Pro Bowl Selections On NFL Network

Not surprised, it's the Dolphins. 1 marquee player (Long).
 
Jake Long was the only Dolphin selected to the Pro Bowl. Not only did Long make the team, he was announced as a starter. Congrats to big Jake!. :up:
 
Wow, that's ****ing bull****.

But then again, I don't want Polite beating himself up blocking for some other player.
 
starks and polite are tops in the afc and have been playing their butts off, but its a popularity contest. good for jake long to get the recognition he deserves. he has shut down the top pass rushers this year.
 
Polite could still make the Pro Bowl. Only one slot is used for the fullback position and if Le'Ron McClain were to get injured or just decides not to go, they would go to the first alternate, which is very likely to be Polite.
 
Quote from Sparano:

"I want to congratulate Jake for being named as a Pro Bowl starter," said Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano. "His outstanding work ethic and desire to be the best player he can be is what sets him apart. The entire Dolphin organization is proud of him. But there are other players on our team who I also thought should have been voted to the Pro Bowl, and I'm disappointed that they didn't make the team."

Jake Long:

"I want to thank the players, coaches and fans around the league who voted me as a starter," Long said. "I am looking forward to representing the Dolphins, especially since the game will be played in Miami. It will be a special thrill to run out of the tunnel onto our own field. But this isn't an individual award. I know I wouldn't be here without the help of my teammates, especially on the offensive line, as well as Coach Sparano and Coach ‘Guge' (OL coach David DeGuglielmo)."
 
Snubs: Lousaka Polite, Matt Schaub[Brady over Schaub? no way. It's not still 2007.] And not one from the Bengals or Falcons...yet there are 8 Vikings and 6 Cowboys.
