Peyton Manning leads fan Pro Bowl voting

Peyton Manning hopes he doesn’t play in the Pro Bowl. But NFL fans would like to see him there. At least the fans who care about the Pro Bowl would.

Manning is the leader in fan voting for the Pro Bowl, the NFL announced today. Manning is followed byAndrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, DeMarco Murray,Tom Brady, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Philip Rivers, Arian Foster and Matt Forte. With no linemen or defensive players among the top vote getters, it appears that a lot of fans are voting only for skill position players and then leaving the rest of their ballots blank.

Leading vote getters at the other positions are Packers fullback John Kuhn, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith, Cowboys guard Zack Martin, Cowboys center Travis Frederick, Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski, Falcons return specialist Devin Hester, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, Bills defensive tackleMarcell Dareus, Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller, Panthers inside linebacker Luke Keuchly, Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller, Seahawks strong safety Antrel Rolle, Browns free safety Tashaun Gipson, Washington punter Tress Way and Patriots special teamer Matt Slater.

For the second straight year, the Pro Bowl rosters are not divided between the AFC and the NFC. Instead, the 88 Pro Bowlers will be chosen by a vote of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting for one-third of the total. Those Pro Bowlers will then be divided onto two teams via a draft the week before the Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl takes place on Sunday, January 25, a week before the Super Bowl. Players whose teams are in the Super Bowl will not play.

Can't wait to see Manning play in the Pro Bowl. Would be wild if the Dolphins, Bengals, or another sleeper team make it to the Super Bowl. When was the last time either Brady or Manning won? 8 years ago, right. Give any one else but the Steelers a shot.

I'm absolutely stunned, nay flabbergasted, to see Manning leading the voting...Who saw that coming ??? OH MY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MerlinJones]

Keep in mind that he's leading the voting while at the same time trying to foist some of the worst pizza ever on the American public.

Now if that doesn't say something about people's capacity for forgiveness I don't know what does.

Sprinkling fritos on it makes it all better.

I'm curious as to what 10-12 minutes in a pizza oven does to fritos...Or do they put the fritos on after it's cooked...Sounds hideous either way to me...

Clearly, the Horns need to arrange affairs this Sunday to stunt Peyton's Pro Bowl popularity:

• Can we provide enough pressure with our front four often enough to keep the passing lanes flooded with live bodies, making things tougher for the elder Manning?
• Can our death squad safety duo of TJ Mac and newcomer Barron take turns with well-timed blitzes designed to separate Peyton's arm from the rest of his anatomy?
• Can Schotty and Shaun orchestrate lengthy drives resulting in scores and severely limiting the amount of time Peyton can work his wizardry?
• Is Shaun accurate enough to find Tavon in open spaces to create havoc and free up our other fly boys . . . or vice versa?

Papa Johns pizza doesn't need your love... it's doing just fine on its own.

Would love to see what manning could do with our cast of WR's and TE's bet it would be sick

Probably nobody unless Quinn really turns it on

That's not too surprising since they didn't go out of business shortly after the first time I tried it.

Thanks for letting me know for sure though Mr. Johns.

So why do you hate Hekker?
