NFL Releases Pro Bowl Rosters

The NFL has released the first draft of the Pro Bowl roster. We know that at least the players off the two Super Bowl teams will  come off. Even thought the NFL has tried to discourage players and frowns on the practice there will inevitably be some that are 'injured' and can't play.

Not that most of these guys actually play for real anyway....

The league is trying something different this year. Rather than have the same old AFC vs. NFC format the teams will be picked from the pool of players available by team captains Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders. It could be an interesting twist, but only if the players actually play.

So we'll have to wait and see if it matters. Anyway...here is the current roster:
