I'm all for Redskins players being in the Pro Bowl, so long as they deserve it. Guys like London Fletcher, C-Po, Santana Moss, and them deserve it. People on other teams are trying to get recognized too, and it's not fair to no recognize them due to homerism.
Agree 100%. I would actually be kinda mad if some of those guys got in from us. I just hope Fletcher finally makes it, guy has been great.

Fletcher needs to be there along with Portis and Moss.

I've voted Fletch and Sellers repeatedly. Portis, Carlos, Samuels, Campbell, Moss, Landry, and Cooley occasionally. Even Horton and Kendall a couple of times. Fletcher and Sellers have been snubbed to long. But like Matty said, our vote only counts 1/3, the players and the coaches take care of the rest. I don't think some of our players deserve it, and probably won't go anyway with only 1/3 of the vote.

Personally I dont see anything wrong in voting for your Skins. Again, as mentioned, it's only weighted as 1/3

Since I have called for the abolition of the Pro Bowl for about 10 years now, I can't get myself exercised about who gets in and who does not. I would not attend the game unless you paid me my hourly consulting rate to go to it. I'd be happy to get an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii in February, but you could not get me to that silly game at gunpoint.
Here is what I think is FAR more important...
As of today, the Washington Redskins have the same record as the Dallas Cowboys.
I want to have the Skins make the playoffs and have only one person on their whole squad make the Pro Bowl while the Cowboys miss the playoffs and still have 13 of their players named to the game.
The Pro Bowl is irrelevant. It does not matter.
Playoffs are where we need to focus attention and interest.

I agree. And being able to vote multiple times reminds me of the shady voting practices that robbed Chief Zee of his trophy last summer.

John Riggins has made the exact argument for years...as he said once on Redskin Report, "Why in the hell risk injury in a useless game."

Something hilarious is that we have about 17 players right now leading the league in voting. If we keep it up, it's going to be hilarious.
