James isn't even an alternate. The three alternates are Antonio Pierce, London Fletcher and Brian Urlacher.

Further proof of how lousy a job they do.

James should have probably made it, but at the least he should be a top alternate.

I still haven't seen the Cowboys' alternates reported anywhere. I've found them for 12 other teams so far, but not the Cowboys.

Newman missed some time and that obviously hurt him, but Winfield and Woodson making it ahead of him is a joke.

They probably factored in how he does in coverage.


James has been playing great, but he didn't have a probowl SEASON. He's had a probowl HALF season.

The same thing could easily be said about a number of other guys they picked.

Woodson yea, Winfield I agree with him making it.

he has scored like 3 defensive touchdowns and they were all in big games that Minn won.

Hell, some of the guys they picked didn't even have HALF a probowl worthy season.

Who's the member that has that silverbear quote about Ratliff?



"Raliff will never make a probowl. And he shouldn't."

Something like that.


I gotta say, SB does a lot of research on players (mainly for the draft) but he's got a horrible history when it comes to DL.

Hey SB, remember Jimmy Kennedy? :D

Im glad too see Antione Winfield make it, he deserves it. 10 yrs in the NFL playing at a high level, and his first PB.

The idiot casual fans listen to ESPN to much, no wonder we only have five pro bowlers.

Let's not try and pretend this thing has any sort of rational formula or guidelines.

Is it possible none of the other players were selected as alternates?

That's doubtful. There are three quarterback alternates out of Romo, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Jeff Garcia, Gus Frerotte and Marc Bulger. If Romo wasn't one of the three, it would be a crime.

Newman, Adams and Folk could be alternates, as well.

This Pro bowl's a joke . Are players picked by the teams record they play for or the best player at the position.

I"m not saying Romo should definitely be in ,but Ellie Manning??????

Tony's missed three game and still has better stats.
And I'm sure Rivers has better stats.

It's a joke.:mad:
