Agreed, but have you noticed how little teams have thrown Dunta's direction since he's been back though?

With so many players and moving parts in the game itself, I'm glad the fans have no more than 1/3 of the Pro Bowl vote. We're among the most interested and knowledgeable fans in forums like these, yet even we are having a hard time differentiating a player's "reputation" from his actual 2008 on-field performance.

If the political-ness of it could be removed, I think the players, coaches, scouts, and GMs should be allowed to pick their all-star rosters....but at the end of the day, it is a game for the fans, to sell tickets and build up more revenue for the business, which is why I don't get worked up over Pro Bowl rosters anyway.

I'll chip in my votes - Andre, Owen, Mario need to go. Slaton and Winston have cases, but probably won't make it. It'd be nice for Winston if right tackles and left tackles were chosen independent of each other.

Also, Kris Brown was money until his miss in Cleveland. I still think he should be considered. Jacoby's had some nice returns this year, but I'm not sure it will be enough to get him in. Leach has done well, but with the whole running game starting so slow, I'm not sure if their success of late will be enough to get Leach to Honolulu.
