i thought u were leaving the site Sammy? i must have missed something

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

I cannot see any New England players wanting to play in the Prob Bowl so that knocks many players off the AFC team.

Also I am not thrilled with Anderson and Rothlesberger on the AFC team. Anyone know who is coaching this game?

The AFC team has way more players that went deep into the playoffs as 3/4 of the team is from the Pats, Colts and Chargers, IMO they would not be interested in the game.

NFC has more players from other teams, even Dallas and Gbay are on the team but they ended on a dissapointing note and I think they play harder cause they were not expected to have such good seasons.

NO gates and no MOSS for AFC!

No I am back buddy, back in full force, but working now but will still get on enough.

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Bob sanders I am sure is also out for the AFC. Who knows about haynesworth also with the hamstring,

AFC won last year 31-28, I remember with a ferocious defense in that one.

NO line yet I think because they know half the AFC team is not playing in this one. NFC team is in better health I would think.

You would have better odd betting o nthe length of the national anthem than this game

That is true BAR as you cannot cap this game based on any real intagibles. One thing for sure you cannot bet this game big but maybe for 1 unit or 2 units it may be good.

I just heard Brady and MOSS both are not playing in the game. I figure though BAR if the NFC is playing their best vs the AFC's best the game can be a pickem. BUt if the NFC is playing their best vs the AFC's not so best team- NO brady, moss, gates, sanders, many other new england players should miss the game, it may lead the NFC to have a better chance to win this game. I guess TOMLINSON probably also would be out of this game as well.


Weird things happen in this game, but I think that Romo and Hasselbeck will want to play well in this game, especially ROMO after the bad game in playoffs. With injuries and I really think the NFC team is better anyway, I mean you take away the AFC best 4 offensive players, MOss, brady, tomlinson and gates, and that is a loss big time.

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Another thing to consider is that all the talent missing in the game is offensive players so far. This could have an effect on the total in this game.

Last year it was 31-28 went way over.

[FONT=&quot]Last year’s game was an Under if the info I have that the total was set at 65 is correct.

This year’s game, according to one site, opened at AFC -3.5 and is now -3.
Total opened at 64 and is now 63 or 63.5.

Is T.O. really healthy enough to play and play well? Ordinarily, I would think a QB and WR that have a history of success together would be an advantage for a team—and T.O. has had success with both Romo and Garcia, but I wonder (primarily because of T.O.’s former? way of alienating his QBs) if Garcia and he will even be in the same sets of plays.

All 3 Pro Bowl Redskins to wear jersey No. 21

Taylor's memory lives on at the Pro Bowl [excerpt below]

With the blessing of the NFL and at the suggestion of [Sean]Taylor's father, Pedro Taylor, the Redskins' three representatives in the game -- tight end Chris Cooley, offensive tackle Chris Samuels and long snapper Ethan Albright -- will wear Taylor's No. 21 jersey to honor their fallen teammate. The jerseys will be auctioned after the game, with the proceeds benefiting the Sean Taylor Memorial Trust Fund that was established for Taylor's daughter, Jackie.

Redskins owner Dan Snyder has paid for members of Taylor's family to spend the week in Hawaii and attend Sunday's game.
​

Glad to hear he is being remembered in this way.
