So here it is, time once again for the selection of the yearly overhyped vs underappreciated Pro Bowl selections and what do ya know - we are barraged with the OverHyped once again. For starting QB on the NFC side do we have Sam Bradford, who has started every game this season and set the records for Yards and Completions by a Rookie, with one game remaining mind you, and has his team one win away from a division title after a 1-15 season? NO! Do we have Matty Ice, who has started every game this season and led the Falcons to the best record in the NFC? NO! What about the World Champion Drew Brees? Nope! So who does this fine nation of dog lovers chose? The #1 dog lover himself, Michael Vick, who has NOT started every game this season and has team right where they were before!
How could this happen, you ask? Well, I guess our fine President, Barack "Can't-Prove-He's-An-American-Citizen" Obama has a say in Pro Bowl voting too. How nice of him to take time out of his busy vacation schedule to call the Eagles and give them props for allowing a convicted felon a chance to right himself and become a "respected" member of society. Amazing how out of all the convicted felons we have in this country who have done this same thing, this one gets the Presidential Seal of Approval. I wonder how many votes for Vick he required his staffers to procure. I guess when you haven't went to prison you don't deserve any props from our President for turning around a whole team, but if you have been in prison and turned yourself around (allegedly) then he deems that worthy of his time. I hope he didn't use my tax quarter to make that phone call.
There is a sad movement in this country by teenage girls to get pregnant so that they can become cool, recognized, and more importantly for them even on Reality TV. Let us hope that the "Let's go to prison so our President thinks we're cool" movement hasn't now begun too. If is has, well, I guess fine honest white, er I mean wise QB's like Bradford, Ryan, Brees, and Rodgers have nothing to look forward to other than winning. Better get to felloning, guys!
