12/11 is the last day you can go to nfl.com and cast your voters for the pro bowl. Let's help our white brothers get the votes they deserve.

Good call, Liverlips.


Each of us should set a goal of getting at least 5 of our friends/family to vote for our white players. Tell your girlfriend/wife, brothers/sisters, whomever, let's get out the vote!!!

Well, you can in fact vote as many time you want, so just going voting 5 times will do the trick..

I voted and try to cast votes in all the all-star games whether it be football, baseball, hockey, basketball and even major league soccer. It's our chance to make a difference on a practical level.

The Pro Bowl rosters are out and it's more of the usual. A couple of positives are the QB spot and defensive ends.


4of our guys made it at d end...


AFC: Jared Allen, Kansas City & Kyle Vanden Bosch, Tennessee


NFC: Aaron Kampman, Green Bay & Patrrick Kerney, Seattle

I'm sure one of the guys here can do a much better job than me complaining about a certain Redskins player who made the Pro Bowl.

It's getting very hard to take NFL football seriously.

Well, its hard to argue that he was not the best safety during the time he played, who deserve it more? I think it's ok, better choice than that crappy LB they call a safety, Roy williams, who'll probably get in anyway.

Btw our 4 DE where not just voted in, they will ALL be starting! thats great! the rest is usual crap. J. Ogden in front of Joe Thomas? Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm pissed.

Another encouraging event -- there was actuallya move toward putting worthy players on the offensive line in the AFC, which has 4 white starters (though perhaps the most ridiculous pick in either conference was the selection of over-the-hill, oft-injured Jonathan Ogden as a reserve tackle). The AFC has8 white starters altogether, more than either conference has had in many years, more than both conferences combined in recent years.


Unfortunately the NFC preferred to stick mostly with over-rated immobile sumos as starters on the o-line and altogether has 5 white starters, up from last year. (And yes, naming a dead man as a starter is ghoulish pandering.)


Not a single black QB made it even as a reserve. Edited by: Don Wassall

on the flip side of the coin we only have 1 white linebacker in the Pro Bow an no Wes Welker is a big shun.

Oh please, we all know Vince Young should be the starter for the AFC. All he does is win games.

Sarcasm aside, he was easily the worst quarterback to ever make the Pro Bowl.

Aside from some rediculous picks on the offensive line (as usual) like Leanard David, Flozell Adams, Andre Gorode of Dallas, as well as Jonathan Ogden of Baltimore and Walter Jones of Seattle (who both will probably make the team after they retire), I was happy with the progress we've made.

Our guys will be starting at 100% of the defensive end positions! Also, WTF did roided-up Merriman make the pro-bowl again?? He's done nothing but play like a p*ssy this season, getting destroyed by even sumo offensive tackles, let alone white ones.

No Wes Welker this year, but was anyone here shocked? I sure as hell wasnt. We all know he earned it and has been out-of-this-world great this season....but what makes Wes great is partly his ability to come from nowhere and get no appreciation.

All in all, a better pro-bowl roster that MANY prior years, but still many stupid, overrated black losers made this joke of a squad...Edited by: Thrashen

I'm sure to get flamed, but I don't see why the Cowboys linemen were bad choices. Seemed like the black ones were picked automatically over the white ones, but they have all played well this year. Adams and Colombo strike me as potential Pro Bowlers.

Well, Chad Clifton for sure played better than Flozell Adams, Mark Tauscher is having his best year to date, even if he is playing hurt. Colombo was outstanding stopping Kampy when both played against each other. Adams gets in year in year out for no reason, he couldn't even play in the game last year 'cause he forget to bring his equipment...!

im obiously disappointed that welker didn't make it (hes my favorite player), but there was a lot of competition for the afc spots i felt, and the simple fact that mainstream media guys were pushing him for the pro bowl is something of a step in the right direction

We need a lot more white defensive tackles, but I think Adam Carriker is miscast as a nose tackle. Not that he won't be a good one, but at end he would be another dominant one ala Jared Allen & Co, pretty much unstoppable.

Agreed..Pretty awesome that all Defensive End starters in AFC and NFC are white.

Did anybody notice that Albert Haynesworth made the PB? The NFL is starting to look like bodybuilding. If you get popped for a flagrant foul or PED test. Once your back on the field all is forgotten...
