Johnny Knox is an alternate as a returner. Props to him.

He's really the only guy from our team that deserves to go.

Only guy that played a decent level, I don't think he is having anywhere close to a Pro Bowl year but hey congrats.

^^ I thought Charles TIllman played pretty well this season. Not pro bowl level, but Briggs is not the only guy who played at a decent level.

Agreed. Fletcher gets snubbed again.

I guess he's declining to play (not sure why) and Clay Matthews is taking his spot.

And my odds of actually watching the Pro Bowl just went from 0.6% to 0.2%.

Yeah - I never watch this dud of a game, either. Half the players are replacements of those that declined the invite and the goal is essentially to not get injured. They're trying to change things up this year but it's going to be the same result of me not watching. And that's all the organizers should care about, really.
Turn down for what?
