Pro Bowl Voting = A Joke.

Willie Parker getting in with, I believe, the #1 amount of votes for AFC running backs seems odd to me. The dude had TWO touchdowns. Yeah, he's the rushing leader, but come on, two touchdowns? Taylor or McGahee deserved it over him, in my opinion. Not that injuries are ever a good thing, but one of them should get the chance now with Parker injured.

Kerry Rhodes got snubbed at safety because he's a Jet. I'm pretty sure he's a free safety and would therefore compete with Reed for playing time, but it's not like that matters much in the Pro Bowl. Regardless, he had a much better season than Polamalu and was right up there with Reed and Sanders.

I agree with whoever said Ogden probably didn't deserve it this year (franchise and BrownsFan I think). From a pure injury standpoint, he didn't play in enough games, and when he did he didn't always seem like his old self (Merriman got around him on some pretty big plays in the Chargers game). Ogden's undoubtedly one of the all-time greats at his position and was held back by injury, but some other tackles had better seasons this year. Joe Thomas springs to mind.

Kelly Gregg was the biggest snub. Gregg had stats that Wilfork and Williams lack while playing essentially the same role as NT in a 3-4. In fact, Gregg has almost as many tackles (75) as Williams and Wilfork combined (83), plus he has just as many sacks! Gregg isn't supposed to have stats, yet he has stats while still helping Ray Lewis have another Pro Bowl season. How do the voters keep overlooking this guy? Yeah, being on a 4-10 team sucks, but the Pro Bowl is an individual honor and hopefully Gregg will get his due eventually.

I would want to see McGahee replace Parker, but we all know Fred Taylor truly deserves it more than any RB in the league.

amen....Mcgahee really has proven his worth to the team and the people of baltimore.....and he only needs 50 yards to Surpass his Career high.....and what an accomplishment would that be for him to accomplish...eith us Ravens! we seem to be doing that alot with players (McNairs Longest Pass of his Career was with us Last season, Pryce had his best season with us as a pro...and many others)....McGahee definately got snubbed

Gregg and McGahee were snubbed but I wouldn't say Mason got snubbed, he didn't deserve it more any of the WR's in the Pro bowl.

I wouldn't say the Ravens always gets snubbed. It's so hard to pick the "best players". Don't forget a couple years (it might have been last year) the Ravens had 8 guys selected to the Pro Bowl. That's more than probably 8 teams together.
