowl? Are you high? Just because he’s a fatass doesn’t mean he can’t play. He has been a much bigger part of the Vikings’ #1 rush defense this year than Kevin, IMHO, but I am glad they both made it, as I thought both were deserving.

I want y’all to know the moderator, bless his puple and dead heart, is now playing the 12th man for you blocking a piece so innocuous any of you could have written it.

Dave if that was your “Cow” (how puerile (Latin, duh) you must be) holding such low standards for your very highest and most cherished position, so flat out copying another blog is now…a “newer, fresher, and sharper” view ? What would you call an older and incredibly stale view then. But I finally get it ! You guys really are the Osmond bros. in drag the way you have zip to say but can sing it so magnificently and always in the same key….B’sniffers one and all. The Cow concept fits you…

Clown may be rude (it is), but I wrote for RandB at times when it was a full and free flying column (and should have stayed that way, you Star penny pinchers !), and I even read this blog or post or whatever the he.l it’s called before I even wrote in it, and yes, to tell you the truth, I feel that I (usually, maybe not always) do offer a “newer, fresher, sharper and most surely a more confrontational view”.

You see I’ve never liked to float with the current, with people largely agreeing with one another, so newer, fresher, sharper and more confrontational is not really just how I try to write. It just strikes me as that kind of writing (seen more clearly as a sniper behind enemy lines) is in my blood. You see, following the Army ad that has produced so much, I am an Army of One, and loving it….

Not to point it out, but I believe these terms were used:

“Clowns”

“Whine” - Insinuating that we’re whiners here.

and “skipping out when newer, fresher, sharper and more confrontational minds” - Insinuating that the regulars here are none of those things. Why do you even read and post here, Mr. Paulos, if you’re so much better than this?

If other people posted that they jumped off a bridge, would you too?

I agree that EJ should have gone before Sharper, although I would suspect that LB is a tougher spot than Safety–I mean, the guy voted to start opposite Sharper missed two games with an injured knee before being shot to death.

Too soon for that? Sorry.

But seriously, Ken Hamlin is the other safety? That screams weak class to me. At LB, Henderson had to beat out Tatupu and Patrick Willis, not to mention probably some votes for Urlacher (similar to Sharper, based completely on his reputation, not his play).

In the end, like others (and maybe even you) have said, it’s just the Pro Bowl–who really cares?
