ST: Cowboys TE Witten heading to 9th Pro Bowl

[Gameover]

This is the third time hes gone as a replacement #bigdeal 6 legit trips

He should've declined the offer.

 

[Gameover]

Pro Bowls are popularity contests. They are meaningless, if he made All Pro you had have something to congratulate him about.

hes a replacement at that! #totallymeaningless

 

[Future]

This is the entire list of every skill-position player with at least one All-Pro selection and 9 Pro Bowls, who is NOT yet in the Hall of Fame:

Manning
Gonzalez
Favre
Brady
Witten

fify, cool list.

At least you're consistent on the subject of Pro-bowls.
Good show!

I think its something to congratulate him for. Sorry it doesnt meet your standard.

Good show!

Did you book his "SF Superbowl" promise. lol

Thats the same dude that claims Orton to Williams is superior to Romo to Dez.

Guy goes to the troll pro bowl, and not as a replacement.

Cowboys TE Witten heading to 9th Pro Bowl

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will return to the Pro Bowl for a ninth time. He replaces Denver tight end Julius Thomas, who will be in New Jersey for the Super Bowl instead of in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.

Witten was an alternate behind San Francisco’s Vernon Davis, New Orleans’ Jimmy Graham, Thomas and Cleveland’s Jordan Cameron. He joins teammates Tyron Smith, Dez Bryant and Jason Hatcher for Sunday’s unconferenced All-Star game. Smith, Bryant and Hatcher all are making their Pro Bowl debuts.

Witten earns his ninth Pro Bowl in 11 seasons. He did not make the Pro Bowl in his rookie season of 2003 or in 2011.

Ahhhh.....I see the 3 yard out routes have caught the attention of many.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Congrats Wit!

Ahhhh.....I see the 3 yard out routes have caught the attention of many.

He averaged close to 12 yards a reception which is right at his career average.

You think they'll have your comment inscribed below his HoF bust?

 

[Blackspider214]

Congrats JWit. No matter your opinion of the Pro Bowl that is still an accomplishment.

Not really. All Pro is the real accomplishment. Not a goofy Pro Bowl.

when he said "no matter your opinion", he was talking about you.

Saying that your opinion doesnt matter.

 

[theSHOW]

maybe Lee since Bowman torn his acl

If Lee has recovered from his pinky nail break.

na, he was just talking.

I said "No matter your opinion of the Pro Bowl" NOT that any members opinion doesn't matter. Big difference.

You sound sensitive.

Take that in the bathroom, let it out, then come quote me.

 

[JPM]

Ah yes...the sweet smell of condescension. Comes with the territory in the Twilight Zone where you call out a HoFer, get called out on it and come back with high and mighty bathroom humor.

Oh to be a child again.

But hey...I'm just shocked you didn't answer my question with another question.

Hope you weren't surprised.

What was the point of this post?

You seriously don't get what I was conveying?
Really?
I guess I was too obtuse about the matter.

People are lining up congratulating Witten on his Replacement Pro Bowl appearance.
And deserved too, BUT...
Some of those same people are the ones who poo-poo'd Spencer's Replacement Pro Bowl appearance last year and some have denigrated it to the point of it never really should have happened.

I've read posts like that for months and months from multiple posters.
"Spencer was a replacement", "That's not getting selected to the Pro Bowl...", "The guy did nothing for us for years- the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest..."
And on and on ad nauseum. You never read... or posted comments like that? You are on this site too often to not.

I was scoffing at the hypocrisy of it all. The hypocrisy of congratulating Witten's well-deserved Pro Bowl Replacement berth and the minimizing Spencer's Replacement Pro Bowl berth for the past 12 months.

Now- does that make things a bit clearer for you?
I mean- I don't want to be unclear...

Agree or don't agree- I will listen. I've been swayed by many a good argument.
I'm fair. I'd hate for you- of all posters to think I'm too vague to get though.

I understand what you're saying, I'm just not sure I see what you're trying to accomplish. Spencer's nomination was 12 months ago, as you said and you clearly aren't anti-Witten getting in - so I'm not sure what you were hoping to get across here, unless it's to criticize some silly things people might have said a year ago. To which I'd say, there are bigger battles to be fought.

I'm simply treading water over here.
You got me.
My point is pointless- as it were to the general public.

I'm simply a guy saying what's on his mind in a public forum, for better or worse- like the rest of us.
I don't hope to accomplish anything when it comes to the Real World. I don't believe I'm going to change anyone here no matter what I say.

Just pointing out some hypocrisy that goes on around these parts, like anywhere else.
