Punter Gets Punked

I guess that being the second worst team in the entire league means that even the lowly punter doesn't have a shot at a Pro Bowl. This would make sense except for one thing - the worst teams rely on their punter more than any other teams, and with Jones kicking the snot out of the ball every game, why is Feagles going to the Pro Bowl instead of him? Because the league has a love affair with the Giants and the rest of the NFC East. At least Team Obliterator didn't make it. Guess that love only goes so far. But back to Jones. Best punter in the NFL this year, bar none. And what ranking is Feagles? 2, 3, 5, 10? No - 19!!! Nine-frickin-Teen. So let's take the #19 punter instead of the #1 punter. And when you consider that the Lions punter Nick Harris is only ranked 23rd, and the Bungholes punter Kyle Larson is only ranked 42nd, Jones' feat (no pun intended) is amazing. It will be nice when the Pro Bowl goes back to being about the playes and not politics. If it ever does.
