My entire Facebook feed couldn't stop talking about Shadeur Sanders being a Pro Bowler. Weird. I haven't watched or cared about a Pro Bowl in at least 4 full decades. Why is this even news? 

It's the Tebow effect. The media circus has hitched their wagons to him, albeit for different reasons.

All star catcher Joe Girardi doesnt get what all the fuss is about 

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I'm mildly excited about the new Klosterman book.

Trubisky making the Pro Bowl was laughable, but his numbers were safely above average in that year. Shadeur, by contrast, has a legitimate case for having the worst season of any QB last season.

Hold up. He doesn’t deserve the Pro Bowl but there were two worse QB performances on his own goddamn team.

Holy horsefeathers. Bill Belichick did not get at least 40 of the 50 votes for the HOF. A lot of voters need to never vote again. 

[raw]

LOL. Bill Belichick finished SHORT of the 40 of 50 votes needed to get into the Hall of Fame.  So, 10 Superbowl appearances as HC, with the most all-time wins (6) and 2 other wins as a coordinator NOT enough to make 1st ballot. There's your bar.

Because he was grumpy and didn't pay nice with reporters so they hold a grudge.

[Soul]

So let me get this straight.  

Shadeur: pro bowler.

Belichick: not hall of fame.

 

Aaalllllllrighty then.

[BigSlick]

Simply laughable to not put a coach with 6 Super Bowl victories into the HOF on first ballot, come on

The Football HOF is going to make itself as picky-choosy as the Baseball one

I dunno....

 

[NorthsideAvenger]

20 years of being a dick to voters/media played a huge role in Belichick being left out of the HALL. Do I agree with it? No. Do I think these voters should not be allowed to vote again because they passed on Belichick for the HALL? Yes. 

Bill Polian was the leader of the "make Belichick wait a year"  crowd.

How about....

Ray Lewis: first ballot hall of fame

Bill Belichick: not first ballot hall of fame

Lesson learned: it's better to the NFL HOF voters to be involved in a double murder than it is to cheat a little bit.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

So are they gonna shun Brady on the first ballot too because of Spygate and Deflategate?

Brady still has a first ballot HOF resume when you remove 01-2014. 2015-22 he’s a 3X champ, 1X MVP and 2X AP2. It’s incredible.

I guess you really do need to kiss some media butt or they'll "get back" at you.  They're children.  No wonder Belichick was a jerk.

[CubColtPacer]

The funny thing about the Shedeur honor is that is arguably not even be the worst AFC Pro Bowl QB over the last few years.  Tyler Huntley made it in 2022 with 4 below average starts on the season.

The Belichick thing is just ridiculous.

[Banedon]

hahaha the Belichick thing is absolutely hilarious to me.  Polian is doing a ****** job of denying he had anything to do with it.

At least they left out Eli.

Joe Flacco has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. Lol.

Did Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers turn down invitations? Or, are they already on the AFC roster?

Someone needs to tell Alshon Jeffrey that the Super Bowl is outside. He told a reporter that he didn’t care what the weather report was for Sunday because they’re playing indoors.

[Irrelevant Dude]

This Super Bowl sucks just as much as I expected it to.
